Thank you Christian for the new sump pump!

Dick was very helpful in providing the quote and answering my questions. He coordinated with me in advance on what time he would arrive. He took time to answer my questions and explain the information.

Joaquin and Angel came today. It appears they did a superb job leveling my concrete slab which had sunk over the last winter. These guys were polite, efficient and thorough. If I needed more work done, I would ask for them.
Great job!

Jake was informative and left me a quote for replacing some of the aged appliances in my home.

Christian was prompt. Told me I needed a new sump pump as mine was 10 years old and suggested replacing the ejector pump.

Very happy with the service Jake provided he took the time to explain and answer all questions we had about our homes foundation

Christian was great. I look forward to leveling my sidewalk

Anthony did a great job of drawing us a picture of our 2 systems, including pumps, batteries, and chargers. He clearly explained all our options for bundling or piece-mealing the prices. He was also cordial and helpful. Great experience!

Sean was very helpful/knowledgable/ on time. Some places will say they will be there and will keep you waiting. Thanks.

Nick L. was very professional and answered all of my questions. Was on time which is always a plus in my book. His explanations were very detailed and much better than some of your competitors.

He was very thorough when looking at what I needed, and in explaining the why.

Nick L was great to work with. Nick conducted his inspection and walked me though all of it. I was then given all options available for the work to be done and explained the process in detail. There was no pressure to get a deal done but I was given all of the information needed to make my decision on the spot. Highly recommend!!

Great service, helpful examples and answered my huge list of questions. Really appreciated Henry taking the time to work through different issues and concerns.

I’d like to thank the Perma-Seal family for making my basement dry. Micheal Wiser inspected my basement and sump pump and was very professional. He explained what he was doing and why so I could understand everything!

Impressed with the willingness to take time to answer all my questions. Appreciate the full explanation of services and cost. Did not feel pressured. Immediate install date.

Henry Heller came out to do an estimate for a crack in my foundation. He was great, he took a look around the whole basement to help me I’d any potential future issues. We addressed my concerns and he also gave me ideas for future prevention and what’s available for my situation.

Great service, knowledgeable, kind

Dealing with Perma-Seal was a great experience from the small repair price to dealing with the people. Our basement consultant answered every questions and explained everything clearly. Awesome job on our basement!

I had the option of using another contractor, but I chose to have Perma-Seal perform the interior crack repairs because I trust their years of experience and excellent reputation as a foundation repair company in Chicago.

Just want to say thank you to Perma-Seal for doing such a fine job on my basement.

When we found two cracks in our basement wall while clearing the area for the installation of a new furnace, we thought of Perma-Seal first. They repaired cracks in our basement walls a few years after we moved into our newly built home in 1973. Back then, Roy Spencer worked on the jobs himself. Being a new Angie’s List member, we looked them up and saw that they have continued to satisfy customers over the years. We called and Consultant Jim Burlison responded within 48 hours to give us an estimate. He was very hands-on and examined each site before suggesting a solution. On the scheduled day, the technician called and asked if he could arrive early to do the job. The work was done professionally, quickly, and with no leftover mess or cleanup. Now that the epoxy has cured, we will chip off the plugs and paint the wall. Although there are companies out there who can do the job for less money, Perma-Seal provides a free lifetime service warranty on their repairs. It’s comforting to know that these are two cracks we won’t have to worry about…Thanks, Roy Spencer for owning a company that really delivers. And thanks, Perma-Seal for the nice experience!

I am super excited about your work. I could not be happier with how the job went, from the first call until the work was completed. Everything was great!

These two employees (James A. and Bill H) are great examples “role models“ of what client services should be, I know you advertise this but it is VERY TRUE! Both of them took time to not only answer my questions or listen to my concerns but would stop doing work to look at me while answering my numerous questions. There are many people who come in, do service and seem very eager to get in out, this was not the case with your company. Thank you very much for having such great service and these two members should definitely be praised for their work!

The work was great and I am extremely satisfied with what Perma-Seal did for me. Your consultant Dan Arcus was top notch and professional.

One wall of our garage was sinking. Perma-seal diagnosed the problem and suggested a solution. They poured piers to support the sinking wall. It was not cheap, but I believe the solution was the correct one. The Perma-Seal team was professional and courteous. They arrived on time and worked efficiently. They cleaned up well after themselves. Our village inspector was pleased with the work and told me that he never expects to see a problem on a Perma-Seal job.

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!

We have used them a few times for foundation crack repair. They were very quick and did the job well. When we used them a few years ago, they also had a warranty if any sealed cracks should leak again. They come out and repair again, at no cost.

Thank you Pedro R & Branden for your excellent work today!! We appreciate so much your help in cleaning out the sand and tree roots from our system! We look forward to you doing work for us again!! Shirley & Gladen Martin, Hobart, Indiana

They fixed leaks in the basement floor by digging and inserting drain hose at the interior perimeter of basement floor and directed the drainage to a new sump pump. I have not seen a drop of water since. I had this company replace another worn sump pump about a year ago.The workers were professional, and swift with the labor and clean up. Clean up was excellent considering it was a rainy day. Every thing worked when tested and has worked very well since. I am pleased with the lifetime warranty and know they will be there if something is wrong. You need to remove anything against the perimeter walls of the basement, e.g., washer/dryer, cabinets, tables, workbench, etc. Good opportunity to clean and paint if needed.

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.

Our basement walls had mold from water damage from a burst water pipe/drain. We were concerned that water was also entering the foundation walls and floor. We called Perma-Seal,for an estimate on waterproofing the area.TONY GAGLIANO arrived promptly as promised and began a very thorough inspection which included both an exterior and interior exam. He took careful note of the water damage that we had sustained and then concluded that the water had NOT entered through the walls or flooring, but was in fact, from the pipes which had burst. He then spent another hour or so inspecting the surrounding grading, gutters, wall condition, mortar lines, etc..all areas from which water could cause future problems. He was extremely polite, thorough and professional and was not impatient with our endless questions. Based on his assurances, we were able to proceed with remediation of the damage and eventual refinish of the basement.He could have sold us an expensive repair of complete foundation excavation and sealing, drain tiles and sump pumps. Instead he provided us an honest evaluation, which resulted in zero money to Perma Seal. His inspection was free. It doesnt get anymore honest than this. I dont know the names of any other Perma-Seal,inspectors, but if I were looking for a thorough and honest evaluation, I would ask for Tony Gagliano. We thank him and apologize for the delay in providing this review.

I had a top notch experience with the Perma-Seal folks… from estimating, through installation, and subsequent warranty work and followup. It was almost 2 years ago when I had all the work performed. Everyone was punctual for their appointments, very knowledgeable and informative on what to expect, how things would work, and what to watch. The end result looks very similar to the other ‘after’ pictures posted… very clean and professional. No mess left after the work. I no longer have that musty smell in the crawl, and I actually store things in there now. After the first year I did have an issue with the pump. They responded quickly and took care of the issue (replaced pump) at no cost. Everything continues to work like a charm. On top of it… after another year went by… I recently received a call to schedule a free inspection and checkup. They just were here and checked everything out… all still working great…. and free inspection as well. Can’t beat that… they just checked everything out, made sure all was working fine, mentioned a few things I could do for added services but was not ‘pushy’ by no means on the sell… just let me know what was available. Excellent customer focus, followup and support. I am extremely happy I went with these folks…. as I said, my experience has been top notch.

The Perma-Seal service tech was professional and he completed the sump pump exchange without a problem. I will continue to recommend your company!

Bill Nicholson of Perma-Seal was very professional, polite and thorough. He did not rush, and even asked me if I had any concerns or questions. I will have him come back on next year when I have a new sump pump installed!

I was very satisfied with the drain tile and sump pump installation that was done by the Perma-Seal waterproofing crew. Jim went out of his way to make sure that I was happy and stayed informed with the work that they did.

I am usually hesitant about having people work in my home, but the Perma-Seal crew was so courteous when they came to seal a crack in my basement and install my backup sump pump. They were so helpful in answering all of my questions, and they cleaned up before they left.

Absolutely professional. I called to schedule an estimate. They came and explained everything very thoroughly pros and cons. After getting estimates from other companies we decided for them. They showed up on time on the date they said they would. Julian (head crew) was very professional. They started and finished the same day, working pretty much non-stop for 12 hours. When we decided that changing the main pump was the best option, he checked on his truck and didn’t have one to install right then. He said the next day they would call to install the new main pump. And, that is exactly what they did. By early morning they called and they were on their way! This is the most amazing part: they made a mistake in the charges so I double paid for the main pump. They called me, explained the mistake and canceled the charge. Absolutely honest. This company totally lives up to the A rating they have and more.

Sean was on time and informative .

sean was great

Tom is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Appointment time kept.

Sean was prompt and provided me with in depth knowledge of the processes. I was very pleased with the encouraging assessment and happy my needs will be met.

Sean was great and he explained the whole process to me. The price was very affordable.

Keegan was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the various issues I was concerned with. He provided proposals for solutions to each. I elected to proceed with the patio concrete lifting. This project is slated to begin on August 16th.

What a great job. My driveway looks so much better. Joaquin and his crew made a piece of art out of something really bad. The first day they came out there were problems with the equipment and they tried real hard to get it going but had to end up coming back but they made it back in 2 days and got the job done. Great communication with me & my wife so we knew what was going on. Joaquin said he treated the job like he was doing his own house and wanted it to be right. Financing was easy & quick too so from start to finish we waited 2 weeks and the job was done & paid for. I will for sure recommend Perma-Seal to anyone looking for work to be done.

Tom was great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Took his time to explain everything with thoroughness.

Permaseal was great and so was Sean.

Sean was awesome.

Anthony explained the work so we can understand the process.

The Permaseal representative that came to our home was outstanding! His name is Tyler Cook. He took the time to explain what he was doing as he inspected the sump pump which included an inspection of the outdoor drains. He also inspected the rest of our basement. It was refreshing to get an inspector that truly cared about his job and was willing to take the time to talk to us and give us suggestions. We signed up for the multiple inspection package for 5 years for $325.

Antonio was great!! He was friendly & informative and taught me everything I need to know about my sub pump as well as a quote for a new backup.

Jon was awesome! He came, explained everything he was doing and was thorough.

Jake is outstanding! He explained everything and gave me options. I highly recommend.

Jessie was Great!!
Very informative and professional.

Antonio was excellent. He was early for our appointment, explained what needs to be done and stressed the importance of a warranty.

Jesse was on time, was extremely knowledgeable and patient as as he inspected past work and advised on possible future work.

I am a realtor who always refers Permaseal to clients in need. Technicians as Jesse exemplify why Permaseal is my foundation contractor of Choice.

Anthony called me 35-40 minutes before arriving for the appointment, which I greatly appreciated. He provided a thorough explanation before, during and after his review.

I would like to recognize Austin Keen for the truly professional service he preformed today.
If Perma -Seal had all service technicians like Austin, they would have 100% of the basement flooding business.
Austin was totally up front with the process he was going to preform. He explained what he was doing, and encouraged me to ask any questions that I had about the equipment or the performance I was getting from the Perma-Seal installation.
It was a very positive experience for me.
