Outstanding

During Hurricane Irene we experienced water leaking into our basement through one of the windows. Then a few weeks later noticed the paint in our finished portion of the basement starting to ripple and dampness on the carpet. One of the companies we called for an estimate was TBS Waterproofing. Timmy came out to supply us with an estimate. He arrived on time and walked with us around the basement as we pointed out all of the issues we were finding. He then did his own inspection of the basement and also an inspection of the perimeter of our house. We then went through his proposed solution. The nice thing about Timmy was that he wasn't just a representative for the company who only did estimates as we experienced with other companies. He was going to be at our job and do some of the work which made us feel much more comfortable. First, he explained how he would insulate around the windows with filling in the outside cracks with concrete and from the inside with a waterproof calking type material. Second, we went to the finished side where he was able to confirm water behind the walls with a testing machine. He also showed us under the carpet on the nail strips where mold was beginning to grow. Then we made our way to the existing sump pump which was not currently functioning. The walls surrounding the sump pump he also identified some additional mold growth that was not even identified by our home inspector. The solution was to do mold remediation, a drainage system and new sump pump. The estimate was on target with other estimates but we felt most comfortable with Timmy and his assessment of our situation. On the day of the work there was a team of guys including Timmy working on our basement. The workers were respectful of our house and things. As they took apart the basement more mold was discovered on some of our things and the workers checked with us before throwing anything away. The project is very dusty and dirty which was expected but the team did what they could to contain that to the basement. The work took the full day to complete. A little while after the install we discovered the sump pump was not draining out of the house correctly and was leaking. I called and explained what happened and they sent someone out the next day. They were able to identify the issue and replaced the pipe completely to ensure there was no issues going forward. It has been 6 months now and we have not had any issues. We were very happy with the work provided and have since been able to put our finished basement back together.

Everything has been outstanding. The quality of work and the price, the professionalism of the workers was very good.
