About seven years or so we had Ayer come out and remove the old broken clay weeping tile in our…read morebasement and install a new system complete with sump system. They did a nice job no more water in the basement. Hated the little in ground sump discharge tank in the yard...always standing water. We ultimately had a local contractor reroute the sump discharge to the city storm sewer system $$$. It resolved the problem. Ayers at the same time also installed new basement windows (wrong type) but never finished the installation until months later after a lot of calling...in the interim we patched them as best we could, but our basement became a haven for spiders and other insects. The next year at our annual Ayers sump inspection, Zach (Zachart Stout) pointed out the failing of our 80-year-old north basement wall, of which we were already aware of. So, by 2026 after annual inspections by Zach, the wall situation had worsened to the point of needing repair (or take your chances). An Ayers crew came out and installed a series of GeoLock wall anchors to stabilize the wall. Their work was timely, very efficient and left no mess. We probably would have rated Ayers with a 5 if it hadn't been such a poor previous experience with the windows. Thanks, Zach, for your help and advice over the years.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My…read moreinteraction with Mr. Sponge Waterproofing Inc. has been nothing short of satisfactory. Honesty, dependability and quality workmanship are qualities I look for when doing business with companies. Mr. Sponge has met my expectations in those regards. I was first introduced to the company in 2018 when I inquired with them about the sealing of foundation cracks in the basement of a property I owned at the time. I submitted an online request for consultation and within hours I received a response from the owner, Sherrill Dean Teaster. Although my problem did not require Mr. Teaster's services, I was very appreciative of the time he took to provide an informative, detailed explanation of how my problem came about and the steps I could take personally to bring about its resolve. Mr. Teaster's empathy and honesty were admirable and left an everlasting impression on me, which is why I sought his services just recently. I observed Mr. Teaster as he completed my service repair and it is apparent that he is a master of his craft as he performed with the level of care, accuracy and thoroughness you'd expect from a skilled professional. My customer experience with Mr. Sponge has been gratifying and I expect the results of their work to be just as pleasing.

I have had to take care of needed repairs that came to my attention. I had Keith come out in August of 2024 and repaired 3 tie rod leaks. He did a great job. In May of this year I had to have more work done that I wasn't aware of because the leaks only occurred during really heavy rains. This time Dean came out and did a great job. 22 tie rod leaks and 2 cracks were repaired. Dean also gave me recommendations on companies to call for the remaining leak that Dean's company can't handle. Mr. Sponge's scheduler and Dean were able to accommodate my having to care for my Mom and being available to assist with showing Dean what I needed done. Mr. Sponge is a great company.

Update to Complaint/Review HomeSpec Waterproofing and…read moreFoundation Repair I am writing to provide an update regarding my experience with HomeSpec Waterproofing. In 2024 I entered into a contract (which I paid cash for) with HomeSpec to have my basement waterproofed and a sump pump installed. Over the following two years my basement continued to take on water after heavy rainfalls. After multiple visits that yeilded no answers and a periood where communication stalled, I posted a negative review to express my frustration. Shortly after posting, HomeSpec reached out and sent a team back to my home. Thats when management representative Brian stepped in and took full accountability for finding the root cause. He used a practical methods to track the water flow, he placed paper towels around the perimeter to pinpoint the entry point and found it. After the next rain he had his crew to remove the drywall and insulation to expose the hidden leak. Once the leak was identified, the crew repaired the issue. As of 9/2/2026, HomeSpec has restored my basement by installing new insulation, putting up and painting new drywall as replacing my electrical fixtures in the area where there was water damage. While the overall process took a long time and required significant peristance to reach a solution, I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Brian for his professionalism, determination to making things right, Hopefully the issue is now resolved, and I will be monitoring the basement during upcoming rainfalls to ensure the fix remains permanent. I have to give credit where credit is due. Thank You Brian.

High strength epoxy injection was chosen since there had been no water leaks and both inductive and thermal imaging confirmed there was no moisture concern in any of the basement walls. Throughout the entire process HomeSpec were very professional and courteous, from their office staff through to the field technicians. In particular the technicians Mike B. and Michael W. did a great job and worked well as a team. The cracks were repaired proficiently and the work site was well cleaned and all debris removed before departing. Overall 5 stars.
