Customer Reviews and Testimonials

Antonio, our technician, did a great job. He was prompt, professional and very friendly.

Niko inspected my pumps and foundation. Also explained findings on foundation and brickwork. He inspected the outside foundation as well. Recommendations provided on how to improve including the perma dry system which I will consider next year. He also, identified some brick and crack issues and recommended I contact BBB for a construction rep. as Permaseal does not perform that work. Thank you for a thorough examination of my home and the recommendations. I will be in touch in the future for the Permadry system. Very thorough review. Much appreciated.

One thing I can say for certain is Dylan has excellent work etiquette. I’ve never had anyone come in and actually introduce themselves and have a nice conversation. Usually they just go straight to the crawl space and try to sell me something. Also thank you for explaining the basement defender to me, sounds a lot better than testing it my self.

Christian was very helpful. He answered all my questions. He was very informative. It was pleasure working with him.

Robert L. came out and did an inspection for me regarding the many concerns that I had regarding seepage, waterproofing and yard drainage. He was very professional and offered several solutions/options to address these issues. I was able to book service within one weeks’ time. High praise!

Christian and Niko were efficient and communicated arrival time well.

Anthony and Avery were very professional, timely, thorough and very pleasant to work with. As a Permaseal client they assessed all my sump pumps, basement and exterior and provided me with excellent suggestions to enhance and protect my property. They were very knowledgeable to educate me on the options and clearly presented me a path forward to further safeguard my home. Thank you so much Anthony and Avery!

Dylan was informative about my pumps I didn’t really know the specs of them and lifespan. Hopefully I get him next year I don’t like getting new people.

Jake was courteous and professional explained the benefit of burying our sump discharge as well as having back up systems in place.

Jake efficiently helped me diagnose where water was coming in to my homes basement and got the repair scheduled.

Did the job quickly, neatly, and at a fair price. Easy to work with, pleasant to deal with. Finished basement a few months ago, no water or seepage since.

We have heard Perma-Seal advertisements for years particularly impressed with the transferable warrantee. The salesperson oversold the service because I didn’t need any convincing. We were very happy with the work they did – initially and the follow up for the bubbler pot outside. They are fast and efficient – respectful and thorough and clean. I recommend it to everyone and if we ever move to another house, the first thing we will do is call Perma-Seal.

They were very competitive in pricing, I got more for less than the other top basement waterproofer. We needed the interior drain system, and got our cracks filled in the walls and a bubbler discharge line, and still saved [money] over the other bids. We did get 3 other bids, and chose them as an established company, and when they said it would be done in one day we signed on the line. The date of the work was about 2 months out, which gave us plenty of time to clear out years of stuff stored downstairs, and we had to move the washer and dryer and slop sink or laundry tub, we did our own disconnect and re connect of the laundry tub, and saved more money ( they add charges for a plumber to come out) and we moved anything else we did not want to move away from the walls, and we covered everything with tarps. They arrived on time, actually early,and did not waste a minute getting to work. It will be loud and you will clean up dust, but considering the job done, it was not that bad. I did not get the battery back up pump, but may in the future, it is recommended, but my neighbors don’t have them, and we have a generator in case of power outages. Seepage control is not sewer back up control, so it that is your issue, you will need to have another type of plumbing work done. It has been a pleasure to not have to step over seepage trails, it has been a wet week or 2 here, and not a drop of water to be found! Most towns have a rebate for waterproofing or flood proofing, and I will be taking advantage of that too.

Excellent quality and service, you get what you pay for! I had Perma-Seal out in March 2013 to repair 5 cracks in my foundation and replace both sump pumps before the big flood of April 2013. The salesman was smart and courteous, he showed me exactly how they would make the repairs and exactly how much it would cost. I did get two other estimates on the repairs before I went with Perma-Seal, one estimate was higher and one estimate was lower. I called the Perma-Seal salesman back and he scheduled the repairs for me. The repair crew was on time and spent several hours making the repairs in my basement. They left my basement cleaner than it was! I made it through the big flood of April 2013 without a drop of water in my basement. Perma-Seal was absolutely worth the investment!

After having 2 major basement floods and a few minor ones over the years, I decided to throw in the towel and give Perma-Seal a call. A rep came out a few days later and assessed my situation and gave me an estimate on the spot. The price was lower than I thought it would be. The salesman was very professional and ‘no pressure’. He did inform us, though, that they were so busy they wouldn’t be able to install the system until the first week of October and this was the last week of June, 2009! I kept my fingers crossed during the weeks prior to the install that we wouldn’t have anymore flooding rains. The crew came on the first of October and was finished the next afternoon. I’m writing this on July 24, 2010, after over 7 inches of rain fell on Chicago in less than 12 hours. I’m very pleased to say that my basement remained bone dry. It’s so dry that my dehumidifier didn’t even turn on. THANK YOU, PERMA-SEAL! I waited to write this review because I wanted to wait and see if the system could handle an Armageddon-ish rainstorm and it passed with flying colors! My poor neighbors are all bailing out their basements and I feel sorry for them. Needless to say I’m overjoyed with the Perma-Seal system in my basement. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because the crew left a bit of a mess for me to clean up, mainly concrete dust.

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.

Everything was great!! Very Professional. Price was MUCH less than I expected it to be. Would very highly recommend.

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!

We had a great experience using Perma-Seal. The sales guy was really professional, took plenty of time to explain why the water seepage happens, showed us a really well designed computer presentation offered solutions and then followed up with a written bid. We compared 3 other companies and checked out references before having the work done by Perma-Seal.

I live in Tinley Park and I called Perma-Seal because my basement was leaking after every rain and they came out and gave a price quote. It was a lot of money to spend so I called another waterproofing company to get a second opinion. They was only dollars difference but there attitude and willingness to fix the problem made me choose them over the other people. They were all so nice and professional and worked quickly. We had our first big rain yesterday and there is no water in my basement.

Jon Groen was very professional and explained things as he went through. He provided excellent service.

Jesse was great. Answered all my questions. Very informative. Thanks

Jesse was very good and gave me good advice.

When Austin Reed came to check our sump pump system he could not have been more professional and courtesy as well as patient and persistent. He was trying to identify the exact source of our problem with the ejector pump. What a great asset he is to your team!!

I was expecting to replace my backup batteries for my sump pump backup system. I was also getting my annual service done.

Antonio informed me that my batteries did not need to be replaced. I appreciate his honesty.

5 stars great work

The technician Antonio was very polite, professional, and prompt.He explained everything he would be doing so that I understood what to expect during his visit.
