Customer Reviews and Testimonials

5 stars for Dylan!!

Christian was awesome. Went over all of my concerns and even installed a battery backup pump while he was here.

George Heller was great with estimate on our concrete – thank you for your great service !

Tomas was very professional, he explained everything every step of the way. He took his time to understand my concern, and he fully explained his process to make the repair. Tomas also showed me the finished product and explained how he accomplished the repair and what I should expect next.

Jim G came out today for an inspection. He was very helpful. He showed up on time and was very professional.

Anthony was very professional, was very thorough with his inspection

Thank you permaseal for quick response to our flooded basement! George H came out and we are installing an interior drainage system. Much appreciated

Jim G came out to my home today. He was very professional. He explained how a crack repair isn’t going to give me total peace of mind. He showed what a full drainage system would look like and cost.

David Pate & Jose Deleon did a great job explaining everything!

Enrique M did a fantastic thorough job. He was polite and professional. He let me look in the attic after each step was finished. He also installed a dehumidifier. He helped me decide where to place it which was not discussed with the salesman.

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.

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.

Always had great service! – I had a great experience with Perma-Seal,both times that I used them. They repaired a leak in the basement of my previous home 17 years ago, and they did work in my current home in the fall of 2009, and I have never had water in my basement after their repairs. The estimators are always very thorough and make sure that I understand the process and cost involved, and the crew always delivers. Highly recommended!

Had my foundation repaired – I just had my foundation repaired by them. They worked very quickly for the middle of winter and I was very impressed by the way they worked and surprised me by the outcome.

I felt dumb because I didn’t know what I needed for my house. My front door had a gap at the bottom and its made my utility bills higher. I was compaining to a guy friend and he said call Perma-Seal. They were very helpful and explained every thing perfectly. Not only that but they were able to fix that and a problem with my foundation I didnt know I had.

Excellent service and professionalism from start to finish, not to mention the lifetime guarantee! Will continue to recommend this company to friends!

We own a home built in 1928 and had noticed wall cracks in one corner area of the house which kept reappearing. Having experience in residential housing, I decided that we had settling issues in on corner of our house. I knew of Perma-Seal from listening to Lou Manfredini and thought I would give them a call to have a look at what was going on. The sales rep agreed with my diagnosis and we scheduled the work. The price quote was fixed and was right in alignment with what I anticipated. The workers showed up as planned and were very knowledgeable about foundations. In the process, we found that the foundation had been poured without footings! (I guess that’s how they did things in those days?) That was not a problem for the push-post pinning system that Perma-Seal uses. They proceeded to install the underpinnings, patch the concrete cuts, and clean up. Would I use them again? Absolutely! In particular, if we have other foundation issues, they will be my first call.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anthony and Avery shared a lot of great information, and were very personable

Hi

Antonio, was at our house today and did a very thorough job servicing our sump pump. I am not at all that familiar with the ins and out out of our sump pump so it was great to have him here to look at everything, clean everything and explain everything that was going on to me. He did a great job and was very pleasant. He also gave me options on our maintenance agreement, which was very helpful. I have not made a decision if I will extend or not, but I have the information. Thanks again for the great service

Mary

Paul Warner did a thorough inspection of my basement, sump pumps, basement defender, and exterior drainage. He was very helpful and willing to answer my questions about maintenance/replacement of the pumps and systems.

Dylan made sure to explain every part of the checklist he gave me.

Friendly and knowledgeable. So thankful for Jon’s review!

Thank you Dylan for explaining the warranty swap process. Hopefully we don’t have to go that route.

Christian performed an annual check-up on my premises. He pointed out issues that needed attention in a very professional manner and explained what items needed immediate attention and those items that could wait until a later time.

Dylan was super informative and nice we had several questions and he answered them with absolutely 0 hesitation. God bless you

Jon did a great job!

Thank you Christian for changing our old pump. Very efficient and friendly.
