I had a very unfortunate experience with a misleading sales rep. In December 2022, a sales rep named Ryan came out to my house to show me my options. He suggested that we have a perimeter trench dug around the basement with a well and sump pump. He went over the options with me and told me about the amazing sump pumps that 58 Foundations & Waterproofing has...they are battery back-up in case of a power outage. I was excited about that because it gave me peace of mind. Let me be clear when I say that there was only a SINGLE option presented when it came to the type of sump pump they provided. Ryan gave me the option of a battery back-up and no other options. The install crew comes out, does a fantastic job, and gets it all done in a timely manner. 5 months passes and we have some bad storms rolling in. I wanted to be sure that the sump pump battery was still good, so I open the lid of the well to check on the battery, only to find out that we have a pump without a battery back-up, like I was told by my sales rep we would have. I reach out to the company to see if the battery is hidden inside the pump. After 24 hours, I still haven't heard back from the company, so I reach out to the sales rep directly. He tells me that I didn't purchase the battery back-up pump and that he would be happy to sell me one for an additional $1,500 (I am sure he would be happy to sell me one). I contacted the company to see what resolution we could arrive at. I have basically been told at this point that I did not purchase one even though the sales rep told me I was getting a battery back-up pump. A battery back-up was VERY important to me. The SC manager for 58 Foundations & Waterproofing called me today and offered to sell me one. But I cannot bring myself to pay for something that I was told would be included. She told me that the invoice does not show a line item for the battery back-up and that the invoice only lists "sump pump". But, how was I supposed to know that "sump pump" didn't mean the battery back-up pump that the sales rep told me would be included? How was I supposed to know that there would be a separate line item for "battery"? They have relied on the ignorance of their customers to take advantage. Everyone who gets one of these systems, make sure that you actually get what your sales rep told you...because I did not. And at the end of the day, of course the company has blamed me for the miscommunication. The SC manager told me that there was just a miscommunication and that she was sorry that I did not understand what I was purchasing. In reality, the reason that I did not understand is because I was misled. Until this issue is fixed and a battery back-up is installed free of charge, I will continue fighting this issue.

We had a leak after 18 months. We had a Lifetime Warranty at the time of installation. The company has failed to honor the warranty and does not return emails or phone calls. They have done nothing to resolve the problem. I would not recommend them as they do not back their engineering or workmanship.
Description of Work: We needed our finished basement waterproofed.

They were comparable to the other company that I called. I just don?t think verses what I can it for myself, it?s a little much for both companies. That the quotation process met my needs.

See above for details. They were very responsive and professional. We felt their price was very reasonable and have been very satisfied with their work. We would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: We have used them twice. Our den flooded twice due to heavy rain. It is on a cement slab so B-Dry waterproofed our crawl space and then installed a pipe under our den and a sump pump in our garage. This was 10 years ago or so. Two years ago our garage was flooding so they installed pipe on that side of the house and another sump pump. We have not had any trouble with any of their work.

Description of Work: We do not have the procedure scheduled yet, but expect to within the next few weeks. Paul came out & explained what our foundation needed in simple, easy to understand terms. He was very thorough in his examination of our problem area. We have been pleased so far, hoping that the actual repairs will also go as smoothly.

Description of Work: I have had 2 experiences with Bdry. When I first bought my house about a year ago, I knew there was prior water damage in the basement. I had 3 companies come out to do an estimate. First company quoted for the basement and crawl space. Second said I probably only needed the crawlspace and third was Bdry. They quoted both the basement and crawl space and just the crawl space. They said that the water seemed to be coming in only through the crawl space and that probably doing the whole thing was overkill. Because 2 companies said that, I went with Bdry's quote and just the crawl space. They did a very good job on all except for the vapor barrier they installed in the crawl space. However, when I called and complained about it, they came right back out and did a great job with it. I was pleased. Unfortunately a month ago we had a torrential rain and water started to feed into my basement. I was very upset. Called them after the weekend because the reason I went with them originally was due to their excellent warranty. Well, they didn't warranty my water because it did not come in through the crawl space but under the house through a crack in my foundation which was in a closet under my stairs. There was really no way for them to know that originally but I was upset because I was told that doing the whole space was overkill. Apparently not. Now I have already finished and tiled the whole space so didn't want to have them dig it all up and it would have cost a fortune. I opted to put another sump directly in that closet hoping that it will fix the issue. They were reasonable in their price to install and their guys were polite and neat and cleaned up the area just like they found it. Overall, they are pricier than the competition but I think provide a good product.

The service turned out wonderful. All of it was great. They came and gave me an estimate and then showed up a week later to do the work. They cleaned up their mess and everything was good. They showed up when they said they were coming.
Description of Work: They waterproofed my basement, put in a sump pump and cut the floor up and put in a French drain.

B-Dry did not excellent job of fixing my water-in-the basement problem. They did the work quickly (half a day) and the system works great. ( They used a jack-hammer to make a trench around the wall of my basement, installed gravel and sump pump, then covered up the trench with new concrete.) They were very courteous to deal with and clean-up nicely before they left. I should have had them do the work years ago.
