Sump Pump Replacement
Talked to Permaseal just after 8AM 5/30/2025. Around noon Gus and Johnny were here to replace what I thought was an ejector pump. Once they looked it turned out to be a sump pump. They explained the difference and why. (turns out because it only drains the washer it did not need to be a full ejector). The explained how that would reduce the price and proceeded to do a reasonably quick and efficient job and by 3PM I was washing clothes again. These 2 men were good and explained a number of things as they worked. Permaseal is 1 of 2 home service vendors I know I can trust and these 2 men are part of the reason.

Basement Defender System Installation
On 4/25/25 we received service from Manual & Jorge to install a new Basement Defender System and flush out current pipe system. We were advised by Manual that this flushing was not needed due to the area we are in and our bill was reduced by $730. We would like to thank Manual and Jorge for the excellent service, and friendly manner in which they took care of our questions and their honesty. We feel that it is necessary to recognize good service and honesty in good employees.

Basement Waterproofing
Jim G. came out and did a great job. Called for one crack that I saw after we had drywall opened from a flood and Jim found 5 additional cracks that were leaking. And also gave recommendations on sump upgrades and underground extensions to keep water away from house.
Basement Waterproofing
Antonio did an excellent job explaining all of our options. Once the pump was installed, he showed me how to run a test. He showed me an alternative way to plug it in also. While we did not opt to go with the Wi-Fi back up plan at this point, he offered to come back and hook it up if we changed our mind. Antonio was very professional and personable

Basement Waterproofing
Christian was great — patient, thoughtful, informative. Appreciate him working through particulars of the project, with real and helpful solutions.
Basement Waterproofing
I was impressed because I called the company because of moisture in my home (e.g. floor) sometime during the fall/winter. I was instructed to call Permaseal by a friend, which I did. Well, I have no basement. Nevertheless Chris went the extra mile, by inspecting the perimeter of my home and asking if I had a crawl space. He was able to determine yes (that wasn’t easy), and I wasn’t able to find access to it. He was so patient and pleasant. All of what he did and said exemplified excellent customer service. Thank you Chris! When I find the access point, I will be calling back. 05/08/24

Perma-Seal came in today and gave me an estimate on some fixes that were needed for my home. I was shown step by step with a few videos what typically causes damage to a home, that damage had already happened to my home and what could be done to fix the problems. I feel confident moving forward with my decision to use Perma-Seal that the job will be done and addressed correctly.

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.
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..
Crawl space waterproofing and sump pump estimates
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.
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!
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.
