Customer Reviews and Testimonials

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!

Very pleasant, kept me informed of what they were doing. Explained the new sump pump. The clean up was spot on.

Jake was efficient and early and gave several options for keeping our home healthy and basement dry.

Christian gave valuable advice. Had great expertise and a compassionate personality. Highly recommend!

Antonio, our technician, did a great job. He was prompt, professional and very friendly.

Niko inspected my pumps and foundation. Also explained findings on foundation and brickwork. He inspected the outside foundation as well. Recommendations provided on how to improve including the perma dry system which I will consider next year. He also, identified some brick and crack issues and recommended I contact BBB for a construction rep. as Permaseal does not perform that work. Thank you for a thorough examination of my home and the recommendations. I will be in touch in the future for the Permadry system. Very thorough review. Much appreciated.

One thing I can say for certain is Dylan has excellent work etiquette. I’ve never had anyone come in and actually introduce themselves and have a nice conversation. Usually they just go straight to the crawl space and try to sell me something. Also thank you for explaining the basement defender to me, sounds a lot better than testing it my self.

Christian was very helpful. He answered all my questions. He was very informative. It was pleasure working with him.

Mike Tigge has been an awesome resource for us! We first met him 10 years ago when he inspected our leaky foundation and correctly diagnosed the repairs. Then he helped us after a major flooding problem with an ejector pit and overhead sewer piping to prevent more sewer backups during huge storms. He came out again recently to evaluate our basement for interior drain tile. Mike really knows his stuff, and we’re happy to know him through Permaseal.

We just moved into a house that needed a lot of work done. One of the major projects that we need to tackle is the basement and the foundation crack/sump pump/ and overall getting the basement up to par and in working order. Mike Tigges came out today to provide a quote/consultation and he did an awesome job. We had another appointment scheduled for a competitor later this month and I ended up just cancelling it. He took care of everything! Looking forward to finally checking this project off our huge project list.

After visits from from other competitors who would not open the wall to determine where the leak was, Perma-Seal Technician Michael M. had no problem cutting through the drywall. We were able to see the cement cracks and offered a few options. Proactive and solution minded companies are essential to homeowners and Perma-seal offer both. We almost canceled our visit– so glad we didn’t.

We would like to comment the professional work that Jesus Rivas and Julio Alvarado when installing the waterproofing system in our basement. They were clean, courteous, and fast. We would highly recommend Perma-Seal and their crew. Good work Jesus ans Julio!

1:05 am, April 30 – The new sump pump/pit/window drainage installed in July 2019 is perfect.Without it, we would have every window well full of water and at least a few inches of water in the basement.The pump cycles every couple of minutes, and I’d estimate the sump pit is receiving a couple of gallons of ground water every minute.Sure hope it stops raining soon.Thanks for the excellent system.

Pedro came with two works and finished the job in one day.They worked very hard and left the place in good condition. I have no complaints about the workers. Hoping my basement keeps dry.

On Jan 12th, 2020 I had repair work in my basement. The crew send over did a spectacular job on the repair. Communication as to what was going to be done was explained to me explicitly. And when they were done, The finish result was exactly what was promised. I personally want to Thank Jose F., Humberto G., Jesus G., AND Alberto L., for a Great Job. JOB WELL DONE!!!

Dear Perma-SealOn 11/30/2019, service technician Ramon Duron was prompt, congeal, and knowledgeable in addressing and repairing the water intrusion through the basement wall. He left the affected area clean and tidy, and he was very responsive to all my questions. He is definitely an invaluable representative that speaks well for Perma-Seal. Thank You to Ramon and Perma-Seal.John A Navickas, 107 Waterside Place, Burr Ridge, IL 60527

I needed to replace my sump pump and decided to get the Basement Defender as well! Ramon Duron handled the job quite well and was very polite and knowledgeable. He managed his time very well! I would highly recommend Permaseal to handle all the tough jobs. I am a long time customer and not interested in using any other company!

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.’

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?

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!!!!

Permaseal 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.

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.

Crew was very friendly and courteous and did an excellent job with clean up. The quality of work was as expected (Great)

This is an update to a previous review I had written. When I wrote my review I was very unsatisfied with the job that was done, shortly after writing my review I received a call from Permaseal asking about why I was so dissatisfied with the job. I explained how it was not fixed like we were told it would be. They offered to come out and check it out and redo it. Mark and his crew showed up today and redid the sidewalk and it looks really great, it is nice and level now. I have to say I never expected them to make it right because so many companies now don’t seem to care anymore. My hat is off to Permaseal as far as I am concerned now they are a very good company, they stand behind their work. Mark (I’m sorry I didn’t get his last name) was wonderful about making everything right, very professional and extremely courteous. If you need good quality work done don’t hesitate to contact Permaseal, they are one of few companies that really stands behind their product and work.

Richard was awesome for my estimate. Helped explain in vivid detail of process of poly level and even video streamed with the workers to determine how and where to lift. Highly appreciated and recommended.
