Waterproofing
Brian did a great job locating the source of the water leak in the basement.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
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
Basement Wall Sealant
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.
Install a back up sump pump
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.
foundation estimate
In our church building we have been having problems with doors sticking, some to the point of being jammed. I called PermaSeal to find out if the building was having a problem with the slab foundation. John Ferguson came to our building to prepare an estimate. After a walk around the building, John could see that there was nothing wrong with the foundation. However, John proceed to come inside and thoroughly examine the interior. He checked to see that both the floor and walls were plumb. He also gave a couple suggestions on what to do about the doors. John was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly; a pleasure to deal with. There was good news delivered by a man who actually seemed to enjoy his job.
Installed Flood Control System
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.

Foundation / Basement Inspection and Repair Proposals
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.
Basement Waterproofing
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.
Estimate
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.
Estimate on Drain Tile
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.
Perma-Seal Certified Consultant
Our Perma-Seal Certified Consultant Michael Kulis came to access our home basemant’s leak issues today. Michael was highly profesional, extreme knowledgeable and courteous. Michael listen to all of our concerns and then provided the very best in class customer service to address our needs. We are repeat Perma-Seal customers. Several years ago I called on them to fix my parents basemant water leak issues and the company did an OUTSTANDING JOB at my parent’s house. When I discover leaks in my basemant I knew what company to reach out to. That was Perma-Seal. Mike Thank you very much for taking care of our family today. You represent your company very well. We already have recommended you to our friends. Loyal customer.Manny C

Foundation Repair
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.
Assessment of structural foundation and concrete lifting vs remove and replace
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)
estimate to repair cracks in fondation and replace sub pump
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
Sealing of cracks in foundation walls and addition of a second sump pump in crawl space
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.
Foundation Repair
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.
Structural 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.
Outdoor patio repair
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.
Quote for drain tile, foundation repair, and sump pump install
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.

crawl space encapsulation
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.
Crawl space drainage system and installation of new pump
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.

Scheduled routine maintenance call for liners and pumps in both crawlspaces and the replacement filter in dehumidifier.

Sump Pump Replacement
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!
Installed sump pump battery backup and plumbing.
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.
Sump Pump Installation
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.

Sumbpump & battery backup
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..

Perma-Seal representative
Nick D., Perma-Seal Rep, came to my home today to inspect my sump pump system that was causing my yard to flood. He came to my home on time, introduced himself with a smile and took his boots off outside so not to drag dirt through my home. He checked out all the issues, explained what repairs they would do, showed pictures (not drawings) of how the work would be done, explained everything in the contract and set up an appointment including a request to do the work as soon as possible. Thank you, Nick, for spending the time to explain everything. Look forward to working with Perma-Seal!

Poly-Level Concrete raising
This service is highly recommended. We got our concrete patio lifted and we had some questions about the results. They did not hesitate to send someone out to adjust it and make it completely perfect. The crew was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to when figuring out the best approach, and completed the job to our satisfaction like true professionals. In this day and age, customer service is the most valuable commodity, and these guys are cornering the market on it…thanks so much! (Repairs done 8-16-21)
Quote for concrete lifting
Mike Tigges was a pleasure to work with on a quote for raising several sections of the concrete sidewalk leading to our front porch. He arrived exactly on time, took the time to understand what I was trying to do, and he offered several additional helpful suggestions. I signed the contract on the spot which earned a 10% discount. I hope the actual work is as professional as the sales consultant!
Lifted two concrete driveway slabs
My driveway had been sinking very slowly since we moved in 15 yrs ago. I assumed paying a lot of money to have my driveway replaced was the only option, until a neighbor told me about Perma-seal. I was a little skeptical, but his driveway looked great. I got an estimate from Perma-seal and the work was done in Nov 2020. I was home when the work was done and watched the entire process. I was completely impressed with the professionalism, work ethic and friendliness of the Perma-seal team which was led by Xavier Esteban, and was especially impressed with the results. The driveway slabs were 2-3′ below the garage floor and they are now exactly level with the garage floor with a beautiful expansion joint seal. The Perma-seal team could not have done a better job. I asked a TON of questions to understand how it all worked and Xavier and his partner were interested in explaining how everything worked. They really seemed to like what they were doing. They said every job is different and is a challenge. A really excellent job by a great team. I highly recommend Perma-seal.
smoothed poured concrete with sander, removed pieces of flooring to form a level surface to refinish, re-attached outlet from previous work job
Ramon Duron cheerfully repaired my floors to my satisfaction. He is a credit to the Permaseal family!

Concrete Lifting Consultation
Today I received an excellent consultation service from Michael Medrys. He was extremely professional and knowledgable in answering all my questions and concerns regarding the concrete lifting job I’d like to get done. He also provided consultation on other jobs Permaseal does in my basement. Looking forward to making a decision soon and getting the work started.
Waterproofing
My sales representatives John Ferguson was awesome. Very polite, professional and educational on all things concrete! Would highly recommend to any and all customers with basement needs.

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.
System Maintenance
James was right on time, was professional and efficient. he explained what he did and the status of our system.
Annual check up/ maintenance
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
maintenance/repair
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.
Sump pump and track maintenance
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!
Annual maintenance and replacement of broken sump pump cover.
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.
Cleaning the sump pump- removed the foul smell
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.
Preventive Maintenance
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.
Preventive Maintenance
Gene performed my preventative maintenance check and ran into a few spiders/webs who were residing in my crawlspace as well!!

Mr. Laundie did an excellent job servicing our system, explaining thoroughly what was being done and for what reason and was very professional and knowledgeable. It is folks like these that make companies great. Thanks Permaseal
