Our home was built in '94 - Eighteen 94, that is, located in a former flood plain for a river…read more While the land has been filled, the river still flows underground - and seemingly right through our cellar - especially during the wet seasons (spring thaw, Summer hurricanes). The cellar was original to the house: packed dirt floor, fieldstone walls, with the resulting dampness causing corrosion in our heating systems and hot water heaters - drastically shortening their lifespans. We researched multiple waterproofing companies, collecting bids from all. Keller Waterproofing was able to provide a complete solution by installing a gravity-fed French drain in the perimeter of the cellar which directed the ground water to a sump pump that connected to a dry well in the back yard. (In our area it is illegal to pump the water into the public sewer system, since this can work as a 2-way street - allowing raw sewage to back up into the home.) Cement was poured for the walls and floor, and a PVC 'skin' was attached to the walls to further waterproof the cellar. This solution alone was awesome - but wait, there's more! To re-direct the rainwater from the downspouts of a closely neighboring house, Keller Waterproofing poured a berm along our property line as a foundation for our chain-link fence. We also excavated 4 catch basins with French drains under our walkway that fed into the same dry well in the back yard. To top it off, they laid a brick path from our front gate to the back yard that is the talk of the neighborhood. We are now referred to as 'the house with the beautiful brickwork' ....instead of the house with the flooded cellar. We are more than pleased with the work done by Keller Waterproofing. Mr. Keller and his Crew are knowledgeable, professional, skilled - and courteous (the neighbors still talk to us!). They cleaned up all the debris at the jobsite at the end of every day and upon completion of the job (which was prodigious!) ...and Mr. Keller, we have already thought up a few more projects for you and your Team - we'll be in touch!

We live at the top of a hill, and we've all heard water runs downhill so we shouldn't have a leaky…read morebasement problem, right? Ha! After watching the (ground level) window well in my front yard fill entirely with water one incredibly rainy day about three years ago when I happened to be in the "cellar," and then let go with all of the water seeping around the frame and down my wall... well I finally understood that damp & musty smell my basement always had. Btw, the spot is not directly under the window but off to the side which is why I always thought water was seeping in through the foundation on the side wall where the stain mostly is (water does move downhill haha). Pioneer Basement responded quickly, gave me several options and quotes, and made financing easy. We decided about two years ago to waterproof only part of the basement since that's the area that is usually damp. We also went with the thermal vapor wrap on that part of the wall, and added the dehumidifier which was optional but recommended. Completely solved our problem - and ended the musty scary haunted basement stink entirely. Fast forward to now. I'm again randomly in the basement (for an internet wiring issue) and notice the absolute faintest but-still-I'm-not-imagining-it damp smell. Yup, after another of the crazy rains we've had this year, and... not at a wall but once again about a foot away from another ground level basement window, a small puddle. Of course, it's at a spot without the drain, sump pump, vapor wrap we'd invested in for part of the basement. Once again, Pioneer Basement sent an estimator over within a day or two - polite, knowledgeable, and quick to deliver multiple quotes (finish the full perimeter, do a smaller portion, consider adding window enclosures to tie into the drainage system...) and financing options. This is a company that delivers a high quality critical product, with a great warranty, at a fair and equitable price. They offer exceptional customer service. Your basement will thank you for having them do your waterproofing. And you'll never need to be scared of opening that cellar door again.

Gut feeling told me not to trust their work at that point. The company being too cheap to pay the transaction fee to refund the card they charged for the deposit, instead they issued a refund check needing to be cashed at their specific bank. Absolute refusal to refund the card we paid the deposit with. We cashed the check same day, questioning whether the company had even enough cash on hand to refund us (not a joke). Instead of apologizing for the whole miserable ordeal as business and customer service etiquette would dictate, instead they demeaned us for becoming upset over some really seriously bad bad bad customer service.
