Best french drain pros near Van Wert, OH

"Tracy did a great job of clearing the drain on my bathroom sink and kitchen sink too, which I wasn't expecting. They drain beautifully."

"Several years ago we had tree roots that were growing into and blocking our drainage lines beneath our basement floor perimeter. We called EverDry and they promptly sent our a representative who laid out a clear plan with cost. It was during the colder weather and he gave us a better price to keep his men busy. They worked efficiently and dug out around the exterior and tarred the walls. Inside, they broke through the floor around the perimeter to lay new lines and moved the sump pump to a further corner of the basement and neatly covered the old hole. It was a messy job that my wife and I feared would never get cleaned up. How wrong we were. They removed all of the concrete debris and when they were finished, our basement was as clean as it had been before the work started. Remarkable! We have continued our $25 a year to maintain our warranty and have made use of it (with no charge) on several occasions. We made a good deal. G.J. Bowling Green, OH 43402"

"I can now use my basement for storage and the easy breathe took the musty smell out of the basement."

"Free estimate. Installed a new sump pump did a great job. Easy to contact and arrived on time."

"We had a challenging project with water removal and structural support issues. Our crew of Tim (Foreman), Marq, Jayshawn, and Devon worked diligently to install a new drainage system and support beam for the house, spending late nights to get the job done. Thanks to (Manager) Cornell for his assistance on this complex project. Matt E"

"Came out on time. Presented two offers. Snaked drain and used camera to detect any other blockage. Cleaned up after. Had to come back a second time to install a part they needed to order. Did a great job."

"Home Advisor is not User Friendly to do initial reviews prior to the work being done. THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN STARTED YET ON THIS REVIEW. I RATE Advance Restoration a 5 STAR INITIALLY based on their communication and responsiveness, and will add/delete to this review once the work has been completed. Marty has been great, so far! Discharge may cost more, and I will evaluate in detail after the work is done. I am an older senior and my husband is 18 years older than me. Since I am more familiar with houses, issues and know how to ask many questions, I handle issues that arise. When I saw a little water weeping into our unfinished basement concrete block and onto the floor a little, I decided to call and get estimates for waterproofing companies. Our home is a ranch built in 1968. I was looking for bids for a partial system and open to recommendations for our basement floor as our full south wall and 2 feet on either side are done already. Several from Angie's list responded quickly within 1 or 2 days. Five or six, I believe, were interested. Two were unknown to me and not considered. I received estimates from 2 well-known bigger companies, 2 bids from better known (I think) companies, and 1 bid from an individual. One of those, though, the inspector was sick, so it took 3 business days (and a weekend) to receive an estimate. The company that I chose and impressed me through Angie's (Pop-List Company) was Marty of Advanced Restoration Waterproofing, who responded same day. We also communicated the next day, and he came out the following day. Marty listened to me, and we discussed our immediate needs, not more or less. He spent a lot of time with me. On the third after after contacting Angie's List, he gave me an email proposal, their company pledges, Certificate of Liability, and many references. I called a couple of them. One of them said that two others in his neighborhood used Advanced Restoration and were very happy. Those I called were happy customers. Once I received his proposal, and I had my wits more in line to concentrate on all the information that I had received, I reviewed his proposal later. Marty, Advanced Restoration was so responsive to my questions, as another I was interested in. But, Marty is confident in what his company does, and he recommended I call Mike Bird, the owner, who would explain any questions to me, and for me to go to their website to review photos, etc. OMGosh, they have so many pictures on there, you surely will find all the things you want to see about the job they are going to do for you! I could not find those kinds of pictures on some other companies websites! He priced us on 25 lineal feet of french drain, sump pump (5 year ltd. warranty) with a battery backup, and sump pit basin with up to 15-20 feet discharge piping, etc. Well, after looking at pictures and several questions, he offered to come out again, and we discussed everything in detail and to answers any remaining questions, and discharge options. While we were talking I decided that I needed more lineal feet. Marty revised the proposal, the price was good, I signed a contract and paid deposit to them to do the work. Based on Marty and Advanced Restoration's RESPONSIVENESS and COMMUNICATION, I would give them a Five (5) Star rating.. Well, that is it for this beginning review. I will have to update this review once the project is done."

"I had them put in two exterior sump pumps, because my previous pumps were incorrectly installed. My basement was flooding every time we got rain, and so I had Danny of Reliable Waterproofing rout all of the water into the exterior sump pump, and that solved the problem. I would recommend them very highly, I was very happy with the work. Excellent customer service - they did this work in the fall, and over the winter, the hole had settled. They came back in the Spring and repaired the damage for me."

"Exceptional work! My insurance representative said he was a former plumber and said the work was outstanding."

"I would highly recommend Reliable Waterproofing and will use them again in the future if different cracks arise. They were quick to come out to identify the problem, provide an estimate, and return to finish the project at a reasonable price. I would recommend this company to anyone experiencing water issues around their foundation."
