After removing drywall and insulation, he used the garden hose to soak the dry ground and finally, success!! I now have a date scheduled for repair of the crack in the foundation. It was a pleasure working with Antonio. He was knowledgeable and patient working to find the problem. Thanks Antonio.

Tom was puntual and professional. He’s an upright guy!

Aaron was very complete in his explanations & expectations. He did not skip any steps even though we tried to rush him through some parts. He was respectful enough to remove his shoes when asked.

Nick L. Was great. Very knowledgeable, and he answered all of my questions. He gave great suggestions and recommendations for work that was needed. He was able to find where the water was coming in, and didn’t have to remove too much of my wall to do so. Very professional. Thank you Nick.

Nicholas Liguras,

Is a fantastic representative for Permaseal. He is thorough and clear with his waterproofing presentation.

Moreover, Nicholas was not adding pressure, or the fear tactic to rush and get the services done that were suggested.

Aaron Schwartz Was the sales specialist he was very knowledgeable and informative of the work that needs to be done .Jamie did the work and was very professional and completed the job in a timely manner. Left my place clean of all debris and dust . Would know they even did work other than the smell of the materials they use . Will recommend Perma Seal to anyone..

Today’s visit was incredibly professional and helpful. After several other contractors looking at the problem and not being able to properly diagnose the problem I feel confident that this should do it since what was happening was explained to me each step of the way. I’m obviously not happy we have these issues but appreciate the how today’s appointment went!

Aaron S. provided a detailed explanation of the process for waterproofing the basement. Additionally, he provided optional recommendations for saving money on the process.

They were extremely professional and did excellent work. The workers kept everything very clean considering they were digging up our basement floor which can cause quite a mess. They worked quickly and there were no issues throughout the entire process. I would certainly recommend them to a friend. They are probably not the cheapest service out there, but when you’re dealing with your foundation I would not want to be going with the cheapest, but the ones who do the job well.

Perma-Seal sealed 6 cracks in my foundation. It was great! They came in and were done in about 4 hours. They cleaned up after themselves too and since then not a drop of water coming in. I love it, should’ve done this a long time ago.

I have had a basement water problem for years. When I contacted Perma-Seal their Certified Foundation Consultant Mike Keating presented to me a plan to fix the problem once and for all. Mike was prompt, courteous and above all, knowledgeable. He listened to my problem, examined both the inside and outside foundation, and presented two options for my consideration. Their was no pressure to pursue any option. I felt that their Waterguard system was right for me. He described this system in detail and prepared a detailed quote that listed all components and prices. I agreed and a Perma-Seal team showed up on the predetermined date. The team was extremely competent. They did their work efficiently and finished in one day. I have been completely satisfied with their work and less than one week later the Chicago area had one of the heaviest rainfalls in years. I did not have a drop of water in my basement! I would recommend Perma-Seal to anyone looking to solve their basement water problems.

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.

Perma-Seal Basement Systems sealed a large crack in the foundation where water was constantly seeping into a room in our basement. They were here for several hours because there was constant water seeping into the room while they were trying to seal the crack in the foundation. They worked diligently until the crack was completely sealed. I paid exactly what they estimated the work would cost.

When the representative arrived at my home, he was very friendly and quite professional. He quickly diagnosed the problem as being a crack in the foundation near the basement window. He assured us that there was a 95% chance this was really the only problem and that it would not be very expensive to repair. He quoted a price of around $400 and set up a time for the repair man to come out and repair the cracks. Everything happened as described and we were very happy to see there were no more basement leaks after a heavy rain. I would not hesitate to use this company again and I am very grateful to the representative for saving us money.

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.

They filled cracks in our basement walls. We are happy with the work performed. And would call them again, hopefully we won’t need to though.

They came and repaired 2 cracks in my basement foundation. So far, so good. I’ve not seen any water in my basement since the repair.

Found a large crack in the foundation during a bathroom remodel. This crack was not actively leaking but it was large enough that it took more time and material to fix. The person that performed the work was courteous and cleaned up after himself.

Bill Nicholson of Perma-Seal was very professional, polite and thorough. He did not rush, and even asked me if I had any concerns or questions. I will have him come back on next year when I have a new sump pump installed!

I was very satisfied with the drain tile and sump pump installation that was done by the Perma-Seal waterproofing crew. Jim went out of his way to make sure that I was happy and stayed informed with the work that they did.

I am usually hesitant about having people work in my home, but the Perma-Seal crew was so courteous when they came to seal a crack in my basement and install my backup sump pump. They were so helpful in answering all of my questions, and they cleaned up before they left.

Absolutely professional. I called to schedule an estimate. They came and explained everything very thoroughly pros and cons. After getting estimates from other companies we decided for them. They showed up on time on the date they said they would. Julian (head crew) was very professional. They started and finished the same day, working pretty much non-stop for 12 hours. When we decided that changing the main pump was the best option, he checked on his truck and didn’t have one to install right then. He said the next day they would call to install the new main pump. And, that is exactly what they did. By early morning they called and they were on their way! This is the most amazing part: they made a mistake in the charges so I double paid for the main pump. They called me, explained the mistake and canceled the charge. Absolutely honest. This company totally lives up to the A rating they have and more.

We had Perma-Seal install a drainage system that keeps the water out of the basement during the heavy rain. As the other reviews mention it did take a while to get an appointment but that I guess is reality of their availability after a big storm The sump pump system is interesting and well designed since it has a battery backup so if our power goes out the pump will still function. System was put in about year and half ago and we have had no water issues since. I would recommend.

They were very competitive in pricing, I got more for less than the other top basement waterproofer. We needed the interior drain system, and got our cracks filled in the walls and a bubbler discharge line, and still saved [money] over the other bids. We did get 3 other bids, and chose them as an established company, and when they said it would be done in one day we signed on the line. The date of the work was about 2 months out, which gave us plenty of time to clear out years of stuff stored downstairs, and we had to move the washer and dryer and slop sink or laundry tub, we did our own disconnect and re connect of the laundry tub, and saved more money ( they add charges for a plumber to come out) and we moved anything else we did not want to move away from the walls, and we covered everything with tarps. They arrived on time, actually early,and did not waste a minute getting to work. It will be loud and you will clean up dust, but considering the job done, it was not that bad. I did not get the battery back up pump, but may in the future, it is recommended, but my neighbors don’t have them, and we have a generator in case of power outages. Seepage control is not sewer back up control, so it that is your issue, you will need to have another type of plumbing work done. It has been a pleasure to not have to step over seepage trails, it has been a wet week or 2 here, and not a drop of water to be found! Most towns have a rebate for waterproofing or flood proofing, and I will be taking advantage of that too.

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!

Perma-Seal didn’t take any shortcuts when it came to water proofing my basement. They installed a complete drain system, sump pump and sealed all the cracks that were causing water seepage. All I can say is it’s been almost 6 months and not a leak yet.

Very courteous and knowledgeable staff. Very helpful when my old sump pump gave up the ghost during a heavy rain.

This company has worked for me numerous times. I had a water leak in the basement that we could not locate. The first time they came out they found where it was coming from. At that time I had a sump pump put in and also some patching on the outside walls. This year they came for my yearly check and I told them I wanted a battery back up for the pump. They were outstanding. They did not try to sell me the most expensive just the one that would serve my purpose. Since having this done I have not had a drop of water and we have had some bad rain storms. All their workers are very professional and courteous. They come in and when they leave you never even know they were there. Their cleanup is outstanding. I would highly recommend this company to others who are having water problems. The water was not coming from the drain it was hydro-static pressure which I never heard of before. They knew what it was and correct the problem.
