Workers were very punctual, efficient and did work without any issues or problems....
All in all, work was completed as stated in contract....
And customer satisfied....

When the gentleman came out to look at my basement, he did arrive on time as quoted, took background info and then went to look in the basement for the problem. Within minutes he found the problem telling me it was my back patio door leaking not my foundation. I was relieved as I know a foundation repair is expensive! He then began to talk to me about my basement in general and somehow (I honestly do not remember) we got on the topic my lack of sump pump and how my pipes were clogged below the foundation. To make a long story short...he gave me great info on their basement system and when it came to price it all went down hill.
I did not do my research as I had told him, I thought it was a foundation leak and here we were now talking about waterguards and sump pumps! I think it is a fantastic product and do think my basement could benefit but the rest was really shady. he gave me a quoted price and then proceeded to tell me my 15% off coupon was only good if I agreed now (even though the coupon did not state that). I was really considering it and told him I needed time to think about it...he just kept pushing telling me if I dont sign now I will lose the price and his boss may give a discount but it will never be that low again. He even resorted to and quot;callingand quot; his boss, and let me tell you...I should have said something but I let it go at the time...I could see that his phone was lit, as in the selection screen, not on a call (I have the same phone). He never talked to anyone... the whole thing was shady to me...I should be able to get the price without having to sign at that moment. I would stay away from any company who changes the and quot;rulesand quot; of a coupon and then and quot;talksand quot; to their boss trying to pressure you into a sale. I say it again...shady. I am still looking into the product...only with a different company. Shady..shady...shady how they run their business!

the contractors who came were very professional and took in consideration that my husband worked nights and kept the noise level down so that he could rest. They were easy to talk to and did not mind me looking over their shoulders which I tend to do when it comes to anything with our home.

They estimated two days and they brought in two and 1/2 crews and completed the whole job in one day. They were efficient and everyone knew their job well. They cleaned everything up and my basement's humidity was down considerably by the next morning without a dehumidifier. Thanks for a job well done.

I got two quotes and they were pretty close together. In other words, there was no big discrepancy in price. He came in and explained everything that he was going to do. He was real good and real professional. He was a nice gentleman. He came two days after I called and he was right here on time. The only problem was that FEMA did not give us enough money to do the job; it was not nearly enough so I didn't have the work done. I don't know which company I would have used.

From my wife, who was at home the first day: The crew of four showed up around 9:00AM and got to work immediately. After all of the preparation work was done, most of the day consisted of listening to loud jack hammers, which is unavoidable. The crew kept to themselves and the task at hand.

I arrived home at 4:00PM to find the work crew standing in the driveway. Here's what I found:

1. They couldn't finish the job and would return the next day. They found during initial jack-hammering that the foundation was built in a way that the slab floor was 8 inches thick (block on slab construction) instead of the standard 4 inches (typical footer and slab construction). Completely understandable.

2. During their prep work, they removed the utility room sink (which was discussed and understood during the estimate) AND they removed a wall behind the sink that had been built a year earlier to bridge a gap between the sink/plumbing and the concrete block wall (discussed during estimate and understood that they were to go around the wall). Not happy with that.

3. During jack-hammering in the utility room, they accidentally severed the copper oil line that runs from the tank to the furnace. They repaired it with a coupling, but could not get the furnace to start again. I had to call my oil service company to send over a technician. The technician couldn't start the furnace and ended up having to replace the copper line and nozzle. The bill for that was $109.50. After talking with the owner and sending the invoice after the job was done, they paid it in full.

The next day, I became a bit concerned when no one showed up by 10:30AM. So I called the company. Being a Saturday, I got their answering service. I left a message for someone to call back right away (no one did). A two-person crew finally showed up at 11:00 to complete the job. They had truck problems and had to get a different truck.

The crew finished the job around 2:30PM. I did the final inspection and noted my concern on the paperwork about items 2 and 3 above and paid the bill. The crew then left. I was then left to clean up the driveway full of stones and concrete chips, as well as the garage, utility room and family room floors with the same. I wasn't quite expecting that, as I assumed there would be some effort at cleaning up on their part after the job. At a minimum, sweep the driveway of the stones and plastic shavings from the cuttings of the system pipes.

Even with some of the things that happened, I am still giving the company and its product an A overall (if I could give an A- I would) because everything is working exactly as advertised. We have had several rainstorms since installation and the areas of the utility room that always got water when raining are now bone dry. So we are happy. The work crew gets a B because of the clean-up issue and a slight lack of professionalism.

UPDATE (1/18/2012): After getting through the holidays, the owner asked us to get estimates to do the repairs for item 2 above. Those were sent and he agreed to cover all costs. We now feel the job is complete. Everything with the waterproofing system continues to work as expected. Not a drop of water in the house. We can definitely recommend and quot;I'm The Guyand quot; for basement waterproofing.

The company was paid 14 thousand for the work. They excavated half the home and installed six anchor / lifts. Immediately the problems began. Each and every time it rained, water entered the basement all along the foundation that was excavated. I had the company back to review the problem and discuss a solution. All they wanted to do was sell me additional waterproofing services.

I agreed to have them in to preform additional work. The work crew showed up started to work and within 5 minutes stopped, packed up their equipment. They told me with the type of foundation that they could not perform the work.

I had the company return to discuss this problem. They attempted to sell additional services. By this time my confidence in their engineering know how had disappeared. I content that they should have known that lifting a subsurface, slab foundation would result in further damage and water problems.

I hired a second company to excavate the foundation and install a drainage field to correct the water problem. It was discovered that two of the anchor / lifts did not have piping sunk to bedrock. These anchors were merely attached to the foundation.

My recommendation is to avoid this company like the plague.
