Get matched with top house leveling pros in Wallington, NJ

From start to finish, the entire crew was professional, punctual, and completed the job right on schedule. A special shoutout to Eric, the manager, who was superb throughout the whole process. He took the time to explain every detail thoroughly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt completely comfortable with the plan before work began. I am extremely happy with the final result and the level of professionalism demonstrated by the entire team. I highly recommend Top Pro Construction to anyone in need of roof repair or replacement!"

"We hired them to build a retaining wall to level out our sloped backyard and install a new patio. They recommended natural bluestone bordered by classic bricks, and wow?what a difference! The stonework is flawless, perfectly level, and handles heavy rain with zero drainage issues. It looks like a high-end resort back here now. Worth every penny."

Thank you!"

"Full waterproofing of the basement in our 95 year old house, including demolition of walls and shelves/cabinets/sinks and plumbing. Additional service of adding a footing to the basement walls. All the work took three days. Excellent work and looks great, though a bit costly."

"The Bazellari team were great every step of the way. The communication was great & the work they did was very good. They cleaned up after the job was done & my house looks great. They’ll be coming back to redo my deck. I highly recommend Bazellari Construction !"

"The Situation:
We moved into a new home and discovered that the prior owner had created a makeshift water solution in the basement. We had been in the house for about 3 months and were getting increasingly anxious about this. The water was overflowing into the basement  and eventually running into the sump pit (which incidentally was sitting directly below our breaker box). The sump was exiting across the basement via a pvc pipe hung from the ceiling at an inverted angle. So a lot of the drainage water would backflow back into the pit , or just sit in the middle of the sagging pipe. 
Since we live on a high water table, this was the first major project I wanted to tackle. I researched and interviewed a few companies and after meeting with Bob (the salesman/engineer) we felt comfortable with American A-1s solution and timetable for the job. During the initial inspection we also discovered a bulge in our basement floor caused by hydrostatic pressure.

The Solution : 
French Drains running the perimeter of the basement and two new sump pits position away from the circuit breaker, but still at the lowest level. One of these pits houses 2 sump pumps. One positioned higher than the other in case the first one burns out. The second pit houses a water powered backup (http://www.basepump.com/Products/Basepump.html) positioned at a higher elevation than the standard pumps. This is in case of a power failure during a storm such as a hurricane. American A-1 recommended a different, less complicated water pump but after researching several online I decided on BasePump. I ended up having my own plumber install it , because of the comfort level I have with him. (RAM Plumbing)

The exit strategy was well though out. The exit is directly above the pits through our foundation wall. From there the PVC water pipe runs underground to a seepage pit underground in our front yard which pitches away from the house. While I would have preferred the water to run into the town storm sewers, there is an ordinance in Ridgewood that prevents this.

After the installation we were a bit concerned because the pumps were running every 5 minutes. However recently this has died down to about once ever 90 minutes. And I assume will decline further as the ground dries out from the winter melt. If not we may need to raise the level of our pumps a couple inches.

Lou the foreman of the job was amazing. He was EXTREMELY respectful of our property and concerns. This is not a trivial undertaking. You are essentially jack hammering cement from  your basement and having it removed. When you are buying these drains for the price of a down payment on a nice car, its great not to have to worry.

The only minor issue we ran into was with the electrical inspection. The American A-1 recommended electrician used switches that were not matched to my current breaker box. The inspector failed us for that. The electrician was back within a couple days to change them out and we passed with flying colors.

Anyway ... our basement has been dry since and with the exception of the pump frequency we have had ZERO problems.
Here are a couple pictures of the work ... the staining you see on the floor is just the new cements still not fully cured yet."
