Dick was very professional

Perfecto did a great job! Very professional. Answered all of my questions.

George H actually went into our crawlspace when no other contractor would – thank you for working with us !

I’m a carpenter by trade and I’m very impressed with the way Perm-Seals company is ran. I scheduled my appointment 2 weeks ago and the communication was excellent! They reached out to me the day before to confirm both a text and a phone call. It’s hard these days to actually talk to a person and get something done. Dave came here today and explained everything to me and all my options. I was $200 dollars off comparing my price in my head to Perma-Seals. They did my neighbors house a few years back so I know the quality is there. No doubt they’ll be fixing my basement soon. Thank you for your time Dave, pleasure doing business with Perma-Seal.

Christian came and identified our issue immediately. Looking forward to stopping this water from coming in our basement.

Christian gave us a fair price to level our front walkway. And it’s getting done tomorrow.

Anthony Modica took his time to make sure his inspection and recommendations were accurate. Did a fantastic job explaining all the different options for solutions to me. Very knowledgeable!

Tomas and his partner did an excellent job . Very pleased with the service, also very informative.

Had work done in 2018. The work was wonderful. I have not had any seepage problems ever since they had done the work. I have scheduled an appointment to have additional work done to my house, because I trust him to give me the best estimate in to him. Peace of mind with their work. Thank you once again, Perma Seal.

Brian did a great job locating the source of the water leak in the basement.

I want to thank the guys who were here on-time and responsive. They arrived and completed the job, cleaned the space and followed-up after the work. We had record rain the following night and I was extremely concerned. I did not get any water in my basement AT ALL! My spouse and I are so happy as it comes with a life-time warranty. I would recommend this company immediately. Great job and keep up the great work.

The team of Perma-Seal employees who oversaw and completed this project were impressive from start to finish. After visiting my home they explained in great detail what had to be done to prevent water and sewer backups from heavy storms. The staff scheduled and kept all appointments needed to plan the actual work, started it on the promised date and finished the many steps involved in the scheduled three days. And the company provides post project services when needed. I look forward to flood free days.

The best!!!
Resolved all issues with creative problem solving. Many years of experience by the gentleman who did the work (Aurilio?) was evident.
Would highly recommend.

My husband and I entered into a contract to purchase a 1922 Chicago bungalow. We and our real estate agent were concerned because we all saw what we thought might be evidence of water seepage, and we did not know if it was present or past. Our home inspector found six foundation cracks in the basement but ultimately did not make much of it and suggested an additional gutter drain spout and grading dirt away from the foundation. We were not comfortable with our inspector’s recommendations and contacted Perma-Seal. The homeowners were very strict about accessing the house. Michael Kulis made sure to accommodate the homeowners’ requirements, arrived on time, and immediately got to work. He was very thorough, as well as being informative throughout. Ultimately Michael found eleven foundation cracks as well as evidence of past water seepage and present infiltration. He prepared three proposals to remedy the problems and, because we intended to live in the house for years to come, we chose the middle proposal to set our minds at ease for the future. We presented a request to the sellers for a credit at closing which would enable us to have Perma-Seal correct the foundation problems after closing, but the sellers refused and we were able to get out of the contract. Thank you, Michael Kulis, for your professionalism and thoroughness. We were able to avoid some real unwanted problems.

The initial quote process was fast, friendly, and painless. As for the work itself, Perma-Seal arrived on time and quickly had the fix in place. I’ve waited over a year to write the review just to make sure, but so far it’s been dry as a bone down there. Upon initial inspection it looks like the previous owner attempted their own fix prior to this, but clearly that didn’t work out too well! My only gripe (minor) is that it took a month between the time I said ‘go’ and their availability to do the work. I guess that speaks to the companies popularity though, and being busy is good for business.

Mr. M. Kulis is very professional. He gave me an honest review of my water problem in my basement. He gave me a number of options to correct my problem. I am very grateful and I feel like I’m a little more educated in how to proceed.

Mike was very knowledgeable and thorough when determining the cause of the water coming I to our basement. He took the time to explain anything I had questions on.

Our Perma-Seal Certified Consultant Michael Kulis came to access our home basemant’s leak issues today. Michael was highly profesional, extreme knowledgeable and courteous. Michael listen to all of our concerns and then provided the very best in class customer service to address our needs. We are repeat Perma-Seal customers. Several years ago I called on them to fix my parents basemant water leak issues and the company did an OUTSTANDING JOB at my parent’s house. When I discover leaks in my basemant I knew what company to reach out to. That was Perma-Seal. Mike Thank you very much for taking care of our family today. You represent your company very well. We already have recommended you to our friends. Loyal customer.Manny C

I am delighted with the work and the results. I was sorry my house foundation needed the work, but the workers and the work they did is outstanding!

Phillip gave us a 5 out of 5 stars for the work our team did repairing his foundation wall crack on home located on Mustang Court in Streamwood. Our client report card shows:The office staff answered promptly and was friendly and courteous. 5The office staff communicated with me effectively. 5

Blas from Perma-Seal repaired a crack for Vicki R. in Bartlett, IL. Vicki gave Blas and the crew a perfect rating.

Jamie from Perma-Seal performed a service call on a visible crack in the wall for Eric S. Eric was ecstatic about the work done and gave the crew the best overall ratings possible.

We appreciated the fact that Perma-Seal was committed to timely follow through on the basic elements of my job. The job included 7 metal anchors fastened to the inside basement wall and 7 anchored in the back yard so that they can be tightened to keep my wall in place. I was concerned about the appearance but I used beadboard with a 4 ledge and placed framed photos on the ledge that can be removed immediately to tighten the anchor nuts. The wall looks great! – Vern M.

I was very pleased with everything Perma-Seal had to offer. Everyone worked fast and professionally.

We called to get a concerning crack checked, and everything went very easily. The service man came at a convenient time, was thorough in his inspection, and we received an economical bid. Overall a great experience.

Technician was very courteous and professional. He explained what work would be done and summarized everything before leaving.

They had to do a lot of work to fix my block foundation with lifting and straightening. Now I have the most solid foundation in the neighborhood. They did the work fast and cleaned up without leaving a big mess.

Perma-Seal arrived on time on the designated date to perform the contracted services. All of the employees were very professional and knew their jobs very well. The work was performed in the allotted time frame and very little mess was left when you consider that a jackhammer was used, gravel for the drain was moved inside, and then fresh concrete was mixed and poured to cover the trench. I was very pleased with the work and have had no seepage since the work was done. It’s great that the work has a lifetime warranty and is transferable to a new owner should I ever sell my home. Perma-Seal is a very well run organization and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

Crew was very friendly and courteous and did an excellent job with clean up. The quality of work was as expected (Great)

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.

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.

Jon was very helpful and informative

Nico was a

Niko was a phenomenal service technician that was well educated in all that he had done and pointed out of potential situations.

Niko was great. Super professional and helpful. Nice guy too!

I appreciated the kindness of Dylan and how he explained things because I don’t know much about sump pumps.

Niko answered all my questions and explained everything clearly. Iwish all service providers were as knowledgeable as he is!

Jake was polite and efficient helping us diagnose an issue with our sewer system and keep our basement healthy and dry 5 stars!

Prevention Maintenance on Dehumidifier installed last year and previous year waterproofing and water heater installed.

Tyler was the rep who did the inspection. Tyler went over with me the process and if I had any concerns which he should note. I told him it gets extremely cold in the basement & during the cold weather my heat goes on more frequently than it did previously. He actually took the time and explained all the assets of the dehumidifier. The person who installed the unit, did not go over everything with me.

Outside, he went over the areas of his findings. He understood I cancelled having the downspouts buried last year, due to my sprinkler system. He had a video showing me how PAS could fix cracks with poly level. He was patient with me as I wanted to thoroughly understand the necessity of having this done. After his video’s/drawing pictures showing I understood the process.

Overall, I felt Tyler did an exceptional job. He is very acknowledgeable, patient. You are lucky to have a dedicated technician! I hope next year he does my inspection again.

Excellent service! Thoughtful and thorough, took the time to explain and answer questions. Much appreciated. Go Red Sox!

Jake was courteous and informative about how to best keep my basement dry and my home healthy.
