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

"Foreman Tim and crew members Dan and Ty did an excellent job installing a complex series of supports for our basement walls. While they worked hard each day, they were still most accommodating of our needs as homeowners. They moved their equipment several times so that we could be on time for personal commitments, they worked quietly and efficiently (except for the sounds of their equipment, we would hardly have known they were here), and when they were finished, they carefully cleaned our basement before their departure. We enjoyed our experience with Tim, Dan, and Ty, and we’re well pleased with the work they did."

"Went very well.  They were neat, professional, and finished the job in a few hours.  I would recommend them to anyone looking to install a drainage system.

"Long, took 11 1/2 hours. They had warned me that it could though, and that there was no way to predict if this install would be a long one."

"It’s been 5 months since Todd and his crew encapsulated my crawl space but I wanted to wait to give a comprehensive review of their services and the outcome of their work. The short answer is: I’m thrilled! Here’s the story: Last summer I bought a small home which has a crawlspace. As soon as the weather turned humid I noticed a distinctly musty/earthy odor. When I had central air installed, all it did was exacerbate the situation by blowing the air from the crawlspace all over the house. To say I was distressed is an understatement. I wasn’t sure encapsulation was the answer but after calling around and doing some online research there didn’t seem to be any other obvious solutions. While I had built one new house (full basement) and gut renovated another (slab foundation) I found myself in new territory with an older home (60s) and a crawlspace. Doug came in and did a consultation. I had a lot of questions and deep dove the technical details. I’m sure it was trying for both Doug and Todd, but every question I had was answered promptly and thoroughly (something other companies failed to do). I decided to go for a full encapsulation solution with a commercial humidifier, drain, and some underlayment in particularly rough areas. Todd (and his assistant Kyle) did outstanding work and every unexpected issue they encountered was handled quickly and professionally. When they found rotting wood forms that were left from when the concrete supports were poured, they pulled them out. When they found some rough areas of construction debris around the perimeter, they cleaned that out. And when Todd found some minor seepage in the corner of the crawlspace that he traced it to the outside where a downpipe was punctured and draining too close to the house, he went and bought some new downpipe and repaired it--charging me just for the materials. To say that these guys went above and beyond is an understatement. Any homeowner knows that feeling of having made a horrible mistake and I wasn’t sure the crawlspace issue could be fixed. Not only did Todd and his crew do an amazing job but they put me at ease throughout the process. They were punctual, tidy, thorough and just generally great to work with. I couldn’t recommend them more highly! (Now if only I could find other contractors who are just as good…) P.S. The other reason I waited so long to write a review is that in my particular situation, there is little separation between the air of the crawl space and the rest of my small house. So after it was first encapsulated, there was a strong smell of… well kind of a mix between plastic and dryer sheets. It was not terribly unpleasant but distinct and noticeable (and I’m very sensitive to smells). If anyone else experiences this, I recommend buying a large fan for the crawlspace and using it periodically to move the air from the crawlspace out of the house and move fresh air in. (I bought a cheap contractor fan that pivots upwards and put it on a smart home remote). Over the course of a few months it dissipated and I’m thrilled to report that I don’t notice it at all now."

"Response was very quickly . Fantastic work. Won't drain your wallet . Great work!"

"Love HomeAdvisor! Boss Plumbing was great! Very professional but not stand-offish. They went above and beyond installing my hot water tank. The home advisor app would not let me make a payment. They drove my husband to the bank, he could only take out so much and it was my account. They drove BACK to my house to pick me up and went BACK to the bank! You do not find many people like that.

"As a realtor, I found Rich from Expedient Environmental Solutions while searching for a client who needed mold remediation. He and his crew did an excellent job at a fair price. They finished on time and left the home clean. So, when I was looking personally to have basement waterproofing (interior french drains and sump pump) along with radon mitigation, I received 3 quotes, of which theirs was the most comprehensive plan, and again not the highest quote overall. They finished the work ahead of schedule by bringing four workers the second day, were respectful throughout and left the area reasonably clean. I'm confident that my days (and nights!) with the shopvac and flooded basement are finally over, and grateful they stand behind their work for a full year. Good contractors are hard to find. Glad I found them. Thanks and I highly recommend!"

"JSP Home Services replaced our old Minisplit. It was one of the hottest days of the year, We called scheduled and JSP arrived the next day and completed the install by noon."

"Could not recommend more highly! Have worked with them over the last couple of years on many jobs including a complete redo of a long gravel driveway, landscaping projects, a paved foundation for a large propane tank, snow removal, debris removal, lawn care and more. They offer knowledge and advice, they go the extra mile, and they work patiently with new homeowners. Our home would be a different place without Bob and his team, and we look forward to continuing to support their business."

"Gaia is a great company in every way. The boss, Dan, is extremely knowledgeable, hard-working, creative, and fair. The crew are very talented, and extraordinarily decent people. I hired them to design and install a garden, and the result is nothing short of a work of art - without comprising anything on function. That, to me, is what makes Gaia really stand out - they can do it all, and will , but where they really excel is in their creative vision and love for their work. I will also add that while Gaia were on the garden project, my general contractor disappeared. I asked Dan for advice on how to get a range of other projects done. Gaia themselves took on some of the work, including designing and installing a sweet new deck and upgrading my windows. Where the tasks were outside of their capabilities, Dan gave me numerous and great referrals so I was able to rebuild a team. Frankly, I couldn't be happier than my general contractor disappeared. Next time, I'll go straight to Gaia!"
