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!
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.

You are fortunate to have such a dedicated and hardworking individual. It says a lot about the company and hoping he is recognized and appreciated for the value he brings.
Water proofing basement
Pedro and his crew were amazing! They did a lot of backbreaking work in order for our basement to be fixed. The team was extremely polite and they kept me up-to-date with progress from start to finish which is very much appreciated because this is a very big job and it makes you understand the process more in details and they keep you involved. The crew was able to answer all my questions and concerns from start to finish. A huge thank you to the team for helping my flooding basement stay dry!

Foundation repair, sewer flood control, inspection for possible interior drain tile
Mike Tigge has been an awesome resource for us! We first met him 10 years ago when he inspected our leaky foundation and correctly diagnosed the repairs. Then he helped us after a major flooding problem with an ejector pit and overhead sewer piping to prevent more sewer backups during huge storms. He came out again recently to evaluate our basement for interior drain tile. Mike really knows his stuff, and we’re happy to know him through Permaseal.
Quote for foundation crack repair
We just moved into a house that needed a lot of work done. One of the major projects that we need to tackle is the basement and the foundation crack/sump pump/ and overall getting the basement up to par and in working order. Mike Tigges came out today to provide a quote/consultation and he did an awesome job. We had another appointment scheduled for a competitor later this month and I ended up just cancelling it. He took care of everything! Looking forward to finally checking this project off our huge project list.

Wall Anchors
Our plan was to compare two companies and decide which would best meet our needs. After back to back appointments we immediately decided to go with Perma-Seal. Mr.John Fergusons presentation was absolutely awesome! He was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and he thoroughly answered all of our questions.In addition to Johns verbal presentation he also provided a very detailed video which was fantastic. Customers want to know what theyre paying for, and the video cleared showed how the work would be done in a step by step format. John please keep up the good work!!!

Duane came out to look into a wall crack below the garage. He worked diligently visiting several parts of the house. After further analysis it was concluded that there was no structural damage to the foundation. I very much appreciate the honesty and professionalism of Duane.
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.
Assessed Issues with House, Porch and Patio
Romy Shaheen was our Preventative Maintenance Technician. He came to Mom’s house, assessed the issues and came up with solutions. Romy explained what needed to be done in clear language that Mom and I understood, and answered every one of our many questions. Romy used illustrations and even brought in a special pipe that was needed, so Mom could see what it looked like. He was thorough, patient and kind. Romy had solutions to raise the foundation in one room, fix the water problem outside the house, and repair the porch and patio. We felt so comforted that things will get back to normal, Mom hired PermaSeal before he left. Romy is an impressive, intelligent representative of your company, an we are thankful to have had him as our technician.

Repair crawl space, encapsulate.
Sergio and his crew were great. Efficient, knowledgeable, polite, hard working. It was not easy going up and down the stairs carrying heavy concrete, stones, supplies. They were dedicated to doing a great job and they did. They were real pros and real gentlemen.
Annual Inspection of Triple Safe Sump Pump System and inspection of crawl space for cracks
Rich Betts did a thorough inspection of my sump pump system and explained some of the features of the newer models. He also did a thorough inspection of the crawl space for cracks and, at my request, also looked for possible entry ways into the crawl space for mice of which I occasionally have had problems with. He discovered three cracks that he identified as needing attention and also a possible entry where mice might be getting in. Rich was extremely courteous, professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure dealing with Rich.
Crawl Space
I just met with Duane Swiggum . He was very courteous and explained the entire process for my crawl space. I am signing for the work to be done as soon as possible. I was very pleased with his professionalism and knowledge.
Crawl Space
Brian M came to my home for a problem with my crawl space. I had my crawl space perma sealed without having a drain tile installed 9 years ago. I had gotten a lot of big puddles of water from the heavy rain we recently had. Brian very patiently explained why this happened. The water had no where to go without having a drain tile. He took so much time with me and I felt like as if my own nephew was helping me. I told him I would call him to let him know what I decided. A few hours later I called him to say I was signing the contract. He was about 40 minutes away just leaving another customer. I asked him since they couldn’t do the job till June 23 what should I do in the meantime. After a full day of work at 7pm he offered to come back to my house and wipe up all the many puddles with old towels that he said to get together. I was amazed how he went above and beyond the excellent service i had already received. It is very rare these days!He is im sure one of your most valuable employees. I will definitely spread the word.
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.
Basement Waterproofing
I have a dirt crawl space in southern Wisconsin. High water table. Had bad experience with other waterproofing company Perma-Seal came in and gave me detailed description on how to correctly do job. From beginning to end, Perma-Seal did EVERYTHING they said they would. Had engineer inspect their work. He was VERY impressed with Perma-Seal. I would recommend Perma-Seal to everybody. Their service people and all others that I had contact with were polite and courteous. Thanks for the great work you did Perma-Seal.
Crawl Space
Jack Castella came and gave us the best inspection of the crawlspace and was so kind and respectfull. I highly recomend permaseal and of course the bomb diggitty Hyperjack !!
Crawl Space
Victor is very knowledgeable and professional and did a thorough inspection of our property (including the entire crawl space) looking for potential foundation leaks during a recent service call. He clearly has a lot of experience in this field and was able to clearly explain all the drainage system options to my wife and me. I highly recommend him.
crawl space
Duane and Roberto from Perma-Seal were given a perfect report card from our customer, Tom G. They completed a 1300 square foot crawl space encapsulation project.
Encapsulated crawl space
I thought that my problem would take two days to complete. But no these guys rocked it out in one long day. These guys had to go through my house to get to the crawl space, which is in my bedroom closet. With tarps down covering every inch of carpet these guys hauled bucket after bucket out the front door. Then back in with the gravel. These buckets were very heavy. They were so conscious about my tv and another wooden chest. Not one scratch or ding. I could have not had a better crew than these guys. I really hope that they get full recognition for a super job.
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.

new sump pump installation
1:05 am, April 30 – The new sump pump/pit/window drainage installed in July 2019 is perfect.Without it, we would have every window well full of water and at least a few inches of water in the basement.The pump cycles every couple of minutes, and I’d estimate the sump pit is receiving a couple of gallons of ground water every minute.Sure hope it stops raining soon.Thanks for the excellent system.
PM of ejector pit /check valve inspection/ sewer line camera inspection/ Pump and motor replacement
Ken Allen Laundie and Rego were very professional. They came to inspect the functionality of the check valve/ ejector pit system in our front yard. They were a little early to the job, but came with everything they needed to change my 9 year old Pump ( working fine but past its service life expectation), and inspect the lines feeding the pit. I am very satisfied with the service and recommendations they provided.
18543 Hickory Street
I needed to replace my sump pump and decided to get the Basement Defender as well! Ramon Duron handled the job quite well and was very polite and knowledgeable. He managed his time very well! I would highly recommend Permaseal to handle all the tough jobs. I am a long time customer and not interested in using any other company!
annual maintenance on sump pump
Three years ago, I signed up for a 5-year package of annual maintenance visits by Permaseal to check the system they installed. I love that I did this. Each year I get a phone call to remind me it is time for the scheduled maintenance (I have no way to forget). A service person comes, goes through everything, checks (and if necessary, cleans) my sump pump pit and machine and all the lines. They also check the basement walls for cracks and go over all of it with me. I like that they are service oriented and not ‘sales driven.’
18543 Hickory Street
Very happy to have Ken Allen Laundie and Rigo come out today for maintenance on my sewer vault. Ken was very knowledgeable and helpful in my making decisions to replace my sump pump. I can tell he loves his job.
Drainage Flange, Triple safe liner and lots of stone and concrete work.
Perfecto and his crew completed the work without any hassles and the work looked great when finished. Minimized the amount of dust and cleaned up when the project was done. 100% satisfied with the work and the leadership and work provided by Perfecto. Would certainly use again.

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.

Routine Maintenance
Scheduled routine maintenance call for liners and pumps in both crawlspaces and the replacement filter in dehumidifier. Miguel Guerrero came out and was excellent in taking care of everything and explaining about what he did and he was even able to fit through the small opening to our second crawl space! Excellent work and product and would recommend your company.
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.
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!

Annual Sump System Mainenance

He straightened everything out, and the pump is quieter and working nicely. He was professional and courteous, and did an efficient job. Highly recommended.

Howard installed a new water heater and replaced the ejection pump. He worked professionally, answered questions, and cleaned up the work area.Manuel worked quickly repairing a crack in the basement wall. He remembered working at our home when Perma-seal installed the basement waterproofing. We have a Perma-seal preventative maintenance agreement to ensure we do not have any water problems. We have only had good experiences with the Perma-seal employees.
