Get matched with top foundation drain installation pros in Coplay, PA

"They installed three underpins to fix a porch foundation."

"We had a great experience with this company! Very professional and polite. They waterproofed our foundation quickly and efficiently. They really know what they are doing! Highly recommend!"

"We started having issues with our foundation settling. We searched on line for foundation repair companies in our area. We decided to get 3 estimates. Because of their great reviews we called AFS first. Robert Stringfield showed up to explain our issues and gave us an estimate for the job needed. First of all Robert was very polite, professional and knowledgeable about foundation repair. He spent a great deal of time measuring and surveying the issues, causing our foundation to settle. He also found some mold that we were unaware of. He also observed some large cracks in our concrete driveway. After he completed his through inspection, he proceeded to show us the problems we were having by using pictures on his laptop. He then went into great detail explaining how AFS would take care of all of our issues, foundation, mold and driveway. He presented three options that we could choose from. 1. support to stabilize foundation. 2. support to stabilize foundation and install drain system with sump pump. 3. support to stabilize foundation and install drain system with sump pump and totally encapsulate the crawlspace. We chose the third option and decided to have our driveway repaired. AFS does offer low cost financing and a discount for package deals. Also included is a life time warranty, that covers a parts and labor, that is transferable should you sell your house. We also got estimates from RamJack and American Foundation Repair, but because of Robert and the great reviews AFS had, we chose them to do our job. The workers showed up on time and completed our job in five days. Everybody we dealt with at AFS was great! We would highly recommend AFS to get your job done. It was a very expensive job, but gave us the security of knowing it was done right. A rule I have learned over the years: Good work is not cheap. Cheap work is not good."

"When we purchased our home a year and half ago, the crawl space in our home was in pretty bad shape. It was poorly insulated, was retaining higher humidity and full of debris from the previous owner. As the following year progressed, we started getting a little water from time to time due to heavy rains. During this time my wife and I realized it was time to do something about it. Last October 2021, I started getting quotes from various local basement contractors, Basement Guru's was one of them. When I called Basement Guru's, they responded quickly and were able to set up a consultation in a matter of days. Dan Kelly (Proprietor) came out to my home and conducted a vigorous evaluation of my crawlspace. While interacting with Dan, he took the time to really explain the situation in my crawlspace and together we created a plan of action that I felt comfortable with. Additionally, Dan was extremely competitive in his pricing when compared to other quotes. Within a couple of days, my wife and I agreed to the terms and went forward with Basement Guru's. Due to high demand, Dan's team started about a month later but they were swift and had the job done in only two days. I was extremely impressed with how fast Basement Guru's worked and attacked the project. In the end, we had all debris removed, a French Drain installed, Sum Pump, sprayed our floor joists with an anti-microbial, insulation installed between the floor joists, rebuilt a wall dividing a room, Regrouted, Parged foundation pillars, installed a vapor barrier and roughcasted my stone foundation walls. Additionally, we had a dehumidifier installed. As of February 2022, our crawlspace has been dry and maintaining good humidity levels. In the end, the only negative we had during the project was was a small clean up issue. After addressing this problem with Dan, he was quick to respond and compensated the clean up costs. I would highly recommend Basement Guru’s for all your basement and crawl space needs!"

"Drytech contacted me about my inquiry for a drain system in my driveway. We set up a date and time. The company called the day before â to confirm the time. The representative arrived on time. We discussed the issues w/ my driveway, and my concerns. After discussions he told me that I probably did not need a drain system. While he did not complete any work for based (because of his honesty) I was impressed with his questions, the time he spent with me and how pleasant he was. He left me his card and informed me what issues to look for."

"My basement was getting wet every time it rained.. I called and was able to have an inspector come out right away for a free estimate. Everyone was so nice and very professional. I now have a dry basement! I would highly recommend them if you are in need of any waterproofing or foundation services!"

"I'm retired and needed to move my disabled son and his wife into our basement to save costs. I went out to get bids in Sept. 2014 with the goal to have the 2 rooms and bathroom finished by year end. My son's apartment lease was up at the end of January 2015 and this timing would allow me one month to do the painting myself and move their things at a leisurely pace into the basement. I received 3 bids for almost the exact same price, all assuring me they could meet the end of year schedule. IPS (Fred Castro) had the best design (better materials and moving of existing plumbing to allow a nice uninterrupted ceiling). I discussed reducing the IPS price but Fred refused, saying he prided his work and wanted to do a good job. Since IPS had a better design at the same price and schedule as the other contractors, I awarded the project to Fred on Sept 15. A Dec 1 start date was in the contract and a finish date of Dec 31. Fred started the first week of December. On Dec 7, Fred adjusted his estimate to add a little to the material costs but also extended the finish date to Jan 23. This left me with only 1 week to paint and move my son in but I felt I could handle that. On Dec 21, Fred adjusted his estimate again to add a little more to the material costs and include the cost for the replacement of an existing drain line that was in bad shape. The schedule was not changed and I agreed to the change. Fred did not finish by Jan 31, so I had to move my son and his wife into a spare bedroom and put all their belongings into our garage. In early February, I asked Fred to do the painting since I would be slow doing it and I wanted to move my son ASAP. On Feb 11, Fred notified me that I would be charged $1500 for the painting. I was surprised by this since the only reason I was having him do the painting was because he did not meet the schedule but I figured we would work it out when he was done. Fred took 7 more weeks to finish the job. The final bill from IPS revealed an addition 14% increase in costs from the last estimate. Overall, excluding the $1800 for the drain line addition, this project escalated 21% in costs and the schedule went from 1 month to 4 months. Upon negotiation, Fred agreed to reduce the bill by 10. Fred did excellent work and the basement is beautiful. Fred did not take shortcuts or perform work-arounds as the other two contractors had planned and that was the reason I selected IPS. In my opinion, the 10% cost reduction is not adequate for the significant delay in the schedule and hardship this meant for my family. The delay is significant enough that I believe Fred never expected to meet the schedule and had hoped his excellent work would appease me. Fred did ask me why we were being so nice during the construction if we were upset and frankly I was surprised that he felt the schedule was not an issue. Fred was very prersonable, responsive, considerate and pleasant during the construction so I felt the final price negotiation would go well. However, Fred focused on all the good work he did and would not discuss the original estimate and schedule, essentially telling me that the schedule is unimportant as long as the work is high quality. I feel a 20-25% cost reduction is more in line with a schedule that went from 1 month to 4 months. Bottom line to me: Fred did excellent work, his cost estimating could have been a little better but his schedule estimating was either terrible or misleading. I would recommend Fred from 1) quick jobs or 2) larger jobs when scheduling is not an issue.

"My wife and I just had Oakland give us a quote, plan and then install, pour, a 8.5 cubic yard patio after removing the trex deck that it was time to retire around our inground pool. After removal of the deck it was discovered that there was electrical work that needed to be rerun to our pool pump house and a Jacuzzi we were replacing. This they had no problem incorporating into the job without batting an eye. Communication was good. And from the plan, to scheduling, to actually accomplishing the task, considering the bad weather we were having, everything was done professionally, and on time in spite of whatever obstacles were thrown in the way. The crew was professional and courteous, and went out of their way to protect all that was necessary around what they were doing. They went out of their way to meticulously clean up the job and ensure everything was to our complete satisfaction before calling it done. All was done in a timely manner in spite of the atrocious weather they had to work around and through in getting it finished. My wife and I could not be happier with the job, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have concrete work done for any reason."
