Customer Reviews and Testimonials

TOM did a professional inspection measuring everything to be done. In a few minutes the proposal was ready. Very helpful explaining every details for rhe job to be done. THANKS VERY MUCH TOM.

Tom is very efficient and nice

Brett arrived on time and sat with me for awhile giving me a history of Permaseal and their success in helping homeowners. We then toured the areas of concern and discussed the history of the home itself. Brett asked multiple questions to get a full understanding of what I was seeking and came up with the perfect solution for my issue. I appreciate his frankness and his visual aids in finding a solution for my problem. I am not a first time user of Permaseal but can tell you with knowledgeable and dedicated ’reps’ like Brett and services/products like no other Permaseal is clearly this homeowners ‘go to’ company.
Keep up the great work!!

Tom was very nice and did a great job!

Tom came to check out our current sump pump situation and presented me with some hood options for upgrading our sump pump situation and giving us more peace of mind about staying flood free in our new home.

Cecil was great! He was friendly and kind. He did an amazing job explaining the process. Thank you

Jim G came to our house to assess the work needed to be done. He was professional and thorough. I especially appreciate him sending me his background information ahead of the appointment which help to put my mind at ease.

Tom Bednar called me one week before, the day before and the morning of the appointment. He was scheduled at 8:00am and he was on time and I appreciated that. He showed me a 20 min video of how to raise the concrete and pour it as well. He also shared the discount price if I accepted today but I mentioned I had a few more estimates to get. Perma-Seal offered a good price for what I need done but I want to do my due diligence and at least 2 more estimates. Tom comes highly recommended. Thanks

Keep up the great work!!

Had work done in 2018. The work was wonderful. I have not had any seepage problems ever since they had done the work. I have scheduled an appointment to have additional work done to my house, because I trust him to give me the best estimate in to him. Peace of mind with their work. Thank you once again, Perma Seal.

Brian did a great job locating the source of the water leak in the basement.

I want to thank the guys who were here on-time and responsive. They arrived and completed the job, cleaned the space and followed-up after the work. We had record rain the following night and I was extremely concerned. I did not get any water in my basement AT ALL! My spouse and I are so happy as it comes with a life-time warranty. I would recommend this company immediately. Great job and keep up the great work.

The team of Perma-Seal employees who oversaw and completed this project were impressive from start to finish. After visiting my home they explained in great detail what had to be done to prevent water and sewer backups from heavy storms. The staff scheduled and kept all appointments needed to plan the actual work, started it on the promised date and finished the many steps involved in the scheduled three days. And the company provides post project services when needed. I look forward to flood free days.

The best!!!
Resolved all issues with creative problem solving. Many years of experience by the gentleman who did the work (Aurilio?) was evident.
Would highly recommend.

My husband and I entered into a contract to purchase a 1922 Chicago bungalow. We and our real estate agent were concerned because we all saw what we thought might be evidence of water seepage, and we did not know if it was present or past. Our home inspector found six foundation cracks in the basement but ultimately did not make much of it and suggested an additional gutter drain spout and grading dirt away from the foundation. We were not comfortable with our inspector’s recommendations and contacted Perma-Seal. The homeowners were very strict about accessing the house. Michael Kulis made sure to accommodate the homeowners’ requirements, arrived on time, and immediately got to work. He was very thorough, as well as being informative throughout. Ultimately Michael found eleven foundation cracks as well as evidence of past water seepage and present infiltration. He prepared three proposals to remedy the problems and, because we intended to live in the house for years to come, we chose the middle proposal to set our minds at ease for the future. We presented a request to the sellers for a credit at closing which would enable us to have Perma-Seal correct the foundation problems after closing, but the sellers refused and we were able to get out of the contract. Thank you, Michael Kulis, for your professionalism and thoroughness. We were able to avoid some real unwanted problems.

The initial quote process was fast, friendly, and painless. As for the work itself, Perma-Seal arrived on time and quickly had the fix in place. I’ve waited over a year to write the review just to make sure, but so far it’s been dry as a bone down there. Upon initial inspection it looks like the previous owner attempted their own fix prior to this, but clearly that didn’t work out too well! My only gripe (minor) is that it took a month between the time I said ‘go’ and their availability to do the work. I guess that speaks to the companies popularity though, and being busy is good for business.

Mr. M. Kulis is very professional. He gave me an honest review of my water problem in my basement. He gave me a number of options to correct my problem. I am very grateful and I feel like I’m a little more educated in how to proceed.

Mike was very knowledgeable and thorough when determining the cause of the water coming I to our basement. He took the time to explain anything I had questions on.

Cecil came out to see us today and was an absolute gem! Our house is sloping/slanted, and we’ve had several people out to look at it. Generally, they’ve all said things like, “you’ve got an old house – they just do this,” or otherwise trying to tell us it’s acceptable or not an issue. Cecil, on the other hand, actually took out some tools and measured! He had a laser level; he called a colleague for a second opinion and explained the process to us if we decide to go forward. More than anything, I trust Cecil. It’s easy enough to find someone who has the ‘technical chops’, but to find someone you trust, that’s quite a bit rarer in my experience.

I would like to recognize the hard work and dedication of Lisa Kapoun and John Ferguson. Their willingness to put in the extra effort to assist with my foundation repair project was unmatched. Lisa had to complete a ton of paperwork to satisfy the lender needs for this real estate deal. John would return phone calls on Sundays, even respond on Father’s Day. John put everyone at ease with his knowledge and easy to understand explanation of the project. Lisa and John gave me as a seller great confidence in PermaSeal. In turn, they gave our buyer an equal amount of confidence in moving forward. I’m convinced the sale of the property would not have happened without Lisa and John at the helm. I am forever grateful to these two PermaSeal employees and will recommend their services to any and all in the future.

Prior to today’s appointment I received a mailing from Perma-seal that provided details of the various issues that a home can experience, some of which I learned listening to Roy Spencer on WGN radio shows. I was sent email reminders of my appt which even included a reminder to ask about current discounts!
Met with Jim Gannon who did a thorough inspection of my home’s foundation and brick issues as well as rerouting gutter drainage. Jim was respectful of my time as a caregiver and provided me with his findings and recommendations, including video examples of the work to make sure all of my questions were answered. I look forward to having the work completed knowing the improvements will only add to the value of my home for years to come. (and provide another 5 stars afterward)

Mike Kulis did a great job in evaluating the issues with the cracks in the foundation. Mike took all the time needed to answer any questions or concerns i had about the repairs. Mike offered his best advise on going forward with the repairs. He gave me a quote that day and we agreed on a price and a start date for the repairs. Mikes knowledge of the service offered by Perma-Seal made the decision easy. Highly recommended

Hugo Morales who is a Perma-Seal crew chief was supersonically competent to accomplish this project. The two man team was exactly on time to start the job and they worked continuously and efficiently. Their work effort was efficient and successful.

I contacted Perma-Seal to quote a foundation repair. Michael Kulis was punctual and very knowledgeable of basement waterproofing and repair. Michael was honest and clearly explained our options in addressing our repairs.I would highly recommend Michael and Perma-Seal for foundation repair.

From the sales consultant, Christopher Brayton, to the work crew, Fidel, Sergio and Isai, our Perma-Seal experience is favorable. We appreciated their courtesy, professionalism, knowledge, expertise and diligence. They made us feel comfortable with this daunting project. They are fine representatives of the Perma-Seal experience.

Xavier and Alex from the Poly department came to my house to repair the cracks to my backyard patio as a result from a poor job done by the first team sent by Permaseal. Xavier and Alex were the second service team that came out to correct the service from the first team that came who were horrible. The first team lifted the foundation and filled the cracks with stone and rubble. It was a disaster. Immediately we called as the job was unacceptable. Months later due to scheduling/weather they sent Xavier and Alex from the Poly department and immediately they resolved the problem. Their work was very smooth and visually appealing. They took their time and ensure accuracy with the visual representation of the job. I highly recommend this team and am so thankful they were sent to rectify the initial problem. Please hire more individuals like Xavier and Alex. They are both a great example for your company.

Mike T. came by and was able to help us book an appointment to fix our wet basement. He was very thorough and had answers to all the questions my wife and I had. I haven’t had the service yet, but based on the company’s reputation and warranty, I feel like I am in good hands.

Our visit with Perma-seal Representative, Cecil was very professional, informative, and helpful in understating how the process works. He is very knowledgeable about the product and addressed concerns of areas required that I did not initially notice as it was not initially visible. Provide quote immediately after measuring, assessing our needs and answered our questions. Great person to work with. Thank you!

My evaluation comes in two parts. First was the visit by Rob Kirincic the Sales Rep. He was courteous, very professional and knowledgeable. He examined the crawl space, explained the process, showed the video and then had to call his boss to validate pricing for the removal of some junk items. Great rep for your company.

On Monday of this week, the team of Daniel, Angel S, and Raul T showed up to start the project. They put down tarps, put on protective clothing and made certain the pathway was clear from the job site to the truck parked in the driveway.. They worked quickly, quietly and very professionally. When finished they cleaned everything, let me examine their work (although I am not qualified to evaluate their work beyond the visual) and then departed. Excellent workmen who are a credit to Perma Seal.

Two gentlemen, Luis and Nick, arrived on time and ready to work. Covered my floor with tarp to protect it as they brought materials in and out. They were both courteous and friendly and let me know it would pretty much be an all day job. Helped move and dispose of a few items left in the crawl. After they had finished, I was asked to check it out. Looked great. Much brighter in there. Very satisfied

Hugo Morales who is a Perma-Seal crew chief was supersonically competent to accomplish this project. The two man team was exactly on time to start the job and they worked continuously and efficiently. Their work effort was efficient and successful.

I got an estimate for a new sump pump system and drain tiles from Mike K. He did a great job explaining everything to me and answering the hundreds of questions I had. He is very knowledgeable about a number of different solutions to keeping our home dry.

Best decision. Professional and pleasant work crew. Had the crawlspace done 30 years ago but what Perma-Seal did last month correctly solved the moisture issues. Perma-Seal is so worth the investment, great resale value.

Pedro and his crew were extremely professional, courteous, punctual and did a wonderful job from start to finish. Took care to protect inside area to prevent damage to floors and surrounding areas while removing and replacing dirt and other materials. Left the areas inside and outside patio free of debris. Definitely will recommend Permaseal and their employees to friends and neighbors.

Jason came out and provided me some great options for my crawlspace as well as adding a back up system.

Jason answered all questions. Thanks!

Jason from Perma Seal did a great job to identify crawl space issues.

Tom came to check out our current sump pump situation and presented me with some hood options for upgrading our sump pump situation and giving us more peace of mind about staying flood free in our new home.

Nick provided comprehensive background about how a back up sump pump would meet our needs. Ramon installed the back up sump pump. He kept me informed about what he would do, how the system works, and advised me well on what next steps to take for setting up the Basement Defender. Overall, they both provided a great service.

The team of Perma-Seal employees who oversaw and completed this project were impressive from start to finish. After visiting my home they explained in great detail what had to be done to prevent water and sewer backups from heavy storms. The staff scheduled and kept all appointments needed to plan the actual work, started it on the promised date and finished the many steps involved in the scheduled three days.

Nick Dormitorio is excellent to work with. Nick took his time and addressed my needs for my sump pump, regarding my house, 3rd time using Permaseal. 5 stars!

On Aug 3,2022, had the sump pump installed along with all the plumbing. I talked to Lisa to confirm everything. The job turned out so great! The crew did a excellent job especially refinishing the concrete. Everyone I talked to was helpful and took time to answer all questions.

I contacted Perma-Seal to evaluate my existing sump pump. Robert came out and was professional, punctual and educating. I had several questions for Robert throughout the evaluation and he took the time to show me what was causing my sump pump issues and how Perma-Seal could fix my problem. He provided several options and allowed for me to choose which one was best. Unlike other contractors, Robert was not a pushy salesman. He is a genuine professional who puts more emphasis on solving his customer's problems than trying to make a quick sale. About a week after the evaluation, a technician came out to my home and replaced my existing sump pump with a new primary and battery backup pump. The technician also addressed my concerns of a loud noise coming from the discharge pipe rubbing against the underside of my floor joists. The technician installed bumpers and padding along the underside of my floor joists to reduce the vibration and noise. This was not within the scope of work; however, the technician wanted to make sure the job was done right and left me a satisfied customer. My pumps were installed in January 2012 and they have been working great. Based on my experience with Perma-Seal, I have referred them to two of my friends and had additional work performed this year by them at my home.

Perma Seal technician(Daniel Biker) called before hand and said he was on his way. Arrived on time, was polite, cordial and answered my questions.. Tested old pump, needed new, flushed and stated new pump was installed and working great. Replaced the new pump & battery backup in timely manner and same day, no waiting.. would recommend Perma Seal.. May be a little pricier than some other companies but they know what they are doing and do it well.. My old pump was from Perma Seal and lasted almost 20 years..

I got an estimate for a new sump pump system and drain tiles from Mike K. He did a great job explaining everything to me and answering the hundreds of questions I had. He is very knowledgeable about a number of different solutions to keeping our home dry.

Cecil came out and provided us with a plan and explained how the process worked. Excellent service provided by him and would recommend him and Permaseal to others.

Cecil was very personable and knowledgeable! He sis a great job and I am a customer now!

Cecil Payne did an excellent job in reviewing and explaining our concrete leveling issues. Cecil satisfactorily answered all of our questions in a professional and courteous manner. As a result, we plan to award this work to Perma-Seal.

Tom came to check out our current sump pump situation and presented me with some hood options for upgrading our sump pump situation and giving us more peace of mind about staying flood free in our new home.

Tom was very professional, knowledgeable and thorough.

James is an excellent technician. He was prompt and did a full review of my system. I was totally satisfied with his analysis. He was polite and personable. Thank you so much. I have used perma seal for many years and have always had positive results.

James was right on time, was professional and efficient. he explained what he did and the status of our system.

Keegan King came over to check our sump system and review overall structural conditions. He did a great job and was thorough with his evaluation. He also tolerated my dogs’ constant barking. I appreciate that I am informed of service product offerings and improvements, but never feel pushed into purchasing right at the moment. Keegan took the time to show a video of how one of their products worked so I could make an informed decision. I feel that Permaseal is always upfront and transparent with cost, value, and efficiency. It’s nice to know how investing in products can save energy costs or create a healthier environment. Good customer service can be hard to find, but not with Permaseal.Much thanks!Julie

I have had a lot of work done by Perma Seal and have always been satified until a recent phone conversation with a customer service rep left me uneasy and unhappy. However I would like to compliment Jaime, the worker who came out to inspect and repair my cracks. Because of my unhappy phone experience to access services, Jaime started with a hesitant, less trusting customer. His calm demeanor, willingness to listen, and service was greatly appreciated and helped to restore my trust in your company.

Gene came and knew just what the problem was. He worked hard to clean the tracks and replace the sump pump. I’ll always request him because he has a sincere work ethic you dont see much anymore. Thank you Gene!

This was a follow up device call to correct an earlier oversight. We also added replacement of the cover.Doug’s call to advise timing of his visit was as promised. He was not aware of the replacement cover need but went the extra mile to get it done. He also put everything back in place and insured there were no leaks. Outstanding detail to everything – we’ll be requesting him to return whenever we need service.

Thanking Gene for the recent maintenance with our Perma Seal-there has been a foul smell coming from the pump area and he had cleaned it thorouhly and was like a freshly chlorined basement we have now -and gave us information on how to keep it smelling good all the time.

Gene completed a thorough inspection and explained in detail as to what was completed as part of the inspection. He was professional and followed Covid protocols and wore a mask.
