Get matched with top storm drain installation pros in Drums, PA

"Suddenly, my basement drain was backing up! A friend tried to unclog it, but to know avail. He thought it might have something to do with the sewer line that ran to the street! Right away, I started seeing dollars signs. So, I went on Angie's list and saw the reviews for HL Bowman. Because they were so highly recommended, I went to their website. Immediately, there was a person named Tiera to chat with. I explained my situation and she asked me a few questions. She told me she would have some one call me. I asked if it would be today because there was sitting water in my basement and I was afraid to even flush a toilet! She said it would definitely be today! Within two minutes of concluding the chat, my phone rang. A very courteous person assured me that he could get someone out there today! It was about 8:30 am and he told me that he could have someone by this afternoon and they would call me before they arrived. Around noon, a young man named Clayton called and said he was on his way. When he arrived, he went to basement and checked out the situation. When he came up he said that he thought the clog was in the pipe along the wall going out to the sewer. He brought in a machine and spent approximately and hour and a half trying to open the clog. He then told me that he had called another person from the company to bring a larger machine. Then, Corey showed up with a huge machine and Clayton left to go to another job. Corey was down there for about another hour and half. The machine was much louder than the first one. I was really worried about the cost and the fact that it was taking so long to open. I pictured having to have my lawn torn up and imagining what that would entail, not to mention the cost. Suddenly, he appeared and I tried to prepare for the worst. He looked at me with a smile on his face and said, "it's open". I was so surprised, I am sure he saw the relief on my face. 'He explained that he had to go out 75 feet to the street, and the that the clog was because of tree roots which he grinded through. I knew this machine was probably more expensive to use than the smaller one. So I braced my self and I asked him what the total charge would be! When he told me, I was shocked as that even included the $70 service fee which included up to 45 minutes to diagnose the problem and give me an estimate. But, because Corey had to bring a bigger machine and stay longer than Clayton had estimated, I was sure it was going to be astronomical. Corey said he would figure it out! When he told me the price I could hardly believe my ears. It was half of what I had anticipated! I was thinking about $1,000- $1200! I can't begin to explain how relieved I was.. I would like to say both Clayton and Corey could not have been nicer. Very mannerly, friendly, and polite. When Corey left, everthing was cleaned up! No sewage anywhere. And another thing that I thought was extraordinary, was how unafraid they were of my two pittbulls. They petted them and Corey even told them to stay when they tried to follow him out the door. LOL! And they, listened! I have found my company should I need any future help. It's good to know that there is someone out there who is professional, knowledgeable, and who charges fair prices. It wasn't cheap, but I believe it could have been a lot higher. Family members also thought the price was good. It started out as a bad day, but I had a smile on my face when Corey left!"

"They were very professional and knowledgeable about my issue. My only issue is that they did not allow flexibility in regards to payment. Given the hefty price, I asked for payment installments and was told that was not an option. On another note, work was completed in a timely/efficient manner. I highly recommend this company."

"I'm not fully moved into the home yet, but I will update when I am there permanently. The crew was very professional, worked diligently, cleaned up after every day of work (three day job--french drain expansion, two additional sump pumps installed, window drains into the sump pumps, pretty extensive job)."

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

"Aaron and Brian came out to install dehumidifier. They were completely professional and courteous. They did an excellent job with the installation."

"I decided to work with this company because out of the 4 companies I asked, this one was the only one which told me something about my basement that the others didn't notice. Also they helped me financed the rest of the money and their work is warranty for life. I went down there to see the job after two storms and there's no water leakage or infiltration from the walls."

"Great! I had this work performed in March 2018. Summer 2018 has seen constant rain and flash flooding. Previously I would have had several feet of water in my basement from the saturating rain and storms that came through together (5+inches in 6 hours with 12 inches in 48hrs in already wet ground). Basement has been completely dry. I thought work would be more noticeable. The concrete over the drain is nicely done. No complaints about the work, better results than I expected (I expected it to be more noticeable)."

"Mr. Mac Lean has installed 2 AC/Heat systems at my live in home in the City and a one piece Large AC/Heat unit in the country. The one in the country has not been test hopefully this spring I can send a follow-up. As of know I am happy with the workmenship that has been given Thank you for your time. C. Keller"

"I left a review back in October when I hired them. They now have finished the job. I could not be more pleased. I am overly satisfied with the crew that worked on my basement. Ryan and his guys were courteous and Ryan would brief and debrief me each day and they did not mind if I took a peek. They worked all day into the early evening. I was impressed. Phil gave me an 8-day turnaround and it took 7 and that was only because of my schedule which shortened two of their days and one day due to snow. I did have a couple of minor problems which when I called they were johnny-on-the-spot to come out and fix them. But let me tell you what was done... They trenched the entire perimeter of the basement including a bilco door area and an old dank coal room. (which other companies would not do, or even go into) In addition to the typical waterproofing, I also had them clean and dryloc paint the unfinished walls, again, including the bilco and coal room. I could not be more pleased with the results. The minor problems I spoke of were the dehumidifier leaking, some staples missed, and the chalking they put on the drain pipe came off (too cold to cure I believe). They came out last night and took care of it. The coal room needed more paint due to the excessive moisture in there the paint dripped off the ceiling. I asked Ryan if he could get to it (I was going to let it pass and do it myself) and he said if he had rollers... I had one and he painted the areas needed in the coal room. I am super stoked on these guys. If you need your basement waterproofed, no need to look anywhere but these guys. Super friendly, work with your schedule, great work ethic, and a very reasonable price. Just a note that Phil Sr. is one of the coolest guys you will ever deal with."
