After hurricane Irene we got a lot of water in the basement. It went pretty good. They sent a guy out just to give us an estimate. He was much more in depth than some of these other places. They came in with I-pads and fancy tools. He was able to answer all of our questions, there were questions which he didn’t have answers for but he got back to us. Once we settled on a price, which was cheaper than several of these other places, we scheduled the appointment. The guys came, they said it would take four days, it took five, but they were scheduled for five anyway. It was fine. They had three guys come in. It was pretty clean. They were jack-hammering out concrete. They did the best they could. We actually requested that the line be run all the way out to the street. Normally they just kind of have it go out about ten feet out from the house. They special ran a pipe all the way out to the sidewalk and put the water to the street. That was an extra that they did which was good. They were professional and did their thing. At some point we might hook up a dehumidifier, we finished the basement. That was another thing that they offered. That plugs right into the system which works very well also. In the beginning we weren’t really sure if it was working, but we got a lot of heavy rain and it was going off all the time. We haven’t had a drop of water since.

The work looked very strenuous. The team came in and covered my floor. Then they jackhammered all around my basement, cleared out the rubble of the saturated floor by putting it in buckets and carrying them outside to haul it away and put in the system as Mike described. They fit the system in place, stoned it up and then sprayed the floor and swept debris. They installed a sump pump and discharged the water outside by an underground pipe. They also installed a dehumidifier that drains right into the sump lid. The guys concreted back over the system that they had installed, collected trash and left my basement clean and dry.
When Jason and the team came to waterproof my basement water was already on the floor from the rain the day before. They worked quickly to establish drainage to first get the water out of the way. I was lucky enough to see my system being installed and working right away as water poured in from my walls. The whole time I thought they were doing a great job. I was stunned to see it working right in front of my eyes for all of my own attempts to stop the water had failed. It didn’t matter which member I asked when I wanted to know what was going on. They all knew what was going on and seemed to work with each other very well. I even bought the guys lunch. After that, Jason explained the work that would be done outside. I was told the job would take two whole days but these guys worked clean and they worked fast and when they came back for day two they were finished the concrete by noon. The boys didn’t stay for lunch this time. After Jason described the service schedule they were off.
