annual inspection
Derek Hall was very knowledge, helpful with ideas, and cleaned the dehumidifier filter. He was curious about the ‘turtle’, he never saw one before and wondered why we had/needed it.
Drain tile and consultation
Our sales/technition solved a problem and, later, gave advice on about other issues (window wells) that could contribute to water. Jacob is knowledgeable and giving.
Inspection
I was very happy that I called permaseal everyone has been super helpful and today I had my inspection for my basement to find out why it was leaking water. Zack Warren was my inspector. He greeted me with a smile and welcomed all my questions and eased my worries! He was very detail in explaining what was happening and what needed to be done to fix the problem. He didn’t try to up charge me for things I didn’t need and gave me options to help me afford fixing my basement. Thank you Zack and I hope the contractors are as delightful as you were!
Annual maintenance and replacement of broken sump pump cover.
This was a follow up device call to correct an earlier oversight. We also added replacement of the cover.Doug’s call to advise timing of his visit was as promised. He was not aware of the replacement cover need but went the extra mile to get it done. He also put everything back in place and insured there were no leaks. Outstanding detail to everything – we’ll be requesting him to return whenever we need service.
Poly-Level Concrete raising
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)
Overhead Sewer Conversion
Howard was the lead plumber on our overhead sewer conversion. He explained everything he was going to do and how he was going to do it. the entire team worked worked very hard for two days on the project and we found them all appealing and very nice to work with. The only issue is that we had a second plumbing project and due to a last minute scheduling change they sent someone else that had no communication with Howard and unfortunately Howard will be returning to redo the project as it wasn’t completed as presented. We will only work with Howard.

Tom Bednar came over today for my estimate. He was very professional and very thorough. Hope to be able to do business with your company.

basement waterproofing
Alex Morales and Leo Mireles did an outstanding job in my mother’s basement. They arrived on time, were very polite and professional. It was not an easy job and they worked non-stop and very hard for hours. I thought that I would have a mess to clean up but was pleasantly surprised at how they hauled away everything and left it amazingly clean!! Would highly recommend Perma-Seal and especially Alex & Leo!!
Seal a wall crack
Ramon Duran came to my house to do the repair on my cracked basement wall. He was on time, personable, efficient and gave a little extra by recommending and adding gravel to my window wells. He is the kind of workman you would want to let into your home to perform a service.

Repair leak in wall of basement
I was so impressed with the job done by Vicente today. He explained everything he did. The area was immaculately clean when he left… he even remembered to close the windows we opened for improved ventilation and rehung the curtains we took down! Job well done, Vicente. Thank you.
seal leaking cracks in basement walls
Mike T was able to identify the source of the leak in the basement wall very quickly. He presented the possible solutions and advised as to the most efficient and economical fix. The service call was scheduled very easily and we expect the repair to go smoothly. He also noted issues with the window wells in the foundation and I was able to add those repairs to the service call.
Foundation repair, sewer flood control, inspection for possible interior drain tile
Mike Tigge has been an awesome resource for us! We first met him 10 years ago when he inspected our leaky foundation and correctly diagnosed the repairs. Then he helped us after a major flooding problem with an ejector pit and overhead sewer piping to prevent more sewer backups during huge storms. He came out again recently to evaluate our basement for interior drain tile. Mike really knows his stuff, and we’re happy to know him through Permaseal.
Quote for foundation crack repair
We just moved into a house that needed a lot of work done. One of the major projects that we need to tackle is the basement and the foundation crack/sump pump/ and overall getting the basement up to par and in working order. Mike Tigges came out today to provide a quote/consultation and he did an awesome job. We had another appointment scheduled for a competitor later this month and I ended up just cancelling it. He took care of everything! Looking forward to finally checking this project off our huge project list.
Foundation cracks / sloping stairs and sidewalk
John Ferguson came to the house asked lotts of questions and looked at the issues I described and was very informative of the work I needed to correct these issues. He explained the procedures very well and answered all the questions I had. I’m pretty confident Perma Seal will be the solution I was searching for as they are the only company that offered a lifetime warranty on the foundation work being repaired on my home.
Repair of multiple foundation cracks.
Mauriano and Mauro did a great job repairing cracks in my basement foundation. Their work is professional and thorough. I am relieved to have these cracks in the foundation gone. They left the entire work area so clean it was hard to believe all that was done without dirt and dust everywhere. I highly recommend a business that hires men as capable as Maurino and Mauro! Great concern for the customer!
foundation repair
Id like to thank Ramon Duron for his quality in repairing my foundation. great job!
foundation repair
Ramon D.and his assistant JL Duron came to my house on 3/1/19 answering a service call. I had water seepage in basement due to a foun dation crack. They were prompt, finished the job, cleaned up after, and very polite and professional. I would use them again and recommend Perma Seal to all homeowners in need. thank you
Foundation Estimate
Dick F. came out to look at the crack in our foundation that was professionally sealed years ago before we bought our house but was now leaking. He reviewed with us the various ways in which we could have the crack fixed and was clear in his explanation, knowledgeable, and friendly about it. I would recommend working with Perma-Seal.
Foundation repair
I’ve used PermaSeal a few times over the years to repair some foundation cracks. Vicente contacted me prior to arrival and was very polite and punctual, which I greatly appreciated. After a brief discussion with him to better educate myself, he was very open about my repair options and future possibilities should additional work need to be done. After that he went to work and knocked everything out pretty quickly. We reviewed everything that was done and he was on his way. You can’t help but respect a person who comes in, educates you and does his job with great customer service skills. This has become a lot art form. Thank you
Basement seepage and new sump pump hole with sump pump
I had major seepage problems, the crew that came and did the work were excellent. They jackhammered my basement floor and installed a new sump pump basin and sump pump and installed a French drain beneath my foundation. They kept the mess to minimal and worked very hard. I also had 2 minor problems after the work and Permaseal did come back and address them both. My problem is with the salesperson, Jim A. he was very responsive until I signed on the dotted line. I am still waiting to get a paid copy of my invoice and when I signed off on the job at the end of the day the crew chief said that they would come back in spring to finish the outside because my work was being done in the middle of January, sounded fine with me. Now nobody seems be able to verify this and are saying that it is an extra charge, really? I was sold a complete project from start to finish per Jim. Now I can’t even get him to respond. In addition, he gave me poor information on two points of my basement project that could have been major problems if the Permaseal crews had not corrected his direction.
Foundation crack sealant
My patience paid off. The first technician Perma-Seal sent out for service didn’t seem to have a clue of what he was doing. Nothing got done, in part because I felt it best to have another technician do the work. Trusting in the reputation Perma-Seal has established for themselves, I waited it out for another technician at a later date. I was so right!!! I haven’t had a drop of leakage in my basement ever since.
plumbing and foundation repair
Howard installed a new water heater and replaced the ejection pump. He worked professionally, answered questions, and cleaned up the work area.Manuel worked quickly repairing a crack in the basement wall. He remembered working at our home when Perma-seal installed the basement waterproofing. We have a Perma-seal preventative maintenance agreement to ensure we do not have any water problems. We have only had good experiences with the Perma-seal employees.
Consultation and estimate
Jorge Paredes was very professional and answered all my questions and concerns. I decided to go ahead with the repair of foundation cracks. I am looking forward to a dry basement again.
Crawl Space
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.
Crawl Space Encapsulation System
Excellent job by the Perma-Seal team!Chris Hayden did a great job of inspecting my crawl space, reviewing my options and recommending the right solution. In addition, he stopped by on the morning of the installation to review the scope and schedule with me and the installation team.The installation team arrived on time and with all of the materials they needed. The installation was done in a professional manner and they completed the job on time. They did a great job of working around my family and did not disturb my home office business. I have not had a moisture or smell problem in the crawl space since the installation was completed. I will recommend Perma-Seal to anyone needing a crawl space solution!
Crawl Space Encapsulation
A+ for Perma-Seal! They were so likable, courteous and well-mannered when they were in my home. They really went beyond my expectations and everything was as clean as a whistle when they left!
Find source of water
We were both very satisfied with Robert Barscewski, the consultant who came out to figure out why we had some water in our crawl space. The source of the problem was our water pump, it had something stuck near the pump that was preventing it from working. Robert is an honest straight shooter, and we were very satisfied with his prompt service call. We would highly recommend this Perma-Seal company to others. Thank you!
Crawl Space
During heavy rainfalls, I had water that seeped into the crawlspace that eventually would overflow into the house living area. There was no piece of mind knowing heavy rain was coming our way. I had several companies provide several estimates. Perma-Seal had a great way of explaining exactly what the issue was and made the proper recommendation of the work that needed to be done. We recently had flooding in our area due to heavy rains. I was pleased to see that we had not one drop of water seep in the crawlspace. This rainfall confirmed the expertise of Perma-Seal and what a wonderful job they did for me. I highly recommend Perma-Seal to assist with any water seepage problems you may have. This investment pays off in the long run and gives you piece of mind that your home is protected when heavy rains occur.
Crawl Space
Perma-Seal installed interior drain tile in our crawl space. The crew did a great job. They kept the house very clean in the midst of a very messy job. Good price.
Crawl Space
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.
Crawl Space
Duane Swiggum called to confirm he was coming ahead of time and showed up on time to give me an estimate for encapsulating my crawl space. He was very helpful and we will definitely be working with him in the future. Perma-Seal seems like a reputable company thanks to its employees.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
They were here to please and made sure the customer was happy. They were prompt and professional. My husband handles more of the price aspect, so I don’t know what he compared it to. Perma-Seal Basement Systems redid the seal in the crawl space.

sump pump and backup replacement, foundation sealing, cover for window well replacement

replace sump pump seal cracks basement wall.
Ramon D jesus was very effecent and did a very professional crack sealing job and replacing sump pump.
Routine Maintenance
Scheduled routine maintenance call for liners and pumps in both crawlspaces and the replacement filter in dehumidifier. Miguel Guerrero came out and was excellent in taking care of everything and explaining about what he did and he was even able to fit through the small opening to our second crawl space! Excellent work and product and would recommend your company.
Sump Pump and Backup sump pump system
We recently worked with Dick Forcone to get a new Sump Pump and backup system. Dick was great to work with. Very knowledgeable and very thorough with how the Sump pump system worked. Thoroughly explained the installation process and benefits. Dan Weber did the installation. Dan was very professional during the installation which he did in a timely and efficient matter. We have been very pleased with Perma-Seal starting from the initial visit to the installation. I would highly recommend this company.
Install new sump pump and repair basement crack
Manny R. Installed our sump pump and repaired a basement crack. He was very friendly, respectful, informative and professional in every way. Outstanding job, Manny!! Thank you!
Free Estimate
I had Eric come out last week for a free estimate about the water/sump pump continuously running in my basement and I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE!!!! Eric was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful in diagnosing the cause of my water concerns. He called me directly to confirm his arrival time that day, showed up on time, and honestly couldn’t have been more helpful. As it turned out- I did not have the water problem I thought I did, and did not need to schedule service, but you can believe that I will be calling Permaseal AND ERIC (!) next time I do! Thank you for running such a professional and compassionate operation.
Sump Pump Inspection
Romy came out today to inspect our sump pump and install a cover over the basin. He was very thorough and explained everything. He took his time and did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend Perma-Seal and Romy!
Annual Sump System Mainenance
Gene showed up promptly for our annual inspection maintenance. He notice that the pumps were too close together and the PVC from the pump area was crooked. He straightened everything out, and the pump is quieter and working nicely. He was professional and courteous, and did an efficient job. Highly recommended.
Sump Pump Work
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.
Basement Waterproofing
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!!!!
Waterproofing
Permaseal completed a couple jobs for me. First, they installed exterior drain tiles to fix a seepage issue. Then, they solved a sewer backup problem by installing a flood control system in my front yard. From the salesman to the plumber to the crew, all are hard working and professional. They even saved me $$ by digging around the sidewalk rather than breaking the concrete which would have cost extra to replace. All in all, these guys are expensive but well worth it.
Foundation Repair
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 Permaseal 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 Permaseal 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.
Concrete Lifting
Crew was very friendly and courteous and did an excellent job with clean up. The quality of work was as expected (Great)
Leveling sidewalk
This is an update to a previous review I had written. When I wrote my review I was very unsatisfied with the job that was done, shortly after writing my review I received a call from Permaseal asking about why I was so dissatisfied with the job. I explained how it was not fixed like we were told it would be. They offered to come out and check it out and redo it. Mark and his crew showed up today and redid the sidewalk and it looks really great, it is nice and level now. I have to say I never expected them to make it right because so many companies now don’t seem to care anymore. My hat is off to Permaseal as far as I am concerned now they are a very good company, they stand behind their work. Mark (I’m sorry I didn’t get his last name) was wonderful about making everything right, very professional and extremely courteous. If you need good quality work done don’t hesitate to contact Permaseal, they are one of few companies that really stands behind their product and work.
Poly level
Richard was awesome for my estimate. Helped explain in vivid detail of process of poly level and even video streamed with the workers to determine how and where to lift. Highly appreciated and recommended.
sump pump maintenance and sale of battery back up sump pump
Allen Laundie was efficient in checking to ensure that my sump pump was functioning properly in this bitter cold weather. He also was thorough in explaining to me the importance of having a back up sump pump which will be installed next week.
Preventive maintenance
Dustin did the inspection at our house. He arrived on time, was pleasant and personable. He explained what he did and offered us some recommendations. I would highly recommend him.
Sump pump preventative maintenance and replacement
Allen Laundie was our technician and he was a pleasure to have working on our home. He was friendly and polite upon arrival and explained his background and expertise. He evaluated both of the sump pumps in our small condo building. When one was found to be not functioning, he was able to replace it on the spot, which was really helpful and convenient! The other, while functioning, was old, so he provided the information I needed to bring back to our small condo association to consider replacement. In addition, he revised his estimate for backup pumps down after evaluating our existing set up- when does that happen? Because of our location, the completely dry condition of our existing pumps and because we haven’t had water in the basement ever, he determined we could safely go with a smaller backup than is the usual recommendation, which would really save us money! We were unable to do the camera exam of the sewer line because of an extremely old catch basin set up, but Allen explained how we could do the exam at another time if we had access to one of the basement unit’s stacks. Allen was great to work with, polite and friendly, and provided me with a lot of valuable information. I would be happy to work with him and Perma Seal in the future!
New Pump and Backup
Doug was a true professional. He came out and provided me with my annual maintenance. He alerted me the Pump and Backup were the original and could be on borrowed time. There was no pressure to purchase, but I decided to replace the pump and back-up. Doug efficiently replaced all components within the hour and answered all my questions. Several weeks late as I was getting ready to file my bill I did have a question on the itemization. I dreaded making the call because my experience with other companies is once the sale is done its typically Esta La Vista, I definitely had low expectations. To my surprise Doug called me back within 5 minutes and patiently answered my questions on the billing. I was very happy with Doug’s service and follow-up and reaffirms that Perma-Seal is the gold standard for your waterproofing and plumbing needs.
maintenance check of encapsulated basement, pump replacement
Service technician ‘Dustin’ (sorry, don’t know his last name) provided fast friendly service and good information. He promoted only those products we need. Excellent work! Date of Service: 10/15/18.
pending job on honeycombing a basement crack and sump pump replacement
Dave C was engaging and easy to talk to. He walked me through reasons why we’re seeing the seepage/leakage we’re seeing, what Perma-seal would do to solve this issue (including products used), what maintenance would be required, told me about the fantastic life-time internal structure guarantee on their seal, and worked with me on the affordable pricing and payment plan. Told me about the great Black Friday promotion going on now too (5% off everything on payment in-full and same-as-cash payment options).
annual system check-up/maintenance and pump replacements
Just had Mark Lemenager perform an annual maintenance check-up on our Perma-Seal system. He noted some issues for us to think about and gave us options to consider for resolving the problem. We was punctual as well as considerate, efficient and orderly in the performance of his work.
Electrical work
I can highly recommend Matt Tomfohrde, Supervising Electrician at Perm-Seal, for his excellent electrical work today, both servicing connections for three low voltage landscape lights as well as adding an outlet behind a painting on the wall above our grand piano. Our words were ‘Oh, we can’t believe how beautiful the painting looks, lighted from above!’ Thank you, Matt!
Basement Waterproofing
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!
Preventative Maitenance Service
Our system was installed a year ago. I got a call from Perma-Seal advising me to have my annual inspection, cleaning and evaluation of the system (the first one is free!) The tec that came was Mark Lemenager. He was on time, he did a thourough evaluation of the system and cleaned some of the equipment. He was polite, he answered all of my questions, and he explained the importance of a yearly check up. I dealt with many workman during my rehab, and I must say that the staff at PermaSeal were the most proffessional.
