The 2nd provider that came to do an estimate, asked much more insightful questions and found the source of the leak very quickly. The root issue did not involve any drywall work, at all, and everything was resolved successfully. We agreed on a rate and date for the completion of the job, so I did not go back to American Drain Cleaning & Plumbing. I was also disappointed that this provider spoke negatively about the 2nd provider I had coming to the house, when I told them who it was. I found that to be a bit unprofessional.

I called on a Sunday afternoon after discovering a leak (steady drip) from what I assumed was a first floor pipe as the evidence of it was on the unfinished basement floor. They offered emergency service (read: that day), but I opted to have them come out Monday instead. I was told I'd get a call first thing in the morning to confirm when my plumbers would arrive. The reason for the "B" on responsiveness was that my call didn't actually come until 12, telling me they were on their way over. I had taken the day off, so it wasn't really an issue. However, I was in contacts with other plumbing companies on Sunday, one who DID call me first thing in the morning on Monday, which led to a humorous, little mix up. Again, not a huge deal, but could have proven a little more costly for someone with a tighter schedule. The guys came (a licensed journeyman and what I assume was an apprentice). I showed them where I believed the leak to be as I had already removed the first floor bathroom sink/vanity completely and cut the dry wall open to save time and cost. Unfortunately, the leak wasn't where I thought, but they were able to use the cut I made to find the leak. They gave me the full quote up front, before proceeding. Also, since the leak was technically between the first and second floor bathrooms, they mentioned they may need to get in behind the second floor bathroom wall as well, BUT the price would remain the same either way. Within 2.5 hours, they had the job wrapped. They shut off the main water line, cut out an 8" section around the leaky pipe and soldered in a new section. They made sure to show me their work, were very informative and happy to answer questions, and made sure to test their work and the lines before calling the job finished. They also offered a year warranty on their work and took $50 off for being an Angie's List customer.

After we had the chimney rebuilt and it was still leaking, they agreed a new liner and we felt we should have been warned this was a possibility at the offset so they installed the liner for free.

The owner had promised to give me a warranty on the work and he was going to have his office to write the guarantee for me so if I sold the house it would go to the next owner because I do have a real problematic basement. I never got that from them. When I told them about the second leak, they came right out. I kind of feel as though they should have anticipated what they were looking at the second time around when it was leaking. It's like the wall between the basement and the crawlspace, there's like a 2 1/2 foot wall of concrete. It was jeopardized and has holes in it I guess from erosion. I just think that if they're in that kind of business, they should have anticipated a problem. I don't know if they could have or not. They were very punctual and very responsive.

"Bad Experience. Bait and Switched us. Told us the no more than cost of our removal verbally and then said he needed $4k to do the design with us and get final firm contract after that. I told him I was skeptical giving him $4k and then have him come back with contract stating it would cost a big percent more. He assured me “he is not that kind of guy”. Then after the design and a smaller scope he wanted to charge us 30% more. Took our money and we now have to start over with a new contractor."

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Fairview Village, PA
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
