Jim G was out to give recommendations on underground extension and sump system upgrades. He knew what he was talking about and was very professional. We are looking forward to having the work done.

Appreciated the time taken for our estimate. Sales associate was knowledgeable and answered all questions thoroughly. Estimate given in timely manner.

Great service!!! Dan was so knowledgeable and professional! Thank you! I would recommend to everyone who’s in need.

Nick Liguras came out to give us a quote and was very professional and patient with my questions and concerns. He spent time measuring and checking every part of the bid.

Nick Liguras was very professional in his assesment of our basement leakage and what our best options were. He explained in detail what we needed to address and how we can go about it. I was very satisfied with his professionalism.

Nick L. was extremely helpful, and explained everything thoroughly. He answered all our questions, and most importantly, he did not rush to finish. I have had a lot of providers come to our house for quotes on various projects, and a lot of them make you feel rushed into a decision. This felt the most relaxed, thorough, and complete. Not only because he knew his stuff, but because he took his time. Can’t wait to have you all get going! Thanks.

Antonio was extremely professional
and thorough in his interaction with us. He explained clearly what he was doing as part of the preventive maintenance and how we would benefit from—and how to use—the Basement Defender which we decided to purchase based on his thoughtful and persuasive presentation. He was also extremely friendly and personable. It was a pleasure to work with him.

I just want to say a Big Thank You to Aaron for accommodating me on time schedule. He arrived at 9:30. My schedule appointment was from 2-4. But taking care of my grandson that was not a good time for me. That’s was the little ones nap time. Aaron explained everything to me and checked around my basement to see if any other area had seepage. We had FEMA come in to inspect as well. Just have to wait and see the results. Thank you!!

Tony W arrived on time. Quickly assess the situation and was able to give me a quick estimate to seal our leak.

Nicolas was patient, honest, and thorough. I would recommend him to anyone.

I had Nick D come out and he provided outstanding service. Not only did he address my initial concerns, he took the time to explain exactly the root cause of why the leak was happening! It was great that he shared his knowledge!

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.

One wall of our garage was sinking. Perma-seal diagnosed the problem and suggested a solution. They poured piers to support the sinking wall. It was not cheap, but I believe the solution was the correct one. The Perma-Seal team was professional and courteous. They arrived on time and worked efficiently. They cleaned up well after themselves. Our village inspector was pleased with the work and told me that he never expects to see a problem on a Perma-Seal job.

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!

We have used them a few times for foundation crack repair. They were very quick and did the job well. When we used them a few years ago, they also had a warranty if any sealed cracks should leak again. They come out and repair again, at no cost.

Professionals that saved me from wasting a lot of money, and they did high quality, on time, professional work. I received other bids for over $3,000 to fix a leak that I had. Dan McGowan, the Perma-Seal,representative quickly explained that Perma-Seal’s proprietary process would get the job done with a warranty for around $200.Crew showed up on time. Done in 25 minutes. Work area left cleaner than before they started. Lifetime warranty on the seal. What could be better? You can trust Dan with his estimates and suggestions. You can trust that Perma-Seal,will deliver the goods.

Our basement walls had mold from water damage from a burst water pipe/drain. We were concerned that water was also entering the foundation walls and floor. We called Perma-Seal,for an estimate on waterproofing the area.TONY GAGLIANO arrived promptly as promised and began a very thorough inspection which included both an exterior and interior exam. He took careful note of the water damage that we had sustained and then concluded that the water had NOT entered through the walls or flooring, but was in fact, from the pipes which had burst. He then spent another hour or so inspecting the surrounding grading, gutters, wall condition, mortar lines, etc..all areas from which water could cause future problems. He was extremely polite, thorough and professional and was not impatient with our endless questions. Based on his assurances, we were able to proceed with remediation of the damage and eventual refinish of the basement.He could have sold us an expensive repair of complete foundation excavation and sealing, drain tiles and sump pumps. Instead he provided us an honest evaluation, which resulted in zero money to Perma Seal. His inspection was free. It doesnt get anymore honest than this. I dont know the names of any other Perma-Seal,inspectors, but if I were looking for a thorough and honest evaluation, I would ask for Tony Gagliano. We thank him and apologize for the delay in providing this review.

I had a top notch experience with the Perma-Seal folks… from estimating, through installation, and subsequent warranty work and followup. It was almost 2 years ago when I had all the work performed. Everyone was punctual for their appointments, very knowledgeable and informative on what to expect, how things would work, and what to watch. The end result looks very similar to the other ‘after’ pictures posted… very clean and professional. No mess left after the work. I no longer have that musty smell in the crawl, and I actually store things in there now. After the first year I did have an issue with the pump. They responded quickly and took care of the issue (replaced pump) at no cost. Everything continues to work like a charm. On top of it… after another year went by… I recently received a call to schedule a free inspection and checkup. They just were here and checked everything out… all still working great…. and free inspection as well. Can’t beat that… they just checked everything out, made sure all was working fine, mentioned a few things I could do for added services but was not ‘pushy’ by no means on the sell… just let me know what was available. Excellent customer focus, followup and support. I am extremely happy I went with these folks…. as I said, my experience has been top notch.

The Perma-Seal service tech was professional and he completed the sump pump exchange without a problem. I will continue to recommend your company!

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.

Called Permaseal and they sent Sean. Sean was great.

Sean was amazing. He was very polite and knowledgeable. He did a full inspection of my problem areas and educated me on how to prevent my other areas from sinking as well. I decided to go with Permaseal because of the reputation and Sean’s professionalism.

Christian was prompt and informed me that I needed another primary. I will be considering it. See you next year.

Anthony did a good job explaining everything.
