Took the deposit and the sale man Doug told us that the office will call us for scheduling, they did not call at all, and after that I left three messages, but no responses at all for a week finally got someone on the phone the fourth time and she told me Feb.28 , 2019 is the earliest. So I called Doug, he said he would talk to people in office in person and get back to me, and that was 10 days ago. So he took the deposit and I still did not have in writing of when they can come out. I will post additional comment if I ever hear back from Baker water proofing , meanwhile judge for yourself about my experience

The work done by Forman Tom Hannah and his crew was performed (starting Sept 4) very timely and efficiently while meeting and exceeding my wife and my expectations. The 3 day job turned into 4 days due to some difficult digging conditions outside for the wall anchors and downspout lines, but each day they arrived early morning and worked into the evening to complete the job [and when they would leave for the night, cleaned up very well]. The job was completed right in time as we received around 5 inches of rain in the following 48 hours after completion, so the system installed was immediately put to the test: and everything passed with flying colors! If we could give Bakers an A+ rating...we would have!
Response from Groundworks
"Thank you for sharing this review. We are happy to hear Tom and his crew exceeded your expectations. He and his crew will be recognized at an upcoming meeting."

Installed a interior french drain and cemented over the drain for my washer. Called twice to complain and had to talk to the secretary, since the manager/owner wouldn't talk to me. Denied they did it and ignored me, even though I have water all over my basement floor. Washer and drain worked fine before their "work". Save yourself a lot of money, time and aggravation and stay far away!!!!
Response from Groundworks
"We are sorry to hear about your service experience. Our professionally trained Co-Foreman assessed that this was a plumbing issue, and we're happy to hear that it was an easy fix. Our proven waterproofing system will continue to work properly to keep your basement dry for years to come."

They go working right away and were friendly to my dog. I think the rooms were cleaner when they were done from when they started.

Theron and Brian showed up on time, went over the job with me and got right to work. I came back to the property to check on things around 2 hours later and they were working like horses. About 4 hours later I stopped by again and everything was cleaned up and vacuumed. I told the guys that I was very happy and would definitely use them again. Highly recommend asking for Theron and Brian!!

Our foreman, Rich Rotolo, was very professional and kept us advised of his progress and what was being done during every step of the installation. We received a phone call every morning when they were leaving to come to our house in Gibsonia, PA, and he advised of their arrival time. Rich and his crew stayed and worked until he was satisfied with the progress he made during that day. The job site was cleaned and prepared for the next day's work prior to them leaving for the day and all work was completed in the time frame that was estimated in the contract. We are very pleased with the end results of our basement waterproofing system.
Response from Groundworks
"We strive to provide every customer with the best possible experience. Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback about Rich and his crew!"

I live in Weirton, WV and had a mold problem in my basement as it was too damp. We also needed new sump pumps. Foreman Rich Rotolo was prompt and polite. He answered all our questions. The sump pumps were installed first. The existing holes had to be enlarged before they could be installed. Rich did this and installed the pumps and poured new concrete to complete the job. The area was nice and neat and clean when he was finished. The mold removal also went well. There is no trace of mold left. They recommended a dehumidifier for my basement, which I had Baker's install also. Rich did a great job there too. I am very satisfied with the work and would definitely recommend Baker's Waterproofing (and Rich) to anyone needing these services.
Response from Groundworks
"We were happy to clean off the mold and install our patented waterproofing system in your basement! Thank you for the great feedback on Rich and his crew!"

Our foreman was Rich. He and his crew member did a fantastic job. They were quick and cleaned everything up. He was very professional and friendly, answering my questions and showing me where the leak problem was. I was very happy with the workmanship and the speed that they had everything done by. Thanks Rich and team!

Scott and his team did a great job leveling off the sidewalk and driveway. They filled underneath the concrete with a polymer that boosted the concrete up to level with the other concrete work around it. From estimate to service in less than a month. They were here and gone in about an hour.

It went well. They went a little above and beyond the contract by fixing my plumbing. (The contract says they aren't responsible for plumbing or electrical problems. )

The foreman, Jon Mitchell, and his crew were extremely professional, courteous, helpful and responsive. The basement looks great (with the walls covered in waterproofing material) and, more importantly, there hasn't been any water following a few of the heavy rains we've had since the installation.

"We are happy to hear that the waterproofing system is working as expected! Jon and his crew will be pleased to hear your feedback. Thank you!"

Everything went well. Dave had Bob and Tristan to assist in the installation. They were all very professional. Dave had thing under control and I went off to work. I returned home to see everything had been done to my satisfaction. The area was clean and back to what it looked prior to the installation. I would recommend Baker Waterproofing to anyone needing this or any type of work the Baker Waterproofing provides. Tim Urda Uniontown, PA

The crew that completed a perfect job in just 8 1/2 hours was polite, professional, hard working, and did I say polite? They were all of the above and more. They covered all the floors in my home to eliminate bringing in dirt or tracking cement. They plastic covered all the existing items in our basement to prevent dust or dirt. When they finished the crew left no mess, debris, dirt, etc. The finished cement floor/drainage system exceeded our expectations. Will ALWAYS call on this company/crew if the need arises. Great crew led by a great crew leader, David Cain.

"We are sorry to hear of your concerns. When our Production Manager recently visited your mother's home, he assured you that the wall remains permanently stabilized and has actually improved over time. We look forward to servicing the system in the future to potentially return the wall back to its original position."

Splendidly. The foreman (Jeff) and the other two members of his crew (Steven and Brian) were diligent, conscientious, and pleasant throughout a four-day job. They were knowledgable and went out of their way to do the job efficiently but also properly. We couldn't have asked for a better crew.
