Jon came by, was very polite, and gave an honest assessment of the situation. He indicated that none of the issues were urgent but did show me what to look for going forward along with a thorough explanation of how they would remedy sagging columns, failing girder, etc. This was accompanied by a writeup and plan picture. I would be confident in hiring SafeBasements if we need to get this work done in the future.

We had an excellent experience with Jesse Trebil Foundation Systems in 2013/2014. They installed…read morewall anchors on the wall of our unfinished basement to correct a bowing wall with cracks. They also installed a drain tile/sump pump system around the perimeter of the basement to correct a chronic wet basement. They also removed/closed off our old well room and two old basement windows with cement block. From the time Shane came to our house for the estimate for the work to the end of the entire process, we were extremely satisfied and happy with their service and work. They were courteous, professional, hard-working, and clean. It has been about two years since we had our work done, and our basement is still dry and looking better than ever. I would recommend Jesse Trebil Foundation Systems to anyone who is looking for quality repair to a bad foundation.

After they were called twice they finally told us we had a leaking pipe. In addition, an employee stole a cellphone and a FIT BIT watch from our home and damaged our egress window. They fixed the egress window. The owner was not very pleasant, made us feel like we were not telling the truth. My husband literally spent hours changing passwords and canceling credit cards since the cellphone contained sensitive information. A few days later through Google find my device we pinned the cellphone at this business location, we called the police and had to take time away from our work to retrieve our phone. We never retreived our FITBIT watch. It was a nightmare! The company apologized but the damage was done!! The job itself was OK.. our sump pump has not been running at all .. probably because we never needed the drain tile in the first place. Be on alert when you have strangers coming in your house!! Apologies are not good enough after what this company put us through!!

We have had a little water come into an unfinished part of our basement after every rainstorm since…read morewe moved in (almost a decade ago) and it's clear it had gone on for a long time before that. Obviously, it's something we want to fix. In 2023, we sought a quote from another company, Innovative Basement Authority (oh yiss we naming names). They sent a man out after a month, and with a week of preparatory emails insisting that all decisionmakers be present for the appointment and that it would take no less than 90 minutes. Their man went down in our basement for nearly an hour with a laser to take measurements by himself, then came back up and told us the bad news: it was a serious problem, it would cost $16,000 to install a complicated drainage system to resolve, there were no cheaper options that would solve the problem, if we didn't fix it soon it could cause serious foundation damage and maybe cost twice that much, but thank God he was able to offer us a series of (complicated) discounts and financing down to $11,000 as long as we signed immediately. We were only seeking a quote, as we had been clear about from the start, but the Innovative salesman was very aggressive and refused to take "maybe" for an answer. My wife was so upset by the very unpleasant experience that she refused to even consider getting another quote -- even from another company -- for several years, while I dealt with Innovative's continuing email and phone campaign ("special financing offer!") for the next six months. I was still worried about what the Innovative man said about the problem potentially getting much worse (and more expensive) in the near future, so, this year, I finally prevailed on my wife to let me get another quote, on condition that she be allowed to be at least ten miles away from the house at the time. I called Standard Water on a Wednesday. Without further ado, their man Todd was at our door the following Monday, and we almost got a Friday appointment. Todd, too, headed down the basement with a laser, but the contrast was like night and day. He didn't kick me out to take his measurements by himself, but had a conversation with me about the space, when it was built, and my concerns, then started explaining everything he was seeing. I am very dumb about homes (my talents lie elsewhere), and he was happy to explain... well, a very great deal about my own home to me, pointing out how the basement had likely developed over time, where the owners had punched a hole in the original foundation, and where the water was going. He made some suggestions about things I might do to mitigate the problem in the near-term, gently shot down some ignorant suggestions of my own, and advised me on how to prepare the space for full treatment (by Standard Water, of course) on my own time, saving me money. Todd also told me honestly that, no, my house was not going to fall over because of this isolated seepage, and that it poses no imminent threat to the rest of the house. Then he explained how Standard's solution would interact with our existing sump system, why it would greatly improve our existing radon system, and gave a couple different ideas for how he would suggest arranging things if we went ahead with the project, taking laser measurements as we talked. His quote: $5800, with a "June discount" down to $5500 if we made a decision in the next week (not on the spot). No pressure tactics, no nonsense, just a good conversation about the job and the bottom line. He was in and out in 30 minutes, not 90. One follow-up email thanked us for the opportunity to come into our home, and we've heard nothing since -- and with every day of silence that passes, Standard rises in my esteem. Partly as a result of Todd's honest answers to my questions (but mostly because, unrelatedly, our car got totaled and we need to replace it, so there goes all our money), we are not going forward with the project this year. However, we are eventually going to solve this water thing. When we do, there is no doubt in my mind we'll be calling Standard and nobody else. In the meantime, a nice review seemed like the least I could do in exchange for a lot of valuable information and even more valuable peace of mind.

We got several quotes and ultimately chose American Waterworks based on a recommendation from a family friend. Their estimate was in line with others we received who also offered transferrable lifetime warranties. I wish I'd gone with another company. First hiccup was that they didn't bring anywhere near enough pipe to move the discharge line to the location we had discussed. A phone call to the sales rep resolved that the day the work was being done. Second hiccup we discovered was that they had cut stair supports from our basement floor, left them dangling from the stairs, and put in an access point for the system under the stairs so we couldn't rebuild the supports ourselves. Kenny came out and did rebuild the cut part of the supports and moved the access point. Third hiccup was that they had left our old discharge pipe connected through the house, even though they'd cracked it, so water was leaking immediately outside the house. Kenny also fixed this. Fourth hiccup... they're coming for the annual maintenance check next month and we've just turned on our sprinklers, only to discover that they severed our irrigation line. Based on the fact that they buried the discharge line right on top of it, there's no way they didn't know they'd cut it. We cannot fix this ourselves as we can't access the entirety of the damage with their discharge line being where it is. No one works on the weekends to report the issue so I left two voicemails on Saturday. The first when I suspected they'd damaged the line and the second after I dug to investigate. I'll update my review when they've fixed the damage they caused. We're hoping for a timely repair as the city is digging up our boulevard this week and we can't locate the final sprinkler head due to the lack of water pressure in our sprinkler line.
