Customer Reviews and Testimonials

Christian was very personable. Honest in letting me know I will have to change my battery backup soon and left a quote for it.

Christian was very efficient. Told us we needed our battery changed and did it right then and there.

Thank you to Chuck, our sales rep, Eric, our lead installer, and Kyle, we appreciated your professionalism, strong work ethic, dependability. We would trust Permaseal for all of our needs. Thank you for your patience with our scheduling demands all the way in Somonauk. Just all around excellent experience. A++

Christian came out last week and told us it was time to replace our pump system. He came out a week later and did it all himself. He was personable and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Christian stopped by and let me know everything was working fine. Greatly appreciate his honesty.

Sergio and his helper (coincidentally also named Sergio) seemed very diligent in cleaning out as much of the sand in the system as possible, and even suggesting a rather more radical next step to get around the last few roadblocks, which I declined at this time.
There does seem to be a flaw in the way the system was originally installed, with a viewpoint to maintenance (cleanout) in terms of the number of tight right-angle corners in the layout.

Extremely helpful with frozen pipe, and information of services.

Jesse was thorough and explained everything!

My experience was great from the initial to the actual work by this gentleman and Louis. They were prompt, courteous and efficient

Christian was knowledgeable and professional.

Nicholas was very thorough and professional. He provided me with a great overview of the problem and the solutions he recommended, answered all my questions and explained the process in a easy to understand manner.

Tony D. was terrific! He deserves 5 stars for wonderful communication! Tony is very professional and takes the time to explain everything.

Well informed survey of my problems concerning water leaks.

Nick Liguras provided a thorough inspection of the trouble spots in the home and gave clear explanations of the both the problems and repair recommendations. He listened intently to the issues and offered practical solutions to address the issues upon inspection. He listened intently and addressed all of my questions in a pleasant, professional way. Our exchanges reassured me that PermaSeal could provide a workable solution.

Nick was very knowledgeable, thorough and very engaging. We are very happy to have done business with him!

Tony Wong was informative, friendly and patient as we decided what to do to protect our home from water seepage in one corner of the basement. I will highly recommend Tony!
Thank you for sending Tony

Extremely upset and disappointed with our service. We had some water issues in our basement and were told that this was caused by hydrostatic pressure and that drain tile would 100% solve our issue, and if it didn’t, we had a lifetime guaranty covering us if we ever got water again. We had the system installed in January 2023 and it seemed to be working, but during heavy storms last weekend (September 2023) we once again got water in our newly finished basement in the same exact spots. After fighting to get someone from PermaSeal to come out a few days later (they originally told me it would be over a week before they send someone), they said that the drain tile system is working fine and that the guaranty only relates to the drain tile system working and proceeded to recommend we reach out to a plumber to see if there’s an old sewer line or pipe underneath the ground that could be causing the issue. I was shocked at the suggestion that this burden should be on us and that we should have to pay to have a plumber come out when this was never brought up as a possibility when we originally had the basement inspected and signed the contract.

So we are now sitting with water still in our basement and are probably developing mold with a newborn baby in the house and PermaSeal has taken no responsibility. We were sold a bag of goods and paid $12k for a drain tile system that did not solver our problem and now PermaSeal isn’t living up to their promise or alleged guaranty now that we actually have water and is instead claiming that there is a separate issue that was never mentioned before. If this isn’t rectified we will absolutely be leaving this review everywhere and spreading this message to friends and family in the area, as well as pursuing any available recourse.

My Basement needs waterproofing….Perma-Seal sent (DAVE) to my home to Explain what I needed to do. He was on time knowledgeable not Pushy & very professional…I’m not 100% certain but I do believe Perma-Seal will be very Hard to beat

Terrible terrible service . Four thousand dollars for one tiny wall not even the length of the house .It appears like nothing was done at all water in the same spot . Asked to talk to Supervisor in charge they refused .Please do not make the mistake I did they sent the same person back he was trying to get me to pay for another wall when there is no water . Rip -off terrible place . So sorry I went with them .

Tony Wong was awesome. He explained everything to me and how to fix our window well. I have used perma-seal on other homes and have always had top quality and professional service.

Blas and Oscar did a great job. They make Perma-Seal look very good!

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!

Tony from Perma-Seal was very thorough and explained about the problems with our foundation and what corrective actions should be taken to resolve the issue step by step. Very exceptional!

Dealing with Perma-Seal was a great experience from the small repair price to dealing with the people. Our basement consultant answered every questions and explained everything clearly. Awesome job on our basement!

I had the option of using another contractor, but I chose to have Perma-Seal perform the interior crack repairs because I trust their years of experience and excellent reputation as a foundation repair company in Chicago.

Just want to say thank you to Perma-Seal for doing such a fine job on my basement.

When we found two cracks in our basement wall while clearing the area for the installation of a new furnace, we thought of Perma-Seal first. They repaired cracks in our basement walls a few years after we moved into our newly built home in 1973. Back then, Roy Spencer worked on the jobs himself. Being a new Angie’s List member, we looked them up and saw that they have continued to satisfy customers over the years. We called and Consultant Jim Burlison responded within 48 hours to give us an estimate. He was very hands-on and examined each site before suggesting a solution. On the scheduled day, the technician called and asked if he could arrive early to do the job. The work was done professionally, quickly, and with no leftover mess or cleanup. Now that the epoxy has cured, we will chip off the plugs and paint the wall. Although there are companies out there who can do the job for less money, Perma-Seal provides a free lifetime service warranty on their repairs. It’s comforting to know that these are two cracks we won’t have to worry about…Thanks, Roy Spencer for owning a company that really delivers. And thanks, Perma-Seal for the nice experience!

I am super excited about your work. I could not be happier with how the job went, from the first call until the work was completed. Everything was great!

These two employees (James A. and Bill H) are great examples “role models“ of what client services should be, I know you advertise this but it is VERY TRUE! Both of them took time to not only answer my questions or listen to my concerns but would stop doing work to look at me while answering my numerous questions. There are many people who come in, do service and seem very eager to get in out, this was not the case with your company. Thank you very much for having such great service and these two members should definitely be praised for their work!

The work was great and I am extremely satisfied with what Perma-Seal did for me. Your consultant Dan Arcus was top notch and professional.

Excellent job – Pedro and Jesus were great!

Mark came to check the batteries in our sump pump and explained what had to be done. He was very nice and easy to understand.

Excellent service (friendly, informative, helpful, professional).

David G/Electrician did an excellent job. Installed a new line for the sump pump. Very knowledgeable and personable. A pleasure to work with

I had Permaseal come over today to install a back up sump pump system& Allen was my technician. Allen did a wonderful job explaining the whole system to me. I will definitely use Permaseal again and recommend to all my friends and family.

Perms-Seal consultant, Aaron Woolfolk thoroughly accessed and explained my options in addressing my concerns regarding my sump pump system. Throughout the entire process he exhibited and displayed his professional knowledge of basement waterproofing and foundational repair systems. He was personable, courteous and respectful of my concerns in resolving this matter in the most cost efficient way. It has been a pleasure working with Mr. Woolfolk and would recommend his services to friends and families in need of support in resolving their basement and foundational repair concerns.

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 we doing and were able to explain why the did the thing the did. We have now gone through some really heavy rains and have been dryer the ever. Each day they were here at the time promised and cleaned up prior to leaving.

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!

Rich Betts did a terrific job diagnosing and replacing our sump pumps and battery backup systems. He arrived within the promised window and called ahead to alert us as to when he was 1/2 hour or 1 hour away. His work was professional and he went out of his way to ensure our carpeting was unblemished. His clean up was excellent. The installation went smoothly and he took care to make the wiring neat. I am completely happy with the job he did.

Vincente and Leopoldo were at our house to inspect our sump pump and also to assist us with our French drain. It needed to be raised. The gentlemen were so polite and hardworking. It was quite a lot of work to get through the roots and they did a lot of work, with no complaints. My husband and I were very happy with these hard working, polite, respectful men.

sean was great

Tom is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Appointment time kept.

Sean was prompt and provided me with in depth knowledge of the processes. I was very pleased with the encouraging assessment and happy my needs will be met.

Sean was great and he explained the whole process to me. The price was very affordable.

Keegan was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the various issues I was concerned with. He provided proposals for solutions to each. I elected to proceed with the patio concrete lifting. This project is slated to begin on August 16th.

What a great job. My driveway looks so much better. Joaquin and his crew made a piece of art out of something really bad. The first day they came out there were problems with the equipment and they tried real hard to get it going but had to end up coming back but they made it back in 2 days and got the job done. Great communication with me & my wife so we knew what was going on. Joaquin said he treated the job like he was doing his own house and wanted it to be right. Financing was easy & quick too so from start to finish we waited 2 weeks and the job was done & paid for. I will for sure recommend Perma-Seal to anyone looking for work to be done.

Tom was great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Took his time to explain everything with thoroughness.

Permaseal was great and so was Sean.

Sean was awesome.

Tom was very helpful and informative. He took the time to thoroughly examine the issue and explain the procedure. And the price is reasonable compared with other providers.

Christian gave valuable advice. Had great expertise and a compassionate personality. Highly recommend!

Niko inspected my pumps and foundation. Also explained findings on foundation and brickwork. He inspected the outside foundation as well. Recommendations provided on how to improve including the perma dry system which I will consider next year. He also, identified some brick and crack issues and recommended I contact BBB for a construction rep. as Permaseal does not perform that work. Thank you for a thorough examination of my home and the recommendations. I will be in touch in the future for the Permadry system. Very thorough review. Much appreciated.

One thing I can say for certain is Dylan has excellent work etiquette. I’ve never had anyone come in and actually introduce themselves and have a nice conversation. Usually they just go straight to the crawl space and try to sell me something. Also thank you for explaining the basement defender to me, sounds a lot better than testing it my self.

Christian was very helpful. He answered all my questions. He was very informative. It was pleasure working with him.

Christian and Niko were efficient and communicated arrival time well.

Anthony and Avery were very professional, timely, thorough and very pleasant to work with. As a Permaseal client they assessed all my sump pumps, basement and exterior and provided me with excellent suggestions to enhance and protect my property. They were very knowledgeable to educate me on the options and clearly presented me a path forward to further safeguard my home. Thank you so much Anthony and Avery!

Dylan was informative about my pumps I didn’t really know the specs of them and lifespan. Hopefully I get him next year I don’t like getting new people.

Jake was courteous and professional explained the benefit of burying our sump discharge as well as having back up systems in place.

Christian was courteous and on time. Thank you for your honesty.
