    Before

    Maks and his team did a great job rebuilding our fireplace chimney and patching our furnace chimney last month. They arrived early on Tuesday and were totally done by Thursday afternoon. I liked the fact that the owner was on-site and did much of the work himself. Cleanup was excellent and the quality of the masonry looks great. They weren't the cheapest nor the most expensive of the numerous quotes we received, but for the quality work they did I think they were a fine choice for us.

    Mak is such a great guy and goes above an beyond with all work performed. Had Mac and his crew do 3 jobs for me as well as some work for my mother in law. Had his crew pull out old limestone from our patio door and front entryway. Also had my other home prior to sale get masonry work done and was done perfectly. The work on our patio was done very well and stopped a long time leak that would funnel into our basement. Others came out to try to figure the leak and he solved and hit out of the park with the repair. Mak is very detailed in his explanation of work and always has followup with any questions. I highly recommend using Stone and Brick Masonry Group if you want excellent masonry work at a great price.

    Did a great job adding a lentil above my basement window. Was able to come out the next day and was reasonably priced. Will use again.

    Contacted real seal after seeing a YouTube video off them rebuilding a window well that was pretty…read moredamaged. This house in the video could have been my house and it was almost the exact same issues I was having with my window wells. We bought our home about 2 years ago and have had nothing but issues with water in the basement. I mean ponds would form were fish are able to survive that's how much water we would get when it rained. After a really bad rain storm here in bensenville IL we went to the basement to find the walls had become babbling brooks and the basement was a mess. i had no Drains in my wells which caused the water to fill into the well surpassing my window blocks and all the water would flow over the windows into the basement. I called and Paul came out within a day and did a very thorough walk around of the property and gave a very detailed report of my wells and the work the work that needs to be done. He was very upfront with the work and was not pushy or pressing. Everything that needed to be done was in the report but was at my discretion. I have a total of 5 wells. 3 of the wells were actually replaced when I redid my patio and driveway, but still no drains. The other 2 were untouched as not part of the patio/driveway project. These were the wells causing me hell. Paul gave me an estimate for completely rebuilding my 2 wells that need it, along with adding drains in both wells. I also decided to have them service the other 3 wells to where they would clean it up add drainage rock, seal them properly along with adding 1 more drain in the back by the patio. They also installed a lager sump pump to handle the additional water that will now go into the drain from the 3 well drains installed. After getting the quote with the work that needed to be done, it was quite expensive, but was something we needed to do. The Real Seal offers financing which was great and literally took 3 minutes to get approved. Once approved I called and got set up for the project to be done that week. The team came on a friday at 730am. They left around 330pm. Never stopped working. The team was amazing and were very careful when walking in the house, as they needed access to the basement for the well drain pipes. That same night it absolutely poured all night long. Flooding was everywhere, but guess were it wasn't! MY BASEMENT! Two years and thousands of dollars spent at other companies trying to see if we needed cracks fixed in the wall and spending money on fans and shop vacs to clean the water and drainage pumps. It was the 1st time in 2 years I was excited to go down to my basement after a rain storm. Can't thank them enough! ​

    I had a crack in my basement wall that was letting in water every time it rained. I contacted Real…read moreSeal, and from start to finish, they were amazing to work with! The team was professional, explained the whole process clearly, and showed up right on time. They sealed the crack quickly and neatly. If you need any foundation or waterproofing work, I'd definitely recommend Real Seal.

    UPDATE #2: The worker who originally took out the drywall returned to repair the walls where…read moreplaster had cracked. He told me the issue was where the new drywall on the lower half of the wall (from USW) met the old drywall. My understanding was that this border had to be sanded and reinforced and replastered. This was done and the area was cleaned up, which I appreciated. I was able to paint the walls the next day without any further problem. I also received a check from the company which will help in terms of paying a painter to professionally paint the PVC pipe in the bathroom and re-paint the ceiling. This was the most satisfactory solution to the concerns that we had after the work was done. After this I have learned that it's important to ask questions even if you think they are silly questions (for example, "do you know where the stackpipe is?" rather than assuming the workers do), and to request to have the work that is going to be done explained before it is done. On a multipart, multiday project like ours this is especially critical and it can be problematic if different crews cannot knowledably speak about what is going to happen the next day. So one caveat is to discuss that up front with the inspector who comes in to sign off on the plan before work begins. Of course, this would not have necessarily prevented the cracking plaster but that was repaired quickly without any delay. I will see if this can go to 4 stars. I do appreciate the clear desire to rectify the situation and am glad we presumably will not have to worry about water getting in again. UPDATE: Spoke with Chris at USW who was very helpful and who did reach out to me after getting photos/videos from Luke our salesperson. He agreed that the exposed pipe was unfortunate, and that the communication around those plumbing decisions could have been better-- but indicated that there was no other option for situating it. He scheduled someone to come out and re-do the plastering that had cracked. And he offered a check which will be used to cover the paint job on the bathroom pipe. Seems to be the best outcome of the situation. I will further update after the work is done. ************************* USW was recommended by people we trust so we had them come to look over the finished basement that got water during the summer rains. They could not find the source of the leak(s) so we discussed the need for the whole shebang--tiles, plastic insulation, sump pump. We agreed to the work and scheduled it. The stack pipe (which sump pump connects to) location was misidentified as being in the laundry room, which we found out on the first day of work when the guy removing drywall couldn't find it. That resulted in some unnecessary drywall removal but they finally located it in the bathroom. We were informed that the PVC pipe would have to run along the ceiling through the laundry room and then along the bathroom ceiling, visible in both rooms. We said that was ok, assuming that a straight line of pipe would be what was visible and everything else would be hidden behind walls. These workers were strictly drywall and couldn't answer questions about the piping and plumbing beyond that. The next day of work, crews descended into our basement and blocked off the three rooms being worked on with plastic sheeting for installation of all the waterproofing elements and related plumbing. We stayed out of the way since it was a mess. At the end of the day, after the plumbing supervisor (who we didn't see) left after giving his approval, we were shown the work. See pictures. We were so taken aback we didn't know what to say. No one had come up to tell us this installation was going to leave so much exposed pipe. The following day was not a work day so the cement could dry. We decided with two more days of work scheduled that we wanted to know if there were any options for more drywall to be removed and the pipe repositioned behind the bathroom wall. We did not know if there simply had been no other option. I tried calling the office but kept getting the answering machine (tip: Do not choose the "existing work" option when you are prompted--choose the one that makes them think you are interested in a consultation. Those are picked up by humans). I tried contacting our original sales person who was sympathetic and said he would pass the pictures along but ultimately my husband got a call at the end of the day saying there was nothing to be done. After a week passed I began repainting in the room that got the water seepage. I thought this at least would go smoothly, but then plaster that had been applied over the drywall started cracking in numerous spots. Our original USW contact asked for pictures/video which have been supplied and agreed that it looked like "crap." We are waiting to hear about remediation.

I checked the pit they installed and also noticed bubbles. That's when I realized that my washing machine is draining into their pit. I reached out to their warranty dept. several times but haven't heard back from them. Going on a week now. Having a plumber to come out to preform the repair can't wait to find out what they did wrong!
