Ok bud pump the breaks, I'm not looking for a date. I'm attaching a copy of my invoice to put you claims to rest about me not being a client. Just to put the pieces together for you bud, your username for Yelp doesn't have to be your legal name. You did in fact do work at my property and your work did in fact suck, and you were also crappy to work with, fact! I will apologize for name calling. I do not know for a fact that you are a "meth cowboy" but, if I could offer some advice maybe threatening to assault your clients on a public platform (yelp) just might not be the best business strategy. Just a thought, don't shoot the messenger here bud. Anyway, Now that you have your proof that I do exist and I am in fact a victim of you shoddy workmanship, I request that your dirt jockey, shovel pushing ass leaves me alone. God bless! I never responded to Cliffs responses as 5 months went by without him contacting me back. After having to beg him to finish his work the first go through, no chance in hell or high water ( pun intended because that meth cowboy did a piss job and my basement floods when it rains worse then when I hired his incompetent butt). Stay away from this business. Also he's harassing me via Yelp. Go away Cliff!

Damage done.

I feel like my experience was possibly an anomaly. I am updating my previous review because the owner did come out and make a problem right (without calling though so we weren't home and my roommate had to be late to work to allow them in). However, it was kind of a whirlwind experience where I was promised a quick deadline and it was pushed back for quite awhile. It took many months to get back to where I wanted it to be. Because I was desperate to get my tenant back into his space, I accepted the work as it was. To be fair, the business probably would have come back in and jack-hammered back up the floor (I had a nice, smooth, finished cement floor prior to the project and ended up with a gravel-y and uneven floor in its place in many spots), but after multiple weeks of being out of part of my house, I wasn't willing to. Yes, the basement doesn't leak, but there are things about my basement that I am not happy with that you can see in the pictures I've provided. If I didn't have a tenant or didn't work like crazy, I probably would have let them back in to fix up the place, but I just got tired. The owner is communicative and helped as much as he could. Again, I feel like my experience is somewhat an anomaly.

A year later and my crawlspace is still dry. Just recommended this outfit to a guy I work with. If he's smart, he'll hire them.

Cliff arrived wearing camouflage cargo shorts and a tank top, with an entirely different idea: a drain tile.

Be aware: Your estimate may be nowhere near your final cost…read more We purchased a house that had a shop with squirrel burrows under it. I called TerraFirma and a couple other companies to get quotes. RJ arrived and I explained the issue. He took about 45 minutes to inspect and gave me an estimate for under $4,000. I was happy with that, signed the agreement, and cancelled the other companies' visits. A date was scheduled for a month later (just before Christmas). The technician Jeremy arrived on time and prepared. He was easy to get along with. A few hours after he informed me that he finished about 1/3 of the shop and that was all the foam in the estimate. He told me that he could stop or continue, but there is an extra cost. I felt like I really had no other option but continue. Jeremy seemed to empathize with the situation I was in and did what he could to keep the cost down. After all was set and done, my $4,000 estimate had turned into almost $10,000. I was unable to get in touch with RJ to talk about it at the time. He left a voicemail stating he was on vacation, but would elevate it with the team. After the new year I left voicemails with Victoria, the project manager, several times over a week and a half with no return call, even though being told she was in the office. I finally explained my issue with the person who answered the company's main line and that I had left several messages with no response. She advised that she would send an urgent note to Victoria and her boss. The next day I received an email from Victoria simply stating the technician had already given me a break and that I signed the authorization for additional work. I understand overages and that estimates are just a best guess, but my final cost was way over twice the original estimate, my calls were ignored, and the company does not seem to be concerned that my project was $6,000 over the estimate. Needless to say, I will not be doing business with them again.

In 2021, in the middle of the pandemic and while I was pregnant, we had this disastrous mix of an…read moreice storm and then an atmospheric river all in the same month. 2021 feels like a lifetime ago, so I don't remember all of the details, but I do remember it ended with my husband renting a pump from Home Depot or Lowe's and spending hours in water up to his waist, pumping it out of our crawl space. It was a nightmare. We had to file a homeowner's claim not only to replace our sump pump, but also to redo the waterproofing under our house. I remember nothing but us cursing, crying, and tearing our hair out. All I know is our senior foreman was Ramon Morales. Just this week, almost exactly 4 years later, we had another atmospheric river. Our crawl space is dry as can be. We have had no problems since. I still have zero clue what a sump pump is, but I feel confident that you can trust John's Waterproofing to handle your homeowners' claim and get your house back to safety. After so many bad experiences in the Portland metro area, I'm so relieved to be able to recommend John's Waterproofing for the long haul.

While the price did go up once the contractors arrived and did their own inspection (this was…read moreduring an active Portland flood period so leakage was far more noticeable than when sales person inspected), Avori and his team where wonderful! Avori was very proactive in addressing the severeness of our crawlspace leak. The Portland flooding and our non-functioning French drain made it really bad, allowing water to literally flood into our crawlspace! Avori and his team worked through the water and mud, installing new posts and beams, redirecting the water to a newly installed sump pump. The job took much longer than originally anticipated but was done well and our foundation is now much more stable. I really would have given five stars if the original quote caught everything but it wasn't flooding when the sales guy, John, came out so he didn't see the extent of our foundation issues. Avori was able to keep the increase to a minimum and we really appreciated all he did for us.
