Nicholas Liguras as very professional and informative regarding my basement issues.

Austin Keen was on-time, professional and very easy to work with. He explained everything in easy to understand detail. The installation of my Basement Defender back-up pump was fast and clean. Austin made setting up my cell phone connection very easy and now I feel secure and worry free!

He also gave me wonderful advice about the area in my backyard where the Permaseal ‘bubbler’ deposits the water from my foundation.

Thank you Austin!

He was prompt in his arrival.
Mr. Liguras made sure I understood everything he was telling and showed me. Very patient he was due to the fact this was a very scary situation for me, I felt comfortable with the consultation, meaning I didn’t feel like I was being bamboozled.

Manny came by yesterday to put in the electric for the outside pump for the flood control system. He explained what he was doing, where the conduit was being run. Did an excellent job. Installed the alarm system for the outside system and told us what to do if the alarm did happen to go off. Thumbs up.

Sean was very smart. I give him and company 5 stars. I have used them in past and using them now for my garage. Thanks!

Very professional explained everything needed

Sean was informative and let me know process and answered all my questions.

Excellent workmanship, courteous and knowledgeable workmen. Pedro R., Jose’ and Joey arrived on time, worked efficiently and left the work-site as clean as when they began. I recommend Perma Seal to anyone who needs help with their home repair. Additionally, a “shout-out” to Bob S. (Sales Rep) for his representation and explanation of how Perma Seal can solve my foundation “issues” in a way that was less costly than the competition. They did what they said they would do! Nice to deal with a company that follows-thru with their promises.

Sean did a good job; He was awesome; Very knowledge.

Cecil came out to see us today and was an absolute gem! Our house is sloping/slanted, and we’ve had several people out to look at it. Generally, they’ve all said things like, “you’ve got an old house – they just do this,” or otherwise trying to tell us it’s acceptable or not an issue. Cecil, on the other hand, actually took out some tools and measured! He had a laser level; he called a colleague for a second opinion and explained the process to us if we decide to go forward. More than anything, I trust Cecil. It’s easy enough to find someone who has the ‘technical chops’, but to find someone you trust, that’s quite a bit rarer in my experience.

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.

I would like to recognize the hard work and dedication of Lisa Kapoun and John Ferguson. Their willingness to put in the extra effort to assist with my foundation repair project was unmatched. Lisa had to complete a ton of paperwork to satisfy the lender needs for this real estate deal. John would return phone calls on Sundays, even respond on Father’s Day. John put everyone at ease with his knowledge and easy to understand explanation of the project. Lisa and John gave me as a seller great confidence in PermaSeal. In turn, they gave our buyer an equal amount of confidence in moving forward. I’m convinced the sale of the property would not have happened without Lisa and John at the helm. I am forever grateful to these two PermaSeal employees and will recommend their services to any and all in the future.

Prior to today’s appointment I received a mailing from Perma-seal that provided details of the various issues that a home can experience, some of which I learned listening to Roy Spencer on WGN radio shows. I was sent email reminders of my appt which even included a reminder to ask about current discounts!
Met with Jim Gannon who did a thorough inspection of my home’s foundation and brick issues as well as rerouting gutter drainage. Jim was respectful of my time as a caregiver and provided me with his findings and recommendations, including video examples of the work to make sure all of my questions were answered. I look forward to having the work completed knowing the improvements will only add to the value of my home for years to come. (and provide another 5 stars afterward)

Mike Kulis did a great job in evaluating the issues with the cracks in the foundation. Mike took all the time needed to answer any questions or concerns i had about the repairs. Mike offered his best advise on going forward with the repairs. He gave me a quote that day and we agreed on a price and a start date for the repairs. Mikes knowledge of the service offered by Perma-Seal made the decision easy. Highly recommended

Nick provided comprehensive background about how a back up sump pump would meet our needs. Ramon installed the back up sump pump. He kept me informed about what he would do, how the system works, and advised me well on what next steps to take for setting up the Basement Defender. Overall, they both provided a great service.

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.

Nick Dormitorio is excellent to work with. Nick took his time and addressed my needs for my sump pump, regarding my house, 3rd time using Permaseal. 5 stars!

On Aug 3,2022, had the sump pump installed along with all the plumbing. I talked to Lisa to confirm everything. The job turned out so great! The crew did a excellent job especially refinishing the concrete. Everyone I talked to was helpful and took time to answer all questions.

I contacted Perma-Seal to evaluate my existing sump pump. Robert came out and was professional, punctual and educating. I had several questions for Robert throughout the evaluation and he took the time to show me what was causing my sump pump issues and how Perma-Seal could fix my problem. He provided several options and allowed for me to choose which one was best. Unlike other contractors, Robert was not a pushy salesman. He is a genuine professional who puts more emphasis on solving his customer's problems than trying to make a quick sale. About a week after the evaluation, a technician came out to my home and replaced my existing sump pump with a new primary and battery backup pump. The technician also addressed my concerns of a loud noise coming from the discharge pipe rubbing against the underside of my floor joists. The technician installed bumpers and padding along the underside of my floor joists to reduce the vibration and noise. This was not within the scope of work; however, the technician wanted to make sure the job was done right and left me a satisfied customer. My pumps were installed in January 2012 and they have been working great. Based on my experience with Perma-Seal, I have referred them to two of my friends and had additional work performed this year by them at my home.

Hugo Morales who is a Perma-Seal crew chief was supersonically competent to accomplish this project. The two man team was exactly on time to start the job and they worked continuously and efficiently. Their work effort was efficient and successful.

Perma Seal technician(Daniel Biker) called before hand and said he was on his way. Arrived on time, was polite, cordial and answered my questions.. Tested old pump, needed new, flushed and stated new pump was installed and working great. Replaced the new pump & battery backup in timely manner and same day, no waiting.. would recommend Perma Seal.. May be a little pricier than some other companies but they know what they are doing and do it well.. My old pump was from Perma Seal and lasted almost 20 years..

I got an estimate for a new sump pump system and drain tiles from Mike K. He did a great job explaining everything to me and answering the hundreds of questions I had. He is very knowledgeable about a number of different solutions to keeping our home dry.

Nick D., Perma-Seal Rep, came to my home today to inspect my sump pump system that was causing my yard to flood. He came to my home on time, introduced himself with a smile and took his boots off outside so not to drag dirt through my home. He checked out all the issues, explained what repairs they would do, showed pictures (not drawings) of how the work would be done, explained everything in the contract and set up an appointment including a request to do the work as soon as possible. Thank you, Nick, for spending the time to explain everything. Look forward to working with Perma-Seal!

Niko did a complete check up of our system and briefed us on all issues. He was very thorough and professional along with being friendly. Very much enjoyed his work.

Niko did an excellent job looking at the details of the sump system, as well as making me aware of the other areas of the house he would analyze. He was also informative while explaining possible replacement of a hot water heater, attentive to details, polite, and personable. I highly recommend him and would not hesitate to have him do similar work at our house in the future.

Niko was very thorough in examining the sump pumps, the dehumidifier and filter, and the drainage system from the roof and backup sump, tested everything, noted some issues which need addressing in the next year. He was courteous and explained everything thoroughly. Overall, I could not have asked for better service. Tom

Niko was prompt to the appointment and called me ahead of time to give me his estimated time of arrival. Niko was very nice and courteous and did an excellent job explaining what he had done and the status of my current sump pump. He also let me know of a couple of options that I might be interested in getting, but did not pressure me. Excellent employee.

Jake arrived early and was informative about our options to keep our basement dry and home healthy.

Antonio was thorough and efficient in his annual inspection of the pumps. He provided good explanations to my questions and other matters I had not thought about. Much thanks!

Perfecto was very polite and did the job very quickly and smoothly.

Christian was thorough and we are going to bury discharge lines away from the foundation.

Antonio came out for our yearly inspection and cleaned our systems and recommended products to be replaced that could lead to potential problems in the future, we were happy with his work and would gladly have him back for next years appointment

Jake offered insight on how we can keep our basement dry with a few changes to our front yard and keeping water away from our drive with new pumps.

5 stars!
