Get matched with top foundation drain installation pros in Buchanan, NY

"I posted an initial review on 2/21/19 on a job done on 1/11/19 to fix groundwater from coming into our basement. The drainage system and sump they installed was not collecting all the water that was coming in, as we had leaking from several areas along an uneven rock ledge. I had reached out to our salesperson by phone and email and never heard back, so I was very frustrated. About 3 weeks after I posted the review, I did get a call from Jeff Allen, one of the supervisors. To make a long story short, he sent out one of their waterproofing specialists to look at the problem. We had already hired an independent mason to try to remedy the problem but he had not yet had a chance to do the job. Jeff convinced me that CT Basement systems would do absolutely whatever it took to fix my water problem. I cancelled the independent mason. Danny, a mason from CT Basement Systems came out and used a very ingenious method to divert all the water to the originally installed water guard trough and then to the sump. It is working beautifully!! I think Danny is a genius and I am so impressed and thankful for Jeff's perseverance and kindness in making this happen. I am now a very happy customer."

"Tim explained the project details in advance and how this should alleviate basement flooding. Tim and crew, excavated to below slab on 2 sides of house per plan; repaired cracks and holes in foundation, applied waterproofing and perimeter drainage with pump. Backfilled and leveled work site and seeded grass. Crew was professional and hard working. First rainfall few days later showed everything working perfectly."

"The project went extremely well. I can’t say enough about the professionalism shown by James Walsh and his magnificent crew. I called for an estimate after reading all the glowing reviews on Angie’s List. The fact that my location was in Northern Westchester was not an issue. He was very accommodating. We spoke about what I wanted and the ideas I had and he offered his opinion and sometimes alternative suggestions based on his vast experience. Due to changes in the weather, the start date was delayed, but James kept in touch throughout. On the first day, he and his crew came out to inspect the site and take measurements. They also manually broke up the concrete walkway...with sledge hammers?. For the next three days after that, they were here every morning at 7:30 am. His crew was amazing. They and James all worked together like a well oiled machine..not wasting any time. Their craftsmanship was outstanding! You could see the respect that they had for each other. James was great at finding solutions to potential problems. With the driveway apron, there was an issue with the depth of buried Verizon cables. With no info from 811, Verizon, or the City, I was ready to give up on the project. James was very encouraging saying that they would go very slowly and carefully and make it work somehow. In the end, we had no problem with the installation and it turned out beautifully. In another instance, the stone yard did not have the pavers that I’d chosen for the walkway and James went with me to select a new paver, offering valuable advice about the preferred size and layout suitable for my space. We selected a 3 piece paver set that neither of us had intended and it looks fantastic. He discovered that, because of a height difference, we could not use the same pavers bordered by bluestone on the front door platform. We decided to just go with all bluestone on the platform to maintain a uniform height. After trying to brainstorm other options, James suggested a colored bluestone for the center. I was a little hesitant because I did not want the colors to clash. He reassured me that it was neutral enough to work. I trusted his judgement and it looks wonderful! James is a very trusting person. He asked for no money upfront or throughout the job...no 1/3 now, 1/3 halfway through, 1/3 at the end. With him it was simply he does what you ask him to do, and you pay him when he’s finished. That’s rare these days. There was no additional monies tacked on at the end of the job....even if he paid more for materials than anticipated. The costs were not passed on to the client. The job site was left immaculate. All debris was removed and even some that they didn’t generate! All in all, I would not hesitate to work with James and his crew again. They were very meticulous in every detail. You could see the pride that was taken in what they were doing. James is very lucky. He’s got one of the best crews around. At the end, he and I walked through to inspect each of the areas. James was very patient in answering all my questions and concerns. After that, it was “call me if there are any problems and I will come back and fix it” and they were gone. After having worked with James for a mere 4 days, I’m sure he meant it! You will not regret hiring Rock Solid General Contractors!"

"Gregg did a fantastic job repairing our basement foundation, and at a very competitive price. He and his excellent crew showed up on time every day, worked quickly and efficiently, and did a great clean up job. He was with them from start to finish, unlike most contractors who just show up in the morning to drop off their workers. Gregg is an old-school craftsman who obviously takes great pride in his work, and heâ s also someone who thinks outside the box. His company motto is â Exceeding Expectations,â and thatâ s exactly the experience we had. Weâ re totally satisfied with the job he did, and would not hesitate to use him again. Happy to give him our very highest recommendation!"

"We have an old house (100+ years old). I called Atomic Rooter to fix a bad clog and reconnect drain pipes. They responded quickly, came the next day (as agreed), on time, professional, clean and upfront price. For plumbing services, I think they were very reasonable. Larry and his assistant were great. I will use them again."

"Dean and his crew were professional, reliable, extremely neat/clean and went above and beyond, often, to make the sure work was completed to my satisfaction. They did small things not even required to make sure the entire basement area was much more than even expected. The basement has never been so dry in the 40 years I have lived here. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Cassidy is professional, punctual, and clearly communicate. Thank you for guidance and repairing our corroded pipe. Thanks for installing the valve for the expansion tank too! I didn’t realize how much money that will save us in the future. ??"

"Willie from G&R Landscaping was very professional, and did an incredible job on my property. His attention to detail was like no other, and his work was exactly as we discussed. He installed a belgium block border on my driveway, and his work was extremely neat and clean. Willie also put top soil/seed in a section on my yard, and cleaned out brush and leaves behind my shed and completed everything perfectly. Willie is very responsive and willing to listen and give advice about anything landscape related. His price is very fair and he keeps the customer in mind throughout the whole job. I would recommend him to anyone."

"Billy , came to my rescue after almost being ripped off from an inscrutable vendor who was going to charge me an exorbitant fee for French drains. Billy â  s experience and impeccable work ethic assured me the job would only cost a faction of the price and proceeded to do the work by himself in a day and a half and also restored and landscaped the excavations. It was a pleasure to meet him and appreciate his expertise in rectifying the problem."
