Thank you George H for getting my crack fixed the next day ! Quick service thank you!

Great communication skills very professional and Informative

From start to finish, my experience with Perma-Seal was top-notch. First off, Matt was very professional and thorough in assessing the overall situation and was excellent at explaining why the things needing repair had gotten to be a problem, and how the recommended repairs would fix things and keep them from happening again. As it turned out, neither he or I had noticed the sump pump problem, and when I finally saw it some days later, Matt came out on a Sunday morning to figure it out and get that included in the other work Perma-Seal was going to be doing.

On the day the work was scheduled to be done, Marcos and his crew of 5 showed up right on time and got right to work. Everyone was professional, polite and happy to answer the questions I had – which truth be told were not many because the crew had given me detailed explanations of what they’d be doing up front. It was easy to tell by watching these guys that they were well trained and knew exactly what they were doing. They were also very hard working and got everything done in one day – which was surprising to me given all they had to do, but apparently not to them. Overall, I’d be happy to have a crew like this one to do any work I needed done.

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.

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.

We had foundation leakage in our basement and Perma-Seal installed a french drain. 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 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.

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.

Jim G. Was really great. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Answered my questions and explained all the processes.

Our visit with Perma-seal Representative, Cecil was very professional, informative, and helpful in understating how the process works. He is very knowledgeable about the product and addressed concerns of areas required that I did not initially notice as it was not initially visible. Provide quote immediately after measuring, assessing our needs and answered our questions. Great person to work with. Thank you!

Cecil came out and provided us with a plan and explained how the process worked. Excellent service provided by him and would recommend him and Permaseal to others.

Cecil Payne did an excellent job in reviewing and explaining our concrete leveling issues. Cecil satisfactorily answered all of our questions in a professional and courteous manner. As a result, we plan to award this work to Perma-Seal.

Excellent!

Adam, Tyler and Javier are great guys and do great work!

Concrete repair (drop of over 4”) between patio and house.

Repair was needed for over 30 years!

Finally made the call to Permaseal.

Timing was perfect because we will be able to pass guarantee along to next homeowner when we retire in 4 years!

Prior to today’s appointment I received a mailing from Perma-seal that provided details of the various issues that a home can experience, some of which I learned listening to Roy Spencer on WGN radio shows. I was sent email reminders of my appt which even included a reminder to ask about current discounts!
Met with Jim Gannon who did a thorough inspection of my home’s foundation and brick issues as well as rerouting gutter drainage. Jim was respectful of my time as a caregiver and provided me with his findings and recommendations, including video examples of the work to make sure all of my questions were answered. I look forward to having the work completed knowing the improvements will only add to the value of my home for years to come. (and provide another 5 stars afterward)

This service is highly recommended. We got our concrete patio lifted and we had some questions about the results. They did not hesitate to send someone out to adjust it and make it completely perfect. The crew was very knowledgeable, easy to talk to when figuring out the best approach, and completed the job to our satisfaction like true professionals. In this day and age, customer service is the most valuable commodity, and these guys are cornering the market on it…thanks so much! (Repairs done 8-16-21)

Mike Tigges was a pleasure to work with on a quote for raising several sections of the concrete sidewalk leading to our front porch. He arrived exactly on time, took the time to understand what I was trying to do, and he offered several additional helpful suggestions. I signed the contract on the spot which earned a 10% discount. I hope the actual work is as professional as the sales consultant!

My driveway had been sinking very slowly since we moved in 15 yrs ago. I assumed paying a lot of money to have my driveway replaced was the only option, until a neighbor told me about Perma-seal. I was a little skeptical, but his driveway looked great. I got an estimate from Perma-seal and the work was done in Nov 2020. I was home when the work was done and watched the entire process. I was completely impressed with the professionalism, work ethic and friendliness of the Perma-seal team which was led by Xavier Esteban, and was especially impressed with the results. The driveway slabs were 2-3′ below the garage floor and they are now exactly level with the garage floor with a beautiful expansion joint seal. The Perma-seal team could not have done a better job. I asked a TON of questions to understand how it all worked and Xavier and his partner were interested in explaining how everything worked. They really seemed to like what they were doing. They said every job is different and is a challenge. A really excellent job by a great team. I highly recommend Perma-seal.

Avery was awesome today. He was very thorough with his inspection and explained why we needed a new battery.

Jake was very helpful in explaining benefits of crack repairs, dehumidifiers, caring for my water heater, and the benefit of insulating and sealing the band joist for my basement. I appreciate his care and professionalism and hope Keegan King is happy and successful in his new career.

Niko was here to do my initial PMA service. He was very efficient and informative. He was very thorough in his inspection. He was very helpful in educating me in how to maintain/trouble shoot my sump pump. He was also helpful in assisting me with setting up the basement defender app.

Jake was courteous professional and efficient recommending replacing the water heater from 2013 to help keep the home healthy and basement dry.

Jake was professional and conversational appreciated him catching the issue with my water heater that the plumber did not catch. Thank you Perma-Seal.
A firm I count on and they always they come through!

We love Anthony! All options thoroughly explained, and he is very knowledgeable.
