Nizier did a great job servicing my system. He was friendly and took the time to answer all my questions about the system and he thoroughly tested all the components to make sure that they were working as they were designed to do. The appointment was a very positive customer experience and I would recommend CTBS for anybody who's looking for this type of installation or service.

Honestly, one of the BEST Service calls iCan ever remember. The tech, Bruce (iThink) was incredibly knowledgable, helpful & informative. I felt like iWas in good hands, and he really went the extra mile to prove it. We had flooding in the basement, due to tremendous rain as well as a shot sump pump. He replaced the pump, explaining each step, and then helped with placement of fans & dehumidifiers, as well as filter cleaning for max efficiency. He was not rushed or harried, and explained in understandable terms. Friendly, trustworthy & genuine Nice Guy! We need people like this, and hope/trust he is a reflection on the company he works with. Bravo & Thanks!

I'm very pleased with the annual maintenance service for my sump pump system. The service tech was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I'm glad that it's done and everything looked good. Keeping the water out of my garage has been a huge relief .

Had the system installed. Error msg 2 months after warranty runs out. Never given a quote to repair. Returned 6 weeks later with a large bill and THEY RETURNED SOMEBODY ELSE’s UNIT! Not even our unit. Took a photo of the serial number when they took ours away. UNbelievable. Do not do business with this company.

Vin Orsini came to give me my estimate and could not have been nicer or more helpful. He wasn’t pushy, and gave me straightforward answers to my questions.
