It went well. The cost for the work is Hugh. Biut it's a big job according to the rep. And it comes with a warranty for life.

He arrived promptly and was very professional. He was thorough in looking at all the things we noticed. He pointed out ways we could continue to monitor the pressure for any signs of distress. He was honest in telling us the mistakes that were made by the previous company, and honest in telling us that if we hired him to fix it, it would void our existing warranty. He also guided us in getting the company to repair the work that was previously done improperly, which worked out great! We got them to come down, explained what our second opinion had said, and we were able to get it fixed. We are very grateful for his honesty and would recommend him.

I purchased the deal and I got an email from him.  I emailed him to try and set up a time and I never heard back from him.  I called him back in February and he said he was on vacation and he explained he would take care of this.  I explained that the deal was about to expire and he said don't worry about that we will get it done.  I am just very disappointed that he never got back to me.

The service worked out pretty well. I haven't taken advantage of the commentary yet, but it was good. I did not pay anything over the $49 of the big deal. He was very gracious, and he did what he could, and as quickly as he could.

The provider did the inspection and told me that he would mail me the results of the inspection but never did.

Neither solved the problem but I was comfortable I did not have a foundation issue.

Christian Sundahl said it would take two days and he was right on. He was at the job supervising 5 guys the entire time. It was a lot of work hauling out concrete rubbish and bringing down rock to the basement.

Christian did a very thorough inspection and provided a very informative written report with recommendations.  We haven't done any of the work he suggested, but will probably do at least some of it in the near future.
It took awhile to schedule the appointment, but he did a great job once he made it.

It was very easy to schedule an appointment and there were no additional costs beyond the prepaid rate of the Big Deal. However, there would have been additional costs should I have hired him for the additional work. That price he quoted for the work needed did seem to be pretty high. He was very nice, honest, and knowledgeable. He showed up when he was supposed to and was very responsive.

It was fine. We’re still considering moving forward with the estimate. He was professional and nice. I just need to get some other estimates and make sure that we will actually going to do the work. He certainly walked me through every place and showed me different things. The price to give me an estimate was very reasonable. It took him a little time to give me the estimate back.

We spent a great deal of time carefully reviewing all areas. Mr. Sundahl provided a very detailed commentary as we proceeded and I learned a great deal. He found no areas that needed work, did not try to sell me any further services and warned me that some "problems" were meaningless. As an example... vertical hairline cracks in the external concrete that covers the concrete block foundation r not an issue. I also learned that concrete block foundations are more porous, cheaper and less reliable than poured concrete foundations. Good lesson should we ever again build a house.

We have not done any work with them. They worked out very well. It was probably a month ago. It was very easy. My husband handled it, so, I am not exactly sure. He came over into our house and looked at the basement we were concerned about and had it to the basement dry. It is our house that we currently remodeling. We are just starting that process now. We will soon have our information for you on the contractor we showed and on the three companies that we used for clearing some trees of the property. We talked to several different contractors and each contractor had their own story about what needed to be done but we did not use to do their story. I think they were professional. So, now, we are going with our general contractor but we wanted to do some research before, we had a sense of what might be going on in this basement, so, we called the 2 professionals to specifically specialized in basements, that is what we did. He is going to put in some reducing stuff, and french drains. I like him, he was good, and he had a good product. If we work, we have not thinking about redoing our whole basement, he surely might actually redoing the whole house, have someone definitely would be considerate, and he is very knowledgeable. $13667 is the total investment of the service.

The guy that came out is selling his work. He just went into my basement look at the floor and then he came upstairs and gave me a bid paper with the cost of the work and it cost 11,000 whatever money and we went around the house. I expected really more from them. I think those guys are just selling whatever they're doing to make big money. I told them that I cannot afford the project and the guy was kind of disappointed. He tried to convince me that I really have to do that. He's professional and everything but he is just selling his job, a job that makes him a lot of money. I would not use them in the future. They're really pushy.

He removed all our junk, cleaned up well, and power washed the floor of the garage. We are very pleased with him. He was very professional, on time, responsive, and helpful.

We are extremely happy with the work that was done to waterproof our basement.    We had just bought our home, and quickly learned that with heavy rains, water was coming up through the basement floor.   While it was only an inch or so of water, we wanted the problem resolved.  Christian, the owner of the company, came personally to look at our basement and give us a quote for the job.  He took a lot of time to review and explain in detail how he intended to address our problem, and answered all of our questions.  
The job took about a day and half to complete, and Christian and team drilled up the concrete to install french drains, a sump pump, and put in a dry well in the backyard to pump the water into.   While the work did create a lot of dust, they were careful to block off the doorways so it did not get into our kitchen which is right up the steps, or our garage which is next to the basement.
We have had absolutely no water since the waterproofing was done, the best test coming over the past week, with heavy rains a few days ago and more today.    
We have also called Christian a few times with follow-up questions, and has been incredibly responsive.  He is a true professional and someone we trusted to have in our home when we were not there.  We definitely recommend his services.

After talking with a number of different companies and getting bids, we went with Christian Sundahl because he had the most sensible approach, was willing to handle some simple redo work that was not related to the main job (basement waterproofing), and was competitively priced.  We also were impressed by his responsiveness right from the start - and I can't say enough about how responsive he has been, even after the job was completed and paid for.  We will use him again if/when other redo needs arise.
