Customer Reviews and Testimonials

Oren

Oren Danino inspected my attic: measuring insulation depth and quality, inspecting for vermin infestation, checking for any gaps or openings.
He then gave me a report on his findings, explaining terminology and results in clear understandable terms. Based on his findings he did an energy audit. That was a fascinating experience! Again he reviewed the findings in understandable terms. He then provided options to improve energy efficiency in my home.
Submitted a proposal detailing what could be done to improve energy efficiency for my circumstances.
After using Perma Seal for other projects I was happy to see they continue to set the standard for professionalism conduct.
Thank you Oren for the education and explaining options.

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.

When I found some basement leakage near the area where I had a foundation leak sealed by Perma-Seal,last year, I called them to give me some advice. The Perma-Seal,representative determined that the leak was not from the previous foundation leak (that Perma-Seal,had repaired). However, he took the time to look more thoroughly into the problem, both inside and outside. He suggested I have the wall near the leak checked over by a tuck pointer. Long story short, tuck pointing was the perfect answer to the problem. I would never have thought of it if the Perma-Seal,representative had not checked things out so carefully and taken the time to give me some good advice.It was a great experience. The Perma-Seal,representative walked me through all of the steps I could take to solve the leak problem even though it was not a Perma-Seal,project.

After shopping around and getting three estimates on our basement wall leakage problems we decided to choose Perma-Seal. We made the right choice. Using their sealants they successfully treated the cracks in our foundation. No more leaks!! We recommend them and would and will call them again for any new problem. They also gave a life-time warranty on the work they did so should they need to come back the work will be done free of charge.

I requested an estimate for a leak in foundation. Dan McGowan came out,did a preliminary review and came back to dig out my foundation to find the crack. He only found a poor job by the previous owner in some brick work at the top of the foundation. He spent a couple of hours and would not bill me. A welcome experience with an honest contractor. I would definitely recommend Perma-Seal for giving a honest foundation repair estimate and being extremely helpful even when there was no apparent monetary gain to be had.

During the last 3 months, I have been attempting to solve a water leakage problem at my property in Chicago. It is an expensive single family home that I have been fortunate enough to rent to very nice, responsible people. Unfortunately, I have had sewer smelling water entering the lower level every time it rained. It is a finished living area. Let me tell you something, I have been rehabbing and building for 20 years. I have been a Real Estate broker for 20 as well. I tell people all the time, You can never have all three…speed, competence and price. You always have to pick two. Well, for the first time in my career, Dan McGowan gave me all three. He was fast, considerate, competent and did not try to rip me off. I also felt Steve was out for my interest every minute. This was a rare experience for me. I just wanted to let you know that you have some great employees. However you found them, I would write it down. I will always call your company first. I am also putting your numbers in my newsletter for all to see.

I was very pleased with the result after Perma-Seal worked on my foundation. The crew was well-managed, courteous and careful of my property and everything was done as described. I received full value for the money!

I have nothing but praise for Perma-Seal. They were all so nice, helpful and patient when answering questions about my foundation. The crew introduced themselves when they arrived and left the work area very clean when they left. Working with Perma-Seal was such a pleasant experience!

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!

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.

Allen was my technician for my annual sump pump system preventive maintenance. He took great care to explain the workings of the system and battery backup, and his recommendations. He also inspected both the inside and outside of my home. I felt he was really thorough and knowledgeable about the work he did and I will be happy to have him back. Thank you!

George was a great helpful and nonpushy salesman. Armando and guys came to do the work and did a fantastic job. We had drain tiles put around our basement and had them put another sump pump in. No more worries when it rains. No more mopping up the water either. Thank goodness for perma seal.

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

Super professional and efficient. Victor R was our technician to install a new sump pump w/ battery backup system. I would highly recommend Perma-Seal and Victor R. to meet your sump pump needs.

Thank you Pedro R & Branden for your excellent work today!! We appreciate so much your help in cleaning out the sand and tree roots from our system! We look forward to you doing work for us again!! Shirley & Gladen Martin, Hobart, Indiana

They fixed leaks in the basement floor by digging and inserting drain hose at the interior perimeter of basement floor and directed the drainage to a new sump pump. I have not seen a drop of water since. I had this company replace another worn sump pump about a year ago.The workers were professional, and swift with the labor and clean up. Clean up was excellent considering it was a rainy day. Every thing worked when tested and has worked very well since. I am pleased with the lifetime warranty and know they will be there if something is wrong. You need to remove anything against the perimeter walls of the basement, e.g., washer/dryer, cabinets, tables, workbench, etc. Good opportunity to clean and paint if needed.

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.

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.

My consultant Sean was very thorough in covering the various aspects of the project I’m interested in. He explained the issues, potential future problems and the various costs and payment plans. Very impressed with his knowledge. Very professional!

Sean is 5 stars all the way.

salesman was prompt and professional. He seems to know exactly what he was talking about, he took care of the business fast and courteously.

Anthony explained everything well, very professional, and very punctual. We want him to come every time we need our system maintenance!

Antonio Garcia did an outstanding job of performing the annual checkup on my Perma-Seal system.
As promised by the appointment scheduler, Antonio called exactly 30 minutes ahead of his arrival.

He was very tidy and thorough. He checked the interior equipment, and even the condition of our white wall covering from PermaSeal. That has never been performed before, as far as I know. He also checked the exterior equipment. He showed me the failure of the backup pump inside annd instructed me about my alternatives for replacement parts and costs. After his installation he showed me how it worked, as confirmation. He was timely and efficient.
He also explained the prepaid plan again and that it is transferrable to a new homeowner if we move away.
Very professional and polite.

Christian did a great job. Changed our batteries and let us know we should enlarge our pit.

Anthony did a great job with his inspection and explained by different options by most importance, and also options to stay proactive and fully covered.

Very friendly and efficient.

Jesse did an excellent job explaining the issue

Jake was out today to service the permanent dehumidifier that we purchased from Perma-Seal. He gave us all the answers we needed and went out of his way to be helpful, kind, and informative. He is an excellent representative for the Perma-Seal name.

Outstanding service. Nick who serviced the sump pump was very thorough, professional and took the time to answer my questions. I’ve been a Permaseal customer for many years and continue to be impressed with the quality of the people the hire. Great job Nick and thank you.
