If you need any foundation or waterproofing work, I'd definitely recommend Real Seal.

I regret having to post this because Real Seal has done good work in the past, but unfortunately…read morethis experience was different. I called them about water intrusion into our ground level bedroom. They diagnosed the water issue as two foundation cracks and charged $1,700 for the repair plus a $250 overtime fee. The work was completed and done satisfactorily, but the actual source turned out to be a leaking water heater not the cracks. Yes, the repairs could be considered necessary in the long run, but there was no need to expedite this repair. Their recommendation was an educated guess rather than a proper diagnostic process to ensure the two cracks were the actual source of water intrusion. I was trusting their professional service to provide an accurate diagnostic. When I requested a refund of the overtime fee only (given the cracks were not actively leaking) and a goodwill discount (given the damages I incurred due to time wasted, since this was not actually the problem), they offered to remove a $100 late payment fee I didn't even know existed and a $50 goodwill discount. The offer is something, but it fell short, especially because the director was curt and seemed more interested in closing out the conversation than actually resolving a legitimate complaint. Get a second opinion before agreeing to any foundation work. EDITED IN RESPONSE TO COMPANY DOUBLING DOWN... I appreciate the response but I would like to expand on a few of the comments made. While Saturday was accommodating, it was only necessary due to the incorrect diagnosis. Your team tried to schedule me a week and a half out. I asked if they could do better. Your team then offered Saturday. It wasn't for my convenience, it was a necessity as a result of your diagnosis. My walls were supposedly actively leaking water, of course I wanted this done as soon as possible. If this was correctly diagnosed, I could've had the cracks repaired anytime. Additionally, you specifically told me on the phone, this $250 fee was directly for a technician's overtime, which in your words, "is why you cannot refund it." Not a standard Saturday service fee, as you've now stated publicly. In regards to the $100 late payment fee, while it may be outlined in the contract, a courtesy reminder would have been appropriate given I was not onsite for the repair and never received a final invoice on the day of service. How was I expected to pay within the terms without ever receiving a bill? Your response also confirms my original review. Your diagnosis was based on another company's assessment rather than your own independent verification. A proper diagnostic process would have verified that water was NOT actually entering through the cracks. Yes, the cracks were there, but no, they were not actively leaking. Hence my request to remove the "service fee." I hired you to stop the water intrusion, not simply repair my foundation. The water heater was the actual source.

Petar immediately made me feel confident he was recommending the most effective, cost-efficient solution. You can tell he really knows his stuff. Other companies were pushing more invasive (and much more expensive) options, but Petar kept it straightforward and practical. He completed the repair in under two hours (by himself!) which was genuinely impressive. On top of that, he's just a really kind person. Highly recommend!

I was pleasantly surprised by the time-efficiency and ease of invoice/payment. I've worked with a few contractors since we bought our first home and I can honestly say this business is a gem. I can't recommend Sergiy and his team enough. Thank you again!

But then they said that they never said that our basement would stop flooding after they did work to it. They were extremely aggressive and mean. Not just rude, but actually verbally, aggressive, and on the attack. I am a woman and was at home alone when their service man came out and he was yelling at me and frankly, I was pretty scared and uncomfortable having a grown man that is a stranger yell at me in my house. It was the worst experience I have had in a long time and they have already cost me all of my property tax money that I had to spend fixing the basement . Now I have to sell my house or I'll lose it. I lost so many thousands of dollars because my basement flooded after they told me that it wouldn't anymore. My roommate had had to move out and actually became homeless for a little while and had to live in a homeless shelter because her bedroom was in the basement. Luckily, she finally found a place to live. No help to Everseal. This was the first house I had lived in For more than a couple of years . I've lived here for over 11 years and now I have to move because everseal ripped me off and lied to me. Don't ever use this company. They will lie to you and not tell you everything. they will promise you would dry basement and then tell you that they never promised that and it wasn't their responsibility to make your basement dry. He told me I have water coming in from the sewer and seepage and that he's not gonna help me with either one of them and he's not gonna help me at all. I've never seen a more unprofessional company in my life. I can't believe he started yelling at me. I am a victim of violent crimes so that really scared me extra. Save yourself from the Horrible experience I had with them and go to somebody else. They are nothing but con artists and scammers. They will take many thousands of dollars from you and your basement will still flood.
