Thank you Perma-Seal needed crack done to sell home – much appreciated

Antonio did a wonderful job with us. He was very clean and polite. Answered all of our questions. Was very considerate and very pleasant the entire time.

Anthony explained everything well

Antonio exceeded my expectations. He was an ultimate professional and demonstrated deep knowledge of his trade. I hope he returns next year for my integrity analysis of my Permaseal systems. Thank you!

Feliciano and his crew were very respectful. He explained in detail what they did and even showed us pictures afterward. They arrived on time and finished according to schedule. They cleaned up everything and left the house as they found it. We are very happy with a job well done.

Niko Lau did an excellent job. Was very thorough, professional, and punctual!

Jake was knowledgeable, thorough, and courteous we are very happy to have our work scheduled for this coming spring after the ground thaws. Jake was personable and great representative of the company! We look forward to having Jake back next year for our inspection.

Jon was very helpful told me all the options that I needed to be safe and also disconnected a water hose for me I couldn’t get disconnected

Dick was very professional and timely.

Brian did a great job locating the source of the water leak in the basement.

I want to thank the guys who were here on-time and responsive. They arrived and completed the job, cleaned the space and followed-up after the work. We had record rain the following night and I was extremely concerned. I did not get any water in my basement AT ALL! My spouse and I are so happy as it comes with a life-time warranty. I would recommend this company immediately. Great job and keep up the great work.

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.

The best!!!
Resolved all issues with creative problem solving. Many years of experience by the gentleman who did the work (Aurilio?) was evident.
Would highly recommend.

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.

The initial quote process was fast, friendly, and painless. As for the work itself, Perma-Seal arrived on time and quickly had the fix in place. I’ve waited over a year to write the review just to make sure, but so far it’s been dry as a bone down there. Upon initial inspection it looks like the previous owner attempted their own fix prior to this, but clearly that didn’t work out too well! My only gripe (minor) is that it took a month between the time I said ‘go’ and their availability to do the work. I guess that speaks to the companies popularity though, and being busy is good for business.

Mr. M. Kulis is very professional. He gave me an honest review of my water problem in my basement. He gave me a number of options to correct my problem. I am very grateful and I feel like I’m a little more educated in how to proceed.

Mike was very knowledgeable and thorough when determining the cause of the water coming I to our basement. He took the time to explain anything I had questions on.

Our Perma-Seal Certified Consultant Michael Kulis came to access our home basemant’s leak issues today. Michael was highly profesional, extreme knowledgeable and courteous. Michael listen to all of our concerns and then provided the very best in class customer service to address our needs. We are repeat Perma-Seal customers. Several years ago I called on them to fix my parents basemant water leak issues and the company did an OUTSTANDING JOB at my parent’s house. When I discover leaks in my basemant I knew what company to reach out to. That was Perma-Seal. Mike Thank you very much for taking care of our family today. You represent your company very well. We already have recommended you to our friends. Loyal customer.Manny C

Michael kulis gave me an estimate on what it would take to keep my basement dry. He explained everything very well. He is very knowledgeable and professionable.

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 not cost.

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 Permaseal 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 Permaseal 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.

Everything was great!! Very Professional. Price was MUCH less than I expected it to be for the foundation repair job. Would very highly recommend.

I am delighted with the work and the results. I was sorry my house foundation needed the work, but the workers and the work they did is outstanding!

Blas from Perma-Seal repaired a crack for Vicki R. in Bartlett, IL. Vicki gave Blas and the crew a perfect rating.

Jamie from Perma-Seal performed a service call on a visible crack in the wall for Eric S. Eric was ecstatic about the work done and gave the crew the best overall ratings possible.

We appreciated the fact that Perma-Seal was committed to timely follow through on the basic elements of my job. The job included 7 metal anchors fastened to the inside basement wall and 7 anchored in the back yard so that they can be tightened to keep my wall in place. I was concerned about the appearance but I used beadboard with a 4 ledge and placed framed photos on the ledge that can be removed immediately to tighten the anchor nuts. The wall looks great! – Vern M.

I was very pleased with everything Perma-Seal had to offer. Everyone worked fast and professionally.

Installed a new sump pump and battery backup. Buried a PVC pipe outside for the water to be expelled underground instead of it just shooting out of a pipe from our house like the old pump. First of all, Robert came to assess our situation. He explained everything he suggested we do and gave reasons why. He was very professional and, we feel, honest. Having heard nothing but good things about Perma-Seal, we accepted the quote that day and an installation date was scheduled. On the day of the scheduled service we received a call from one of the technicians advising they could arrive 1/2 hour earlier if that was okay with us, and it was. (We are used to companies calling because they will be late, so this was nice.) They were very polite, performed the work to our satisfaction, explained how the battery backup works, and cleaned up after.

Perma-Seal did a full perimeter basement drainage system for us along with installing a new sump pump with back-up. All was done in the 2 days allotted by people who knew what they were doing and were able to explain why they did the things they did. We have now gone through some really heavy rains and have been dryer than ever. Each day they were here at the time promised and cleaned up prior to leaving.

Allen did a very good job of checking the sump pumps and battery backup. Thank you!

Dear Roy: I remember when you did all of your own work with just one helper. You have built a successful business with good employees and morals. I want to tell you how impressed I was with William who did my 10 point maintenance inspection on March 16th. My pump was vibrating and making water sounds. William took the pump out, replaced the valve and installed a J hook strap. The sump pump is almost silent. I hope you keep him on the inspection crew. He is very professional and knows the sump pumps.

Allen was very patiently able to explain our problem and the most knowledgeable about the sump, and most of all, he was very courteous. We’ll surely refer Perma-Seal to our friends.

They were very competitive in pricing, I got more for less than the other top basement waterproofer. We needed the interior drain system, and got our cracks filled in the walls and a bubbler discharge line, and still saved $$ over the other bids. We did get 3 other bids, and chose them as an established company, and when they said it would be done in one day we signed on the line. The date of the work was about 2 months out, which gave us plenty of time to clear out years of stuff stored downstairs, and we had to move the washer and dryer and slop sink or laundry tub, we did our own disconnect and re connect of the laundry tub, and saved more money ( they add charges for a plumber to come out) and we moved anything else we did not want to move away from the walls, and we covered everything with tarps. They arrived on time, actually early,and did not waste a minute getting to work. It will be loud and you will clean up dust, but considering the job done, it was not that bad. I did not get the battery back up pump, but may in the future, it is recommended, but my neighbors don’t have them, and we have a generator in case of power outages. Seepage control is not sewer back up control, so it that is your issue, you will need to have another type of plumbing work done. It has been a pleasure to not have to step over seepage trails, it has been a wet week or 2 here, and not a drop of water to be found! Most towns have a rebate for waterproofing or flood proofing, and I will be taking advantage of that too.

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!

Permaseal didn’t take any shortcuts when it came to water proofing my basement. They installed a complete drain system, sump pump and sealed all the cracks that were causing water seepage. All I can say is it’s been almost 6 months and not a leak yet.

Perma-Seal installed an interior drain tile and sump pump with battery back up. They were very professional, quick and easy to work with. Everything has worked well for years now. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Kenneth from Perma-seal installed two sump pump batteries for Brian F. Brian gave Kenneth the highest ratings for his service.

Your field rep Dave Conforti did a OUTSTANDING job of coming up with a fix for the problem we have here at the house. He made numerous calls to consult with your team and seemed to be genuinely concerned about helping fix the problem we are having. So far we are very happy with his assistance and concern as we still are waiting for the work to be done this upcoming spring. Hopefully the upcoming project goes as well as his service. Please pass a thank you along to him for his help so far

Brian Meltzer spent 2 hours looking for source of water leaking into basement. Had to break through dry wall at 8 or 9 locations to find the actual entry point. The problem was caused by faulty concrete sealing at opening for the telephone line. Marvelous persistence and great creativity in locating this hidden problem. Superb Permaseal employee!

Perfecto and his crew completed the work without any hassles and the work looked great when finished. Minimized the amount of dust and cleaned up when the project was done. 100% satisfied with the work and the leadership and work provided by Perfecto. Would certainly use again.

Sergio and his crew were great. Efficient, knowledgeable, polite, hard working. It was not easy going up and down the stairs carrying heavy concrete, stones, supplies. They were dedicated to doing a great job and they did. They were real pros and real gentlemen.

Very efficient, job done quickly

I love what perma seal did to my crawl space. I had just exposed concrete walls and gravel floors. My crawl space always smelled wet, dank and a little moldy, i had perma seal come out and encapsulate the whole thing. I can tell you that every single time I go into the crawl space a smile creeps across my face seeing the nice job they did, plus it is ten times easier to get around in there now that i am no longer crawling on rocks. We also had cracks in the foundation and they were handled easly by the perma seal team. I love the work perma seal did and I will always ring there bell. P.S i had my work done more than 10 years ago and it looks as nice as the day i got it done.

Jack Castella was very helpful. He clearly explained our options without trying to push us into something we didn’t need. He spent time consulting with others to find a great solution water accumulation on our driveway. If the work product is as good as Jack was we expect to be very satisfied.

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.

The guys were very polite, informative and thorough. They explained everything perfectly. Anthony and Niles.

Jon was knowledgeable, explained everything so that I understood. Even explained over the phone what was needed to another person. Great representative of permaSeal. I am confident in his assessment.

Anthony was very nice and explained the process and recommendations simply.

Christian offered courteous and professional service and took the time to walk through the work done and answer any questions that we had.

Jake offered great information on keeping our dry basement and healthy home.

Nice friendly and informative technician. Thanks for you help today!

Jake was polite and informative also very patient with my questions.

Anthony was on time, courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Very knowledgeable and on time

Anthony explained things thoroughly and gave good options!
