"Other then starting a couple days late, due to being behind schedule on another job (not surprising since we scheduled this task, as I recall, about 4-5 months in advance) everything went beautifully.
The arrived when they said they would and their entire crew was extremely professional, respectful and helpful, especially Dave, who is the foreman. Anytime any of us went into the basement to see how everything were progressing the crew would stop what they were doing and show us around and explain exactly what they were doing as well as what was left.
As for the job itself, our basement has always been wet, and actually had water tricking in it from between the steps in the stairs under the bilco doors.(we live near Lake Erie and with the water table so high there we figured nothing could be done about it, but boy were we ever wrong, since they were finished the basement has been perfectly dry and much brighter (the wall panels they use are white, which really brightens up the space.) We've had some major rains since it's been done and we don't have a drop of water anywhere anymore.
Simply put, the job consisted of digging around the entire interior perimeter of the basement, putting in drainage, a new sump pump system with drains to the outside and away from the house, and then putting down fresh concrete over the drainage system and old sump pump hole. In addition they wired in a new power circuit just for the pump ,so something else in the house tripping a breaker wont kill power to the pump. It sounds simple, but it was a lot of hard, heavy and wet work and of course there was far more to it then I can describe.
My wife and I both expect this would make the basement dryer, but neither of us expected it to work so well. We would have been happy had it simply been dry enough that we could store things down there without them ending up covered in mold, but instead we got a basement that not only can be used for storage, but is even dry enough to use as living space.
In you live in Chautauqua County and have a wet/damp basement don't even think about it, call Shaun today and get him out to your place as soon as humanly possible. You wont be sorry, and you won't believe how huge a difference it will make (Shaun told us we wouldn't believe it, but we figured it was hype, but boy were we wrong, he was absolutely right.)
This is one of those rare occasions where the my only complaint is that we didn't do this years ago immediately after we bought the house!
