It started off on the first estimate. They did the **well the job is $7500 but if I take this discount and this one $6300** Then he saw I was not moved, came down more. But I did like the detail of the work he was going to do. So fast-forward they sent someone else out, and they were able to match a competitor (after downplaying the competitions professionalism) but ultimately I felt like they were going to do the right job. I wanted to learn about the process, and they were ok with me asking a lot of questions on the day of. Fast-forward to some other stuff I asked them where the peepholes were because they skipped that step. Well the foreman was apparently confused and was not planning on doing it. He thought it was a foundation wall. And apparently did not read the instructions that were given. But ok, he got it done. The finished up and I signed off. But after further inspection I noticed they did not seal off the sump cap and pipe for radon. Well good thing I am somewhat knowledgeable. The gentlemen Scott tried to play it off like it was no big deal that they almost did not form the weep holes. But I was concerned with the work. So he sent someone to properly seal for radon and said he can send someone to show me how they did the weep holes. Well I waited today 12-2pm. No one showed or called. I called at 210 pm and waited almost 10 min. She said she would call me when she heard back. Well 240 they called back saying could be another he or two. I was angry as I waited and lost time at work, and they did not have the courtesy to reach out now the rest of my day was wasted. I called and spoke to Scott who apologized and made excuses. I said I understand things happen but I do not understand why no one bothered to reach out to me. Well I guess he did not like that I dared her, because he seemingly got angry as he explained how his man is working hard and did not eat lunch or anything and has not come up to call. Again I explained I get it but my time is as valuable as his and I lost hours at work waiting and that is not right. Overall, my experience was poor. They claim to be a family run business and that is important to me but it feels like they are too big and too many things fell through the cracks. When they came out to sell me on using them, he kept saying we are top rated on home advisor and on search engines, etc... but not so sure that is true. Or maybe it is because they offer money to give reviews. Either way, I was disappointed with the customer service.

BWS put in a french drain and we are so far very happy with their work and the outcome. Inspector Lloyd was very helpful and responsive and foreman Earl went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and were getting the result we were hoping for. Even after the project was completed, both Lloyd and Earl were very responsive, answering questions and following up. The only hesitation we had was the price, but we felt we d rather go with an established company that is accountable for their work than a private contractor who may be cheaper but unresponsive.

Response from Company:

Miriam, We are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with our family company! Our goal is to treat each and every one of our customers as if they were apart of our family. From our inspection with Lloyd to the install with Earl and team we wanted to keep you in the loop and keep the door of communication open to deliver the best possible customer experience we can. If there is anything you should need in the future, please do not hesitate to call us at 800-700-9171.

The customer service of the office staff is amazing. Scott went above and beyond to ensure that my drainage system was efficient and effective. I am now very pleased and the quality of the work is top notch.

Response from Company:

Theresa, We know that some mistakes occurred during your original install and are thrilled to hear that we were able to turn things around for you. We aim to treat each and every customer as an extension of our own family and made persistent efforts to help you and make sure that we left you with an effective system. If there is ever anything else you should need, please do not hesitate to call us at 800-****

Mac was great coming out and evaluating our basement problem. He offered multiple options for remediation, including pros and cons of each, including costs. Once a plan was agreed upon, the date was quickly scheduled and the crew came out and competed the work quickly, efficiently and carefully! Would recommend highly!

Response from Company:

Vishal, Thank you for your kind words about our family company! We are family owned and operated and treat each and every customer and their home as if they were our own. If there is anything else you should need in the future, please do not hesitate to call us at 800-***!

Unfortunately, I had to lower my rating because water penetrated the basement floor like before. Now, I fear that will be potential flooding in the basement again.

Response from Company:

Yolanda, looking into your file, the pictures you have sent to us and your situation we would like to clear a few things up. From public records your house was built in 1910, so there is no telling when that floor was actually poured, but it appears to be an original pour which is called a *Rat Slab*, which is very thin, and living on top of a dirt bed. What you are seeing is moisture that wicks up from the dirt through the slab, which is why we had recommended a dehumidifier. The waterproofing system that you had installed will relieve any hydrostatic pressure in the basement, which is why you are no longer seeing any puddling, but it can not relieve moisture coming from the slab 2-3 feet away from the system. We suggest that you either have a dehumidifier installed or paint the basement floor so that the moisture issue you are seeing can be resolved. We hope this helps with your issues and any further questions please feel free to call us at 800-XXXX

We were very happy with customer service. They completed the project in one day. They began the project within a week of getting the estimate. They were dry professional and left the area very clean. We highly recommend this company.

Response from Company:

Katy, We would like to thank you for taking the time to post your positive experience with our family company! We treat each home we visit as if it was ours and are thrilled that you were happy with our crew!

Customer service interaction not so great. The project went well and the basement is now clear of mold and is dry and cool. They advised me of a great dehumidifier which works well to keep the area very dry.

Response from Company:

Mary, Thank you for taking the time to post your positive experience. We are thrilled to hear that we have helped solve your issues!

The work was completed in a timely manner, The crews never seemed to stop. This is a crawl space and of course I can't see much of what they did, The forman explained every thing as they went along. I was impressed with the clean up. It was a very dirty job but they did there best to leave everything as they found it. I would certainly recommend them.

Response from Company:

Peggy, Thank you for taking the time to post your positive experience! We treat each and every home we enter as if it was our own!
