Jason was here to fix a leak a week after a previous visit failed to stop a leak. He was on time, polite, quick and did quality work to fix the leaks. He was happy to explain and review his work when complete.

Anthony Modica was great to work with! He did an inside and outside inspection, and let me know how everything was doing, and things to look for in the future

Christian is a true gentleman. He has educated me beautifully about my battery as well as my outside drainage. I feel confident and reassured about his reccomendations.

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.

Sean was on time and informative .

Your service technician was very helpful… and knowledgeable… he answered all of my questions… a 10 all the way… give him a raise… pastor Maurice…

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.

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

Nick L. was very informative. He was patient and did not mind going over everything in detail. I will definitely recommend Permaseal for services.

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.

Being at a low spot in my neighborhood, the heavy rains we get periodically through the year, and the amount of water I was seeing getting pumped out during those rains, I wanted some assurances of having a good sump/backup system for my basement (even though I was happy with my self-installed system, I felt like it was time to invest in something more professional looking).After getting a few quotes, I settled on these guys, simply because of the professionalism they showed during their initial visit. The price was a little high for my taste, but then, all bids were coming in around at a similar price. The guy that did the install was professional, clean, and courteous.Now, after a year of it working, I’m happy, it’s been functioning well. I would recommend this company for sump-pump installs.

Perma-Seal trenched the perimeter of my basement, installed drainage and sump pump system, and lined walls with waterproof membrane. They were punctual and finished the project early. With the storms and rain we have had this fall their work was put to the test week after week. As I write this review I am in the basement as we wait for the storms and tornado warnings to end. Our basement is water tight and free of the musty odor.

Perma-Seal installed an interior drain tile and sump pump with battery back up. They were very professional, quick and easy to work with. Everything has worked well for years now. I would definitely recommend them to others.

I inadvertently crossed leads on my sump pump battery causing a recharging problem for the system. While out of town, my wife called Perma-Seal to service our unit which turned out to be out-of-warranty. They sent a serviceman out to essentially sell a new system since this one was out of warranty. He was honest, and professional enough that he saw the issue was mine, fixed the connection and charged us $0. He won my loyalty for life with his actions.

We used Perma-Seal Basement Systems. They did a drain pipe in the basement, and they put in a sump pump. They also had to do something to my sewer line, which was a big job, so they had to call a special plumber. The service worked out great. They were great, they were in and out quickly, and they cleaned up.

They are very professional and on time. Everything was what they said it would be. They did their own financing which was helpful. They also had the best price out of the bids we got. They installed new drain tile & sump pump in our crawl space.

Install interior drain system underneath basement floor and all that goes with that process including wall crack repair, and installation of double pit sump pump and back up battery. Price included removal of old concrete double sink laundry tub and installation of new fiberglass tub. The team was very efficient and did a really good clean up job. A couple of scheduling problems popped up at the very beginning and end of installation day, but were handled by management IMMEDIATELY and PROFESSIONALLY. The drainage system was finished in one day. THANK YOU!!!!

Service was punctual and a professional job was performed. We installed a larger sump pump and redid the PVC piping to accommodate quicker water discharges. Electrical upgrade work was performed as well.

Nick L. Was very professional and made sure I understood what I needed and why.

Sean was great. I love working with professionals and Sean is one by far.

Sean was very hepful. Was much more helpful that I expected. Thanks.

Sean was very polite; My driveway will not have the chipmunks anymore.

Tom did a great job! He listened to my concerns and provided solutions.

Sean was on time and explained the process in depth. He answered all my questions and was extremely polite. My brother lives next door and has similar issues with his front steps. Sean went and gave him an estimate as well. We are both considering doing the projects.

Sean was very smart. I give him and company 5 stars. I have used them in past and using them now for my garage. Thanks!

Nick L was an absolute professional! He was patient, kind and very informative. I’m looking forward to doing business with Permaseal.

Very informative. Sean explained process and considering for future!

Tom was very thorough and professional.

Niko was very thorough in examining the sump pumps, the dehumidifier and filter, and the drainage system from the roof and backup sump, tested everything, noted some issues which need addressing in the next year. He was courteous and explained everything thoroughly. Overall, I could not have asked for better service. Tom

Niko was prompt to the appointment and called me ahead of time to give me his estimated time of arrival. Niko was very nice and courteous and did an excellent job explaining what he had done and the status of my current sump pump. He also let me know of a couple of options that I might be interested in getting, but did not pressure me. Excellent employee.

Jake arrived early and was informative about our options to keep our basement dry and home healthy.

Antonio was thorough and efficient in his annual inspection of the pumps. He provided good explanations to my questions and other matters I had not thought about. Much thanks!

Perfecto was very polite and did the job very quickly and smoothly.

Christian was thorough and we are going to bury discharge lines away from the foundation.

Antonio came out for our yearly inspection and cleaned our systems and recommended products to be replaced that could lead to potential problems in the future, we were happy with his work and would gladly have him back for next years appointment

Jake offered insight on how we can keep our basement dry with a few changes to our front yard and keeping water away from our drive with new pumps.

5 stars!

Jake was efficient and early and gave several options for keeping our home healthy and basement dry.

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