A French drain & sump pump were installed. The installation team great pains to seal off the work area with plastic sheets. When the team left my basement was cleaner than it was before they started.

Serviceable but messy work done by Basement Waterproofing. Gave them the benefit of the doubt but result was not what we expected. I had a drain pipe and a backyard patio installed on Monday by Basement Waterproofing that does not meet the standards that they advertised. I found them on HomeAdvisor. They were listed as 5 stars and whatnot. When I talked to the salesperson, they insisted the company was professional, above grade and the best ;. Nope. He insisted that the job would take 3 days to a week to finish. Which is standard for a job this size. The job was finished fast. Rushed and finished one day. However the quality is shoddy and sloppy. There is no pride in their work and it shows. Its rushed and completely below grade. They showed up and the foreman did not even sit down and go over the plan for the day. Just started working. I literally had to track him down (Tom). And he had to make a run to Home Depot to get pipes for the job (unprepared). He was nice and courteous, but pleasantries aside, Id rather have an angry foreman that knows what they are doing, does things the correct way and has pride for their work. * Our contract stated a broom finish. It does not have a broom finish. Concrete surface is inconsistent. * There is no edging on the sides or contraction joints (lines that separate sections of the concrete). * The concrete areas around the drain are not neat. The bare minimum was done according to contract and it shows that the company is only interested in making money, maximizing profits and not retaining customers. Drainage system works so far. ...But its ugly... There has not been a major rainstorm to really test it. Will update review if it shows that it does not work. Their customer service is abhorrent. I called the office 3 times. Left a message and emailed with no reply from the main office. Just did the job and bolted outta town. Ghosted. No inspection of their own work so that they meet their standards. That not only is a lack of professionalism, but also a lack of integrity and pride in ones work. We all work hard for our money and we all want to hire upstanding people who have the same level of respect for ones career as themselves. This stuff is expensive. 10k for this job. But to have a contractor to do work that they clearly do not care what the final product looks like is an insult to any profession. It should not be up to the client to check to see if a contractor is doing the job correctly. They should do it correctly cuz they care.

Response from Company:

Tam, We would first like to start off by apologizing for negative experience with our family company. This is not the experience we wish any of our customers to have. With that being said, we would like to address some things in your review. Our inspectors typically give a window of time a job can take, but that is not typically exact as they do not know exactly which crew will be sent and how many men work on that crew. The dates are simply estimates to help you plan in case it does take more than one day. As all of our phone calls are recorded, we would like to point out that our Service Assistant first spoke with you on August 15, 2019 when you first called in, took a message for the Service Manager and asked for pictures of the work so that we could get someone out to correct these issues for you as soon as possible. Once we received those, we scheduled you that same day for August 22nd. Unfortunately, the crew who would be returning ran in to some unforeseen circumstances on another job that day and could not make it back out. We rescheduled your appointment as soon as we could. In the end we are happy to hear that we could leave you with a project that met our standards and yours. We apologize that there were a few hiccups, but human error does occur, and we do take our work very serious. We aim to treat each job and home as if that customer was apart of our own family.

Company did great job installing basement drain and sump pump. Needed them to come back after job was done to help put back laundry tub and washer/dryer that were moved to do the job, but no big deal. They will be coming back to install a bilko door. Good company to do business with!

Response from Company:

Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to post your positive experience!!

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
