Preventive Maintenance Service
Thankfully Jon came out and fix my pump issue that I had I appreciate it greatly
Purchased and Installed a Basement Defender System
If I could give more than 5-Stars, I would.
In 2018 we purchased a U.S. Waterproofing sump pump back up system. I believe we paid approximately $2,300, at that time. This week, the system gave out as it kept beeping and the inverter was constantly running. I called U.S. Waterproofing to have a technician come-out to check the system. I was informed, because it was older than 3-years old and out of warranty, U.S. Waterproofing would no longer service the system. What a waste of my money!!
Since we frequently travel, a sump pump back-up system is a necessity. I called Parma-Seal, hoping to get an appointment within a couple days and I was pleasantly surprised to get an appointment for a technician to come to our house within 3-4 hours. As promised, Perma-Seal’s technician, Jeremiah Owens, called and provided an estimated time of arrival, which was 3:00 PM. Promptly at 2:55 PM, Jeremiah was at our door.
Jeremiah immediately identified himself and handed me his business card, which I felt was very professional. We then went downstairs to evaluate our back-up system, which I did not expect Parma-Seal to service. After carefully listening to our situation, Jeremiah provided a couple suggestions for a new back-up system. I did not feel that he was trying to “up sale” me or pressure me into purchasing one of Perma-Seal’s Systems. In fact, he suggested I go with the less expensive system, because it would better meet my needs and requirements. I was impressed when he informed me, the more expensive system would be over-kill. I truly appreciated his honesty. We then sat down as he explained the benefits of the systems and reviewed the breakdown of the cost(s). I felt very comfortable with my purchase, since Jeremiah made sure I understood the technology that was built into the system.
Subsequently, by 4:00 PM, Jeremiah was dismantling U.S. Waterproofing’s useless system and began installing our new Basement Defender. I can’t emphasize enough, the professionalism and care he took with installing the new system. Since we have a smaller Sump Pit, Jeremiah found a way to make all the pumps fit. He took his time and made sure all parts and electrical cords were neatly zip tied, as to not hang in an unsightly manner. We have had several plumbers service the pit, over the years, including U.S. Proofing, and never (and I mean NEVER) has a technician cleaned-up after themselves, like Jeremiah did. The area was spotless, when he was done.
After the installation was completed, Jeremiah was extremely patient, as he guided me through the app. set-up of the system. He made sure I understood all the benefits, ie. Temperature and humidity readings, remote testing and exactly how the system would inform, if it got tripped by an electrical failure or excessive water in the pit.
It was approximately 7:15 PM, when Jeremiah left our house. Not once did he mention anything about the length of time it took or the time of night, on a Friday. Also, Jeremiah was as pleasant when he left, as he was when he introduced himself.
I cannot give Jeremiah sufficient, “KUDOS” for an outstanding job. Not only was he professional in his work responsibilities, but his outstanding personality should be an example to anyone who works in a customer service industry. Parma-Seal should be proud to have such a dedicated and committed representative. He is truly a positive “face” for the company! Thank You, Jeremiah – Ron and Kathy Smith

Basement Waterproofing
Back in July, my house in Chicago was hit with our fourth sewer back. We had two feet of sewer water and lost everything. All the contractors we talked to saw this is likely to happen again. I reached out to Permaseal and was connected to Don B.
We met during my first flood but we couldn’t afford the service at the time. Once we gave them a deposit and secured a date, the rest was seemless. The crew arrived on December 11th were super nice and professional and got the project done two hours earlier than expected.

Excellent workmanship, courteous and knowledgeable workmen. Pedro R., Jose’ and Joey arrived on time, worked efficiently and left the work-site as clean as when they began. I recommend Perma Seal to anyone who needs help with their home repair. Additionally, a “shout-out” to Bob S. (Sales Rep) for his representation and explanation of how Perma Seal can solve my foundation “issues” in a way that was less costly than the competition. They did what they said they would do! Nice to deal with a company that follows-thru with their promises.

Inspection/ Consultation for our Sloping Floors
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
