A roofer doesn't patch the ceiling where the drip lands. Neither do we. Where the water shows up is rarely where it gets in — and the fix only holds if it goes where the water is.
(412) 265-7444 Questions? Ask the crew, not a call centerFour steps, in that order, on every job for thirty-six years. The order matters: nothing gets priced until it has been walked, and nothing gets installed until it has been priced — on paper, in your hand.
We start outside: grading, downspouts, where the lot sends its water. Then the basement — walls, floor, joints, whatever drain or pump is already there. You see what we see, in plain words.
Before we leave: where the water gets in, what stops it, what that costs. One number for one system, sized to the house. No travel fee inside it and no clock on it. Decide when you're ready.
Most systems go in over one to a few days depending on the house. Our crew, our work, and a basement left cleaner than the one we walked into. You get a walk-through of the finished system too.
Lifetime, for as long as you own the home, in writing. A system that fails in year six was never a fix, which is why the guarantee doesn't have a year six.
Not every basement needs everything. The walk-through decides which of these your house actually needs, and the estimate prices only that.
A trench along the base of the wall, perforated pipe in clean gravel, tied to a sump. It catches the water at the joint where it comes in and carries it out. The workhorse fix for a damp, leaky basement or crawlspace.
The basin, the pump and the discharge, sized to the property, the water table and the drainage it feeds. Where the collected water actually goes — and keeps going during the heavy rain that matters.
Cracks, settlement and walls that have begun to move, on homes and commercial buildings. We find the cause before we fix the symptom, so the repair stands the test of time instead of reopening.
For the basement that is never wet and never dry: the damp that rots framing, feeds mold and makes the whole house smell. We find where it's coming from and shut it down at the source.
Systems someone else put in that have stopped doing their job. We work out why — a clogged drain, a dead pump, a wall that was never addressed — and repair it rather than start over where we don't have to.
Every system above carries it. Written terms come with the estimate, so you know exactly what is covered before a dollar changes hands — and for how long: as long as you own the house.
Fair and honest pricing is a promise on our website because it was a promise on the first job. Here is what it means in practice.
The estimate visit costs nothing anywhere in our radius. It is not baked into the price later, either.
One system for one house. If the walk-through says you need a pump and not a drain, that is what gets priced.
The number on the paper is the number. Unnecessary costs are how other people get cheaper on the estimate.
There is no price that expires when we drive away. Compare us. We have been compared for 36 years.
Because water under pressure finds the next weak spot. Paint and sealants hold back a damp wall for a season; a drain gives the water somewhere to go, permanently. Where a sealant is the right answer, we'll say so — it is cheaper for you and we would rather be right than busy.
It depends on the house and the system. Most jobs run from a day to a few days. Your estimate names the expected duration for yours, and the crew confirms it before starting.
Cutting a trench in a concrete floor is not quiet or dust-free. We contain it, we haul it, and we leave the basement clean when we go. Tell us what is down there and we plan around it.
You call, we come back. That is the lifetime guarantee, and it is written down in the terms that come with your estimate, for as long as you own the home.
Yes — foundation and waterproofing work on commercial property as well as homes. The walk-through is the same, the paper is the same, and so is the guarantee.
Book the walk-through. No travel fee, a written price before you decide anything, and a lifetime guarantee if you do.
