Did all the normal things to remediate water coming into the basement during extremely heavy rains - graded away from house, downspouts directed past the grade, etc., but would still get intrusion about once a year. Contacted Allstate and Michael came out for an evaluation and quote, as did others. He showed up exactly when he said he would. Their price was right in line with others but the detail and scope they were going to do was much better than the others. Plus they were able to get a crew out a lot sooner than the others - weeks sooner.
Crew also showed up on time and did a great job. Cut into the concrete along the wall then sealed back completely level with concrete floor. Cleaned up everything. The only evidence were about 3 stray dime-sized pieces of concrete I found in the driveway from where they had transferred the debris. That's not a complaint, that's evidence of their thoroughness.
Most importantly however has been the result of the work performed. I've waited to post a review until we've had several periods of extreme, prolonged rain. The basement has been dry, the gravity drain discharge has indicated water has been captured and drained outside, and a portable dehumidifier is now able to keep the humidity levels bone-dry in our unfinished basement.
I'm very pleased with the work performed and overall service but regret not tackling this sooner. read more
