You may think that this cost is high. In a sense yes it is. However, for the amount of work that was done to our foundation and the quality of work performed it is not. These guys were very meticulous about their work and took pride in making sure it was done right.
I consulted Utech to request a quote. I was called by David Utech (owner/owner's son) the following day, and we agreed that he would stop by on 12/26/2013 for an estimate. A very friendly person, David arrived on time and pointed out a long line of calcium-formation from where water was pressing against the seal. He went on to explain Utech's process for repairing the crack and quoted me a price of $816 (after tax). The price was on par with other companies I researched on AL, so I went ahead we were scheduled for 1/3/2014 at 9AM.
Sure enough, Brian and Jay from Utech arrived at my house on the scheduled date, a bit early. Both very nice gentlemen, they explained what they were going to do. Before setting to work, they laid down a walkway of plastic wrapping leading from my kitchen down to the basement, so as not to get our floors and carpet dirty. This was something I sincerely appreciated, and a nice touch that I know isn't done by all companies.
They set to work right away, and about 30 minutes into the job, I headed downstairs to check on the process. This was good timing, as they had a portion of the floor jackhammered away (part of the process). Brian informed me that the previous homeowners failed to properly cap off a plumbing line that was used for a 1/2 bathroom. Additionally, there wasn't any drain tile connected to the sump pump from that specific area and a couple of other issues of concern.
Although we never experienced any problems caused by Brian's discovery, I figured we may as well fix the issues since the ground was already opened up. I asked him to revise the estimate. He called David, who advised that the work could be done for an additional $300. Doing the work after the fact would've been about $650. I told Brian and Jay to go ahead with the additional work.
They finished the seal and corrected the issues by 1PM. Once done, they cleaned the work area thoroughly, as well as our kitchen floor. All told, I was very happy with the work done. Although it was a bit more than I wanted to spend, I'm glad that things were addressed now versus later.
