Description of Work: Excellent service. Done completely in 2 days. Also sprayed for black mold. Great workers. Owner very informative. Since I was recently scammed by an alleged contractor who took a deposit of $2700, I had to go into debt to have this work done. I sent letter to editor of local newspaper published today (Valley News Dispatch, Tarentum PA) re scam and great work done by ARK.

After having a radon remediation system installed, I noticed that my concrete block walls were showing discoloration and dampness. Approximately 7 years ago I had a waterproofing company waterproof my basement by painting the walls and installing a french drain system with sump pump with a lifetime warranty. I called the company only to find that they were out of business. So much for the lifetime warranty! I shopped for a new waterproofer to redo the walls and check the system. After quotes from 3 local companies I chose ARK. They were not the cheapest but they offered the closest solution to the job I required. Another company wanted to install a type of humidifier to exhaust outside. I just had the radon system installed and didn't want two fans running simultaneously. Another company wanted to completely redo the draining system and pump with battery back up. Although it seemed like a great system I didn't want to get into the whole system thing all over again. ARK Basement Services offered the exact solution I wanted. We scheduled a date to have them into the house. I had a doctor appointment at 2 p.m. and wanted them to leave by that time and return in the morning (It was a two day job quote.) The quote included moving furniture ans shelving, waterproofing the walls, installing vents in the concrete blocks and replacing everything. I had the time to move everything myself so their time was shortened quite a bit. Actually, they finished everything by 2 p.m. including a clean out valve, additional french drain in garage, and new pump. There was one problem which they corrected promptly. Some of the paint had dripped off the still damp wall onto the floor. A quality control person checked it over and corrected all of my concerns very promptly. I am grateful for the service and quality. They also include a return each year to check everything. They are a family owned business with brothers, so I don't anticipate them going out of business. Thanks ARK.
Description of Work: Waterproofed walls. Added vents to block walls to facilitate drying, replaced sump pump and added additional french draining in garage.

Worked with Jim. Very professional, very helpful. Worked with me on doing the job right while avoiding over-kill that several of the other contractors were pushing. Came to all appointments as scheduled, called when he was just a few minutes late once. Answered phone and returned calls promptly when he was unavailable. Crews came on time and worked hard through completion. Job went as Jim said and was done on time. I would highly recommend this company to everyone in need of basement waterproofing services.
Description of Work: Installed 80 ft interior french drain and submersible pump and tied it into outside rainwater system. Installed membrane between wall and fllor. Had to jack-hammer out existing concrete and re-concrete basement floor above drain system.

Did what ever they need to do on time. Clean up after work is done. Jim told me they would put the carpet back when the work is done. It gave me the impression that they would re-stretch the carpet. It sounds wonderful for this type of company. What happened at the end is what we can expect: I was told by the workers that they don't do that. I have to leave the area open for at least a week to let the cement dry then find somebody else to do the carpet. If you hear some promise that is too good, be careful. Otherwise the work is fine.

ARK Basement Services Inc. He checked it and gave me some suggestions, so I will get it a couple months before I call them back. From the job in August a year ago the price was a little more expensive than I had anticipated. The one brother came and said he would do the downstairs, and he would have to redo the outside. Then his brother came and said it would have to be a little more money. I wasn't expecting it, but the work had already started so there was nothing I could do about it. They had put a pump in the basement. All in all my experience with them was good. They did a good job. I will still use them.

The folks at ARK Basement were very responsive to my initial contact and the estimate process. Following that, the crew showed up on time and completed the work in half the time originally estimated. The quality of the job was excellent which was extremely pleasing as they also bid nearly $2000 less than another company. Very pleased with the result, would recommend to anyone.

I called them before the end of the third day and told them I wanted to cancel. I was told his brother was out of town and he said he would have him call me and I would get my money back. I am shocked at there unprofessional manner of business.
Description of Work: I put $390 down and signed a contract that said I had three days to cancel and receive a refund if I changed my mind. They cashed my check the same day that I signed the contract and refused to give me my money back. They never even returned my calls.

We have no complaints towards our company and we want to keep it that way. We still will apply her deposit to the job if she goes through with it. Keep in mind on contract it states you must cancel we have no letter or call from her with 3 days. I week later she called. Michael Perry-owner

Highly recommended! The crew ran into some problems, but got the job done very quickly. They're very professional and friendly and left the site as clean as it was before they started the work. I received an estimate from two other companies, Ark beat the prices of the other companies by far. Their work has a lifetime guarantee and it's transferable. They even offer to move all furniture to prevent customer inconvenience. They're a very customer-oriented company.
