Replace window well liner and install covers for 3 window wells
Mariano called at 7:30 this morning to inform me of his arrival time. He and Alberto arrived on time and got right to it. They wasted no time removing the old window well liner and immediately began prepping the well for the new one. While Alberto put the finishing touches on the interior of the window well, Mariano measured, then built the new covers for each of 3 window wells. Upon completion, Mariano walked me through what was done and answered any questions I had. Both technicians were very friendly and professional. I had Permaseal waterproof my basement 20+ years ago to my utmost satisfaction and I will continue to trust them with any other projects in the future. I highly recommend them for you.

Install new sump pump and repair basement crack
Manny R. Installed our sump pump and repaired a basement crack. He was very friendly, respectful, informative and professional in every way. Outstanding job, Manny!! Thank you!
Preventative maintenance on 3 sump systems
Kenneth Allan and Rigo serviced 3 of my sump systems. They were professional and efficient, and Allan explained service packages more clearly than I had understood them. My systems were installed at different times during the past few years, and it was good getting an update on what was installed and when, as well as any warranties that are still in effect. Thanks.
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.
Additional work to basement drain tile system – adding a flange solution for iron ochre problems.
About 10 years ago, Perma-Seal put in a basement drain tile system to solve seepage problems, and we had about 9 good years without problems. But then new issues surfaced due to iron ochre clogging up the works. So the Perma-Seal crew came out this past weekend and installed a new flange solution to help keep the system clean and eliminate the resulting seepage that had resurfaced. The team that came out on Saturday morning (Sergio, Alex, Abel) were on time, truly professional, friendly and worked so very hard, while temperatures approached 90 degrees and high humidity. The work was explained well and they were patient with questions. The work was completed within the estimated time and the site cleaned up well. Now we wait for the next big rain events!
Preventative Maintenance
Gene Krukowski came to my home for Preventative Maintenance in June, 2019 and he was friendly, professional, timely and provided to me helpful tips. Because of this Gene deserves the highest rating provided. Thanks again Gene!
Wall Anchors, extension rods and interior crack repair
Austin, who came out and gave me the original evaluation and what needed to be done, and Josue Perfecto Saul, who repaired my structural foundation problem and crack in the basement wall – all were polite, professional, knowledgeable and very considerate of what needed to be done. The problem was taken care of in a timely fashion and they left the work area, inside and out, cleaned up with everything put back to its original place.
Basement Waterproofing
Jack came and was so pleasant and figured out how the water was getting into my home from the outside when he did a water test with the hose. He wrote up a quote on the spot and actually printed out with his custom little printer – very impressed with him !! I highly recommend Pirma seal and you must have Jack
Basement Waterproofing
Allen was my technician for my annual sump pump system preventive maintenance. He took great care to explain the workings of the system and battery backup, and his recommendations. He also inspected both the inside and outside of my home. I felt he was really thorough and knowledgeable about the work he did and I will be happy to have him back. Thank you!
Basement Waterproofing
I called Perma-Seal find out why I had so much seepage in my basement after the snow melted and it rained last week. Jeff K explained why I got water in my basement and offered several solutions to fix the problem.
Basement Waterproofing
Bob was on time arriving at our home. He listened to our issues and gave recommendations for solutions. Walked us through his proposal, asked if we had questions and wrote up the contract. He was very professional and courteous. We would recommend him to friends and neighbors.
Basement Waterproofing
Scott came to our house to explain everything that permaseal is going to do to waterproof our basement. He answered all of the questions that we had and made sure that we were all on the same page with what to expect in the next few months. Very friendly guy, and nice to work with. Thanks, Scott!
Basement Windows Replacement
We needed our single pane basement windows replaced. I scheduled several companies for bids, Perma-Seal had the lowest bid by a few thousand dollars, but the quality of the windows is just as good if not better than the competition. The install was great, no real mess to speak of. The installers took their time and did the job right. I will use Perma-Seal again in the future if needed. Very pleased with the whole experience.
Flood Control System Installation
Perma-Seal completed a couple jobs for me. First, they installed exterior drain tiles to fix a seepage issue. Then, they solved a sewer backup problem by installing a flood control system in my front yard. From the salesman to the plumber to the crew, all are hard working and professional. They even saved me $$ by digging around the sidewalk rather than breaking the concrete which would have cost extra to replace. All in all, these guys are expensive but well worth it.
Basement Waterproofing
We used Perma-Seal Basement Systems. They did a drain pipe in the basement, and they put in a sump pump. They also had to do something to my sewer line, which was a big job, so they had to call a special plumber. The service worked out great. They were great, they were in and out quickly, and they cleaned up.
Drain Tile
They installed drain tiles on the inside of my basement.
Basement Waterproofing
Before Perma-Seal: Every time it rained I’d get water in my basement…more rain, more water. One time when my boys were pushing the water to the sump pump hole they lifted the cover and there was a SNAKE! A couple days later…another snake! That was it. I called Perma-Seal. They came right out and explained everything I needed to fix my problems and gave me a price that really surprised me (pleasantly). They sent their workers out and all their work (and workers) were really great! Now.. no more water, no more snakes, and no more worries when it rains! I can’t say enough good things about Perma-Seal! I only wish I knew about them and how affordable they are when I owned my previous house!
Foundation Repair
Our Perma-Seal consultant was very knowledgeable, courteous, on-time and helpful in determining what caused the leakage in the basement. Seals were done in the foundation in a timely and professional way at a reasonable price. We would highly recommend Perma-Seal to anyone with basement water problems.

Evaluation
Reuben Gonzales came to my home to evaluate the leakage into my basement. He was thorough, unrelenting in his pursuit of the leaks, patient, honest, and was not seeking to sell me an expensive fix. He said that it was cheaper to open the dry wall in a few places to see whether the foundation had cracks rather then digging up a trench 4 feet deep by 20 feet long. I agreed and he opened the wall in two places. I ran the garden hose and he said the leak is above grade and that I DID NOT need a waterproofing company but some one who does masonry work. Perma-seal does not do that work. Other companies wanted $2000 for a membrane plus an additional charge for each crack found. Being so honest, how does Perma-seal stay in business?
Foundation Repair, Drainage System Installed & Upgraded Sump Pump System
I battled leakage from a useless ash pit located next to my basement fireplace for many years. Because it only seemed to cause an issue after ongoing, ground saturating rains I put up with the inconvenience of sucking water out with a shop-vac and dumping it into either the existing sump pit or laundry room sink when it filled up after sucking the water every 10-15 minutes so it would not flood my family room. This happened a couple times a year, but last winter & spring were the final straws. After coming home after a weekend getaway to a completely flooded family room due to a heavy winter rain that seeped down my foundation due to frozen ground, I’d had enough and decided to do something about it as soon as the ground thawed. Unfortunately, a flooding, ongoing rain hit before I made any calls and I spent 48 hours, sucking water out of that ash pit EVERY 5 minutes around the clock…dumping 108, 6 gallon shop-vacs into the sump pit!!! I spoke with several companies but at this point I really wanted the Cadillac of companies and called PermaSeal because I’d heard & read nothing but rave reviews. When Ron Rodriguez came out to assess the issue, he showed me a detailed power point presentation that explained the process and answered all of my questions! He was so personable and professional that it really eased my concerns and I was convinced I had made the right decision. The work crew was also amazing! They were all so pleasant and so consciensus about maintaining the condition of my yard while doing the deep trenching required to repair the issue. They also completed the job in an unbelievable time span. The 8-10 foot deep trench across the front of my house was opened up the first day and when they cleaned things up to leave for the day, I panicked a bit due to a heavy rain forecast for that night! When I talked to the foreman, he said, you are good to go – no worries… Your drainage pipes are installed and connected to your new sump system that’s working just fine! It poured pitch forks & hammer handles that night and although I camped out in the basement to keep an eye on the ash pit, it stayed bone dry…and has been ever since!!! The work was completed by noon the day and my yard was immaculate! I could not recommend PermaSeal’s quality and the people who make up every aspect of their business more highly!
