The salesman, Josh, did not enter the crawlspace, just looked with a flashlight and measured using house dimensions. I had CT Basements provide a quote 10-12 years earlier for the same work and the salesman entered the crawlspace in a Tvek suit, mask and goggles. That is what I would have expected from my recent quote. I had to request that he view the actual space up close before I would sign the contract. Josh then had a technician come by the next day and crawl throughout the space. I signed the contract and the work was done well. The salesperson, did minimal work and was not professional.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the salesperson’s approach left you feeling the initial visit could have been more thorough. We’re glad a technician fully assessed the space the next day and that the work was completed well. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions or needs.

Expensive but worth it. Gus and his team did some waterproofing in our basement that had some leaks. It held up 100% in the recent flash floods. Everything that they do is high quality

Over the years I have bought great, reliable product from them and have received excellent service. Yesterday Nizier Camacho did an outstanding job servicing everything basement / not only the triple-safe pump systems, but also a dehumidifier and 2 air purifiers. Thank you!

Prince (service guy name) was awesome. Explained everything that was possibly needed and took his time with thorough cleaning. He was professional and no pressure to add services. Gave us nice call 20 mins or so before arriving. Left nothing behind, no mess.
