Manny came by yesterday to put in the electric for the outside pump for the flood control system. He explained what he was doing, where the conduit was being run. Did an excellent job.

Joe Semany was very interesting and pleasant to speak with. He listened to what I said about issues and agreed that some things would need to be done. But he also was very attentive of the projects and explained how things are remedied and could understand them clearly. Good man!
Preventive Maintenance Service
Austin was amazing. He did a completely thorough inspection of my existing system that was installed last year. He had quick solution to my Wi-Fi issues to communicate with the pump properly. He inspected around the house for any cracks in the foundation or any other issues. He even gave me some tips on how to use the basement Defender app more effectively. He answered my many questions and addressed my concerns regarding an older ejector pump. After explaining all of my options, and explaining in detail, how much everything would cost. I’m happy to say I now have the annual service plan and my new ejector pump is coming next week. I never felt any pressure or rush in making a decision. I have always had a good experience with Perma Seal and this was no exception. I was very grateful for Austin‘s expertise and patience as he explained everything to me. He arranged everything for the installation of the new ejector pump and let me know with whom I will be dealing with for that installation install. I would have no hesitation about recommending Perma Seal to anyone needing the many services you have to offer. Thank you!

Basement Defender installation
Mariano M. did an excellent job installing my Basement Defender. He was very friendly and professional. Mariano’s knowledge of the product was good and he explained everything to me well. Though I didn’t interact much with Salvador C. I noticed he did good work as well. He cleaned up the work site beyond my expectations. The entire installation went smoothly and because of these two individuals I would definitely recommend Perma-Seal.

Estimate after water in basement
Gary was very thorough and efficient. Honestly told me what he thought happened and put no pressure on me to make a decision or try to sell me anything I didn’t need. I didn’t end up needing any repairs but I will definitely call Permaseal if we get water again. Plus he was great with the dogs.

Just want to complement your employee Mariano Mavro on an excellent job he did on replacing the window cover. He was courteous and explained in detail what he was going to do. He did this in a pleasant manner as he enjoyed his job and was proud of Perma-Seal. He gets a top rate from us. I would recommend Perma-Seal to others.
Basement waterproofing estimate
Sherry was so friendly and informative and answered any questions I had regarding the details of waterproofing my basement! We are looking forward to having a safe comfortable area to enjoy in just a few weeks!
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.

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.
Foundation Crack Repair
The leaks we had were resolved. They did a good job. They excavated & filled the crack in the foundation of our home.
Sump Pump Replacement
Excellent quality and service, you get what you pay for! I had Perma-Seal out in March 2013 to repair 5 cracks in my foundation and replace both sump pumps before the big flood of April 2013. The salesman was smart and courteous, he showed me exactly how they would make the repairs and exactly how much it would cost. I did get two other estimates on the repairs before I went with Perma-Seal, one estimate was higher and one estimate was lower. I called the Perma-Seal salesman back and he scheduled the repairs for me. The repair crew was on time and spent several hours making the repairs in my basement. They left my basement cleaner than it was! I made it through the big flood of April 2013 without a drop of water in my basement. Perma-Seal was absolutely worth the investment!
free estimate
Ruben Gonzalez came out to do a basement inspection to make sure I did not have any foundation cracks while I am in the process of selling my house. After his very professional inspection and very in debt explanation I am very happy to know that I have no problems to worry about things in my foundation and basement. Ruben ws wonderful. Thank you very much.
Foundation Repair
Blas and Oscar did a great job. They make Perma-Seal look very good!
Foundation Repair
I felt dumb because I didn’t know what I needed for my house. My front door had a gap at the bottom and its made my utility bills higher. I was compaining to a guy friend and he said call Perma-Seal. They were very helpful and explained every thing perfectly. Not only that but they were able to fix that and a problem with my foundation I didnt know I had.
Foundation Repair
I hired them to seal cracks in my foundation, install a sump pump, an injector pump, and installed drain tile. They completed the work within a couple of days. I chose them for the job because they offered the best rate for the all the services to be completed. Everything was fine.
Foundation Repair
We have used them a few times for foundation crack repair. They were very quick and did the job well. When we used them a few years ago, they also had a warranty if any sealed cracks should leak again. They come out and repair again, at not cost.
Foundation inspection
Professional from start to finish
Foundation Repair
Victor and Eleazar from Perma-Seal did a wonderful job. They cleaned the job sites in and out when finished. We need more people like them in the world!

Excellent service and professionalism from start to finish, not to mention the lifetime guarantee! Will continue to recommend this company to friends!
Basement Waterproofing
Being at a low spot in my neighborhood, the heavy rains we get periodically through the year, and the amount of water I was seeing getting pumped out during those rains, I wanted some assurances of having a good sump/backup system for my basement (even though I was happy with my self-installed system, I felt like it was time to invest in something more professional looking).After getting a few quotes, I settled on these guys, simply because of the professionalism they showed during their initial visit. The price was a little high for my taste, but then, all bids were coming in around at a similar price. The guy that did the install was professional, clean, and courteous.Now, after a year of it working, I’m happy, it’s been functioning well. I would recommend this company for sump-pump installs.
Basement Waterproofing
Perma-Seal did a full perimeter basement drainage system for us along with installing a new sump pump with back-up. All was done in the 2 days allotted by people who knew what they were doing and were able to explain why they did the things they did. We have now gone through some really heavy rains and have been dryer than ever. Each day they were here at the time promised and cleaned up prior to leaving.
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement walls had mold from water damage from a burst water pipe/drain. We were concerned that water was also entering the foundation walls and floor. We called Perma-Seal,for an estimate on waterproofing the area.TONY GAGLIANO arrived promptly as promised and began a very thorough inspection which included both an exterior and interior exam. He took careful note of the water damage that we had sustained and then concluded that the water had NOT entered through the walls or flooring, but was in fact, from the pipes which had burst. He then spent another hour or so inspecting the surrounding grading, gutters, wall condition, mortar lines, etc..all areas from which water could cause future problems. He was extremely polite, thorough and professional and was not impatient with our endless questions. Based on his assurances, we were able to proceed with remediation of the damage and eventual refinish of the basement.He could have sold us an expensive repair of complete foundation excavation and sealing, drain tiles and sump pumps. Instead he provided us an honest evaluation, which resulted in zero money to Perma Seal. His inspection was free. It doesnt get anymore honest than this. I dont know the names of any other Perma-Seal,inspectors, but if I were looking for a thorough and honest evaluation, I would ask for Tony Gagliano. We thank him and apologize for the delay in providing this review.
Basement Waterproofing
Perma-Seal trenched the perimeter of my basement, installed drainage and sump pump system, and lined walls with waterproof membrane. They were punctual and finished the project early. With the storms and rain we have had this fall their work was put to the test week after week. As I write this review I am in the basement as we wait for the storms and tornado warnings to end. Our basement is water tight and free of the musty odor.
Sump Pump
Allen did a very good job of checking the sump pumps and battery backup. Thank you!
Crawl Space
I had a top notch experience with the Perma-Seal folks… from estimating, through installation, and subsequent warranty work and followup. It was almost 2 years ago when I had all the work performed. Everyone was punctual for their appointments, very knowledgeable and informative on what to expect, how things would work, and what to watch. The end result looks very similar to the other ‘after’ pictures posted… very clean and professional. No mess left after the work. I no longer have that musty smell in the crawl, and I actually store things in there now. After the first year I did have an issue with the pump. They responded quickly and took care of the issue (replaced pump) at no cost. Everything continues to work like a charm. On top of it… after another year went by… I recently received a call to schedule a free inspection and checkup. They just were here and checked everything out… all still working great…. and free inspection as well. Can’t beat that… they just checked everything out, made sure all was working fine, mentioned a few things I could do for added services but was not ‘pushy’ by no means on the sell… just let me know what was available. Excellent customer focus, followup and support. I am extremely happy I went with these folks…. as I said, my experience has been top notch.
Sump Pump Work
The certified foundation consultant that came out was very professional and explained every detail of what he recommended and why that work was needed. The crew that came to do the work were also professional and very knowledgeable. After cleaning the original sump pump, they saw that there was no need to do the additional work originally quoted. Because they knew what they were doing, I ended up saving $1,000 because there was not need to break concrete and install a double basin. They arrived early, at 7:30 a.m. and were finished by 10:00 a.m. I was extremely pleased with their work from start to finish.
Sump Pump
Dear Roy: I remember when you did all of your own work with just one helper. You have built a successful business with good employees and morals. I want to tell you how impressed I was with William who did my 10 point maintenance inspection on March 16th. My pump was vibrating and making water sounds. William took the pump out, replaced the valve and installed a J hook strap. The sump pump is almost silent. I hope you keep him on the inspection crew. He is very professional and knows the sump pumps.
Sump Pump Installation
The Perma-Seal service tech was professional and he completed the sump pump exchange without a problem. I will continue to recommend your company!
Basement Waterproofing
I contacted Perma-Seal in an effort to determine the source of water in my basement, glass block installation, and replacement of my sump pumps. Dan McGowan came out, on time, and went over the entire basement. He was able to show me the source of the water in the basement (not foundation related), and provide estimates for work on the glass blocks and the sump pumps. I have two sump pumps – one sump pit and a grey water pit – both with pumps. Dan was able to advise me that the odor in my basement was due to the lack of seals on these pits, and included the pit seals in the estimate. He also noticed that the sewer pipe had leaked at some point, but would benefit from re-packing. I decided to complete this project first. I called to schedule my installation and spoke with Rosie in the call center. She was awesome, friendly, and very helpful. Scheduling was a breeze!On the day of the installation, I was contacted by the crew and advised that they would be there in approximately 30 minutes, which was within their provided 2 hour time frame. The workers arrived, put booties on their feet to prevent water/mud from getting in the house and got to work. The guys were friendly enough, and demonstrated that the pumps were functioning correctly. Overall this was a great experience. I highly recommend Perma-Seal and their staff. I won’t hesitate to use them in the future for the glass block installation.
Concrete Fill
Very efficient, job done quickly
Crawl Space
I love what perma seal did to my crawl space. I had just exposed concrete walls and gravel floors. My crawl space always smelled wet, dank and a little moldy, i had perma seal come out and encapsulate the whole thing. I can tell you that every single time I go into the crawl space a smile creeps across my face seeing the nice job they did, plus it is ten times easier to get around in there now that i am no longer crawling on rocks. We also had cracks in the foundation and they were handled easly by the perma seal team. I love the work perma seal did and I will always ring there bell. P.S i had my work done more than 10 years ago and it looks as nice as the day i got it done.
Concrete Lifting
Jack Castella was very helpful. He clearly explained our options without trying to push us into something we didn’t need. He spent time consulting with others to find a great solution water accumulation on our driveway. If the work product is as good as Jack was we expect to be very satisfied.
Basement Waterproofing
Very good service. This is the third time I have used Permaseal for my Home. Every employee is knowledgeable and very careful to keep the basement clean Anyone who has dealt with the mess of plumbing and trenching of concrete will know how much dust is involved Permaseal makes sure there is know mess The work is guaranteed Today I had Jamie place an air tight sump pump cover. He was exceptional and knowledgeable. He also gave me insight on water maintenance issues for my house that is much appreciated Kenneth S
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
After having 2 major basement floods and a few minor ones over the years, I decided to throw in the towel and give Perma-Seal a call. A rep came out a few days later and assessed my situation and gave me an estimate on the spot. The price was lower than I thought it would be. The salesman was very professional and ‘no pressure’. He did inform us, though, that they were so busy they wouldn’t be able to install the system until the first week of October and this was the last week of June, 2009! I kept my fingers crossed during the weeks prior to the install that we wouldn’t have anymore flooding rains. The crew came on the first of October and was finished the next afternoon. I’m writing this on July 24, 2010, after over 7 inches of rain fell on Chicago in less than 12 hours. I’m very pleased to say that my basement remained bone dry. It’s so dry that my dehumidifier didn’t even turn on. THANK YOU, PERMA-SEAL! I waited to write this review because I wanted to wait and see if the system could handle an Armageddon-ish rainstorm and it passed with flying colors! My poor neighbors are all bailing out their basements and I feel sorry for them. Needless to say I’m overjoyed with the Perma-Seal system in my basement. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because the crew left a bit of a mess for me to clean up, mainly concrete dust.
Foundation Repair
We own a home built in 1928 and had noticed wall cracks in one corner area of the house which kept reappearing. Having experience in residential housing, I decided that we had settling issues in on corner of our house. I knew of Perma-Seal from listening to Lou Manfredini and thought I would give them a call to have a look at what was going on. The sales rep agreed with my diagnosis and we scheduled the work. The price quote was fixed and was right in alignment with what I anticipated. The workers showed up as planned and were very knowledgeable about foundations. In the process, we found that the foundation had been poured without footings! (I guess that’s how they did things in those days?) That was not a problem for the push-post pinning system that Perma-Seal uses. They proceeded to install the underpinnings, patch the concrete cuts, and clean up. Would I use them again? Absolutely! In particular, if we have other foundation issues, they will be my first call.
Basement Waterproofing
Perma-Seal arrived on time on the designated date to perform the contracted services. All of the employees were very professional and knew their jobs very well. The work was performed in the allotted time frame and very little mess was left when you consider that a jackhammer was used, gravel for the drain was moved inside, and then fresh concrete was mixed and poured to cover the trench. I was very pleased with the work and have had no seepage since the work was done. It’s great that the work has a lifetime warranty and is transferable to a new owner should I ever sell my home. Perma-Seal is a very well run organization and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.

Basement Waterproofing
Install interior drain system underneath basement floor and all that goes with that process including wall crack repair, and installation of double pit sump pump and back up battery. Price included removal of old concrete double sink laundry tub and installation of new fiberglass tub. The team was very efficient and did a really good clean up job. A couple of scheduling problems popped up at the very beginning and end of installation day, but were handled by management IMMEDIATELY and PROFESSIONALLY. The drainage system was finished in one day. THANK YOU!!!!
