Brett was great and explained everything very well.

Anthony was pleasant and accommodating to my schedule from our very first communication and was extremely responsive to any questions and concerns I had throughout.

Even though we did not sign on I would recommend perma seal due to the good experience I had with anthony

Manny did a great job today installing a new sump pump. He was quick and efficient and very polite. It was a pleasure working with him.

Jim G came out for an appointment. Was very professional and came up with a great plan for our window well issue.

Anthony did a great job of representing Perma Seal. We decided to live with the occasional puddle because of the substantial cost.

Jesse wad very professional and was awesome. 5 stars

Three years ago, I signed up for a 5-year package of annual maintenance visits by Permaseal to check the system they installed. I love that I did this. Each year I get a phone call to remind me it is time for the scheduled maintenance (I have no way to forget). A service person comes, goes through everything, checks (and if necessary, cleans) my sump pump pit and machine and all the lines. They also check the basement walls for cracks and go over all of it with me. I like that they are service oriented and not ‘sales driven.’

Matt T., Tomas and crew were very friendly, worked very hard, few breaks, and did great work.

I needed answers to some questions regarding our Basement Defender system. I called Greg Johnson, who was our superb salesman for the BD system, and asked him to provide me the contact information for the BD. He responded as I knew he would, providing me the contact information through the office. As our salesman, he has remained concerned and helpful, even the sale was completed months ago. He is an A+++++++++++++++++++++ representative of the company.

The whole crew did a wonderful job! Fidel, Alverio and Leo, were the last ones here to make sure the basement was clean, they even mopped my floor. Fidel has a wonderful and friendly personality. He made sure to answer all my questions before leaving. Fidel, Alverio and Leo worked so well together, it was great to see that kind of team work. These gentlemen deserve a rating of 5!

George Heller is super friendly, professional, thorough, and informative! Signed proposal with Perma-Seal and look forward to having the job done soon. Thanks!

Mariano M. did an excellent job installing my Basement Defender. He was very friendly and professional. Mariano’s knowledge of the product was good and he explained everything to me well. Though I didn’t interact much with Salvador C. I noticed he did good work as well. He cleaned up the work site beyond my expectations. The entire installation went smoothly and because of these two individuals I would definitely recommend Perma-Seal.

Don Baier helped to make the repairs in our basement easy and cost effective. I made some changes to our original estimate and Don was able to make all of this work for us. Thank you, Don!

Gary was very thorough and efficient. Honestly told me what he thought happened and put no pressure on me to make a decision or try to sell me anything I didn’t need. I didn’t end up needing any repairs but I will definitely call Permaseal if we get water again. Plus he was great with the dogs.

Ramon D jesus was very effecent and did a very professional crack sealing job and replacing sump pump.

Just want to complement your employee Mariano Mavro on an excellent job he did on replacing the window cover. He was courteous and explained in detail what he was going to do. He did this in a pleasant manner as he enjoyed his job and was proud of Perma-Seal. He gets a top rate from us. I would recommend Perma-Seal to others.

Professional from start to finish

The foundation consultant john ferguson from the downers grove il office was out at my house this morning for a water leak in my basement i called about. and he found out problem was with a frozen downspout pipe. i also recently had a flooded basement because my sump pumps went out. he gave me information on some good products that i am going to be purchasing as well shortly for sump pump monitoring and preventative maintenance program and basement dryer. he was very knowledgable and very professional. i learned alot about the services you provide and i will be having your company do a couple of the items he discussed with me. he also went above and beyond for me. my car was stuck in a frozen snowdrift in my driveway. he was so nice and helped me shovel it out and pushed the car for me to get the car unstuck. he was so nice and so knowledgable about all services provided.

Reuben Gonzales came to my home to evaluate the leakage into my basement. He was thorough, unrelenting in his pursuit of the leaks, patient, honest, and was not seeking to sell me an expensive fix. He said that it was cheaper to open the dry wall in a few places to see whether the foundation had cracks rather then digging up a trench 4 feet deep by 20 feet long. I agreed and he opened the wall in two places. I ran the garden hose and he said the leak is above grade and that I DID NOT need a waterproofing company but some one who does masonry work. Perma-seal does not do that work. Other companies wanted $2000 for a membrane plus an additional charge for each crack found. Being so honest, how does Perma-seal stay in business?

Very good service. This is the third time I have used Permaseal for my Home. Every employee is knowledgeable and very careful to keep the basement clean Anyone who has dealt with the mess of plumbing and trenching of concrete will know how much dust is involved Permaseal makes sure there is know mess The work is guaranteed Today I had Jamie place an air tight sump pump cover. He was exceptional and knowledgeable. He also gave me insight on water maintenance issues for my house that is much appreciated Kenneth S

Perma-Seal completed a couple jobs for me. First, they installed exterior drain tiles to fix a seepage issue. Then, they solved a sewer backup problem by installing a flood control system in my front yard. From the salesman to the plumber to the crew, all are hard working and professional. They even saved me $$ by digging around the sidewalk rather than breaking the concrete which would have cost extra to replace. All in all, these guys are expensive but well worth it.

After having 2 major basement floods and a few minor ones over the years, I decided to throw in the towel and give Perma-Seal a call. A rep came out a few days later and assessed my situation and gave me an estimate on the spot. The price was lower than I thought it would be. The salesman was very professional and ‘no pressure’. He did inform us, though, that they were so busy they wouldn’t be able to install the system until the first week of October and this was the last week of June, 2009! I kept my fingers crossed during the weeks prior to the install that we wouldn’t have anymore flooding rains. The crew came on the first of October and was finished the next afternoon. I’m writing this on July 24, 2010, after over 7 inches of rain fell on Chicago in less than 12 hours. I’m very pleased to say that my basement remained bone dry. It’s so dry that my dehumidifier didn’t even turn on. THANK YOU, PERMA-SEAL! I waited to write this review because I wanted to wait and see if the system could handle an Armageddon-ish rainstorm and it passed with flying colors! My poor neighbors are all bailing out their basements and I feel sorry for them. Needless to say I’m overjoyed with the Perma-Seal system in my basement. The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because the crew left a bit of a mess for me to clean up, mainly concrete dust.

We own a home built in 1928 and had noticed wall cracks in one corner area of the house which kept reappearing. Having experience in residential housing, I decided that we had settling issues in on corner of our house. I knew of Perma-Seal from listening to Lou Manfredini and thought I would give them a call to have a look at what was going on. The sales rep agreed with my diagnosis and we scheduled the work. The price quote was fixed and was right in alignment with what I anticipated. The workers showed up as planned and were very knowledgeable about foundations. In the process, we found that the foundation had been poured without footings! (I guess that’s how they did things in those days?) That was not a problem for the push-post pinning system that Perma-Seal uses. They proceeded to install the underpinnings, patch the concrete cuts, and clean up. Would I use them again? Absolutely! In particular, if we have other foundation issues, they will be my first call.

Perma-Seal arrived on time on the designated date to perform the contracted services. All of the employees were very professional and knew their jobs very well. The work was performed in the allotted time frame and very little mess was left when you consider that a jackhammer was used, gravel for the drain was moved inside, and then fresh concrete was mixed and poured to cover the trench. I was very pleased with the work and have had no seepage since the work was done. It’s great that the work has a lifetime warranty and is transferable to a new owner should I ever sell my home. Perma-Seal is a very well run organization and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.

The certified foundation consultant that came out was very professional and explained every detail of what he recommended and why that work was needed. The crew that came to do the work were also professional and very knowledgeable. After cleaning the original sump pump, they saw that there was no need to do the additional work originally quoted. Because they knew what they were doing, I ended up saving $1,000 because there was not need to break concrete and install a double basin. They arrived early, at 7:30 a.m. and were finished by 10:00 a.m. I was extremely pleased with their work from start to finish.

Install interior drain system underneath basement floor and all that goes with that process including wall crack repair, and installation of double pit sump pump and back up battery. Price included removal of old concrete double sink laundry tub and installation of new fiberglass tub. The team was very efficient and did a really good clean up job. A couple of scheduling problems popped up at the very beginning and end of installation day, but were handled by management IMMEDIATELY and PROFESSIONALLY. The drainage system was finished in one day. THANK YOU!!!!
