Customer Reviews and Testimonials

If I could give more than 5-Stars, I would.
In 2018 we purchased a U.S. Waterproofing sump pump back up system. I believe we paid approximately $2,300, at that time. This week, the system gave out as it kept beeping and the inverter was constantly running. I called U.S. Waterproofing to have a technician come-out to check the system. I was informed, because it was older than 3-years old and out of warranty, U.S. Waterproofing would no longer service the system. What a waste of my money!!

Since we frequently travel, a sump pump back-up system is a necessity. I called Parma-Seal, hoping to get an appointment within a couple days and I was pleasantly surprised to get an appointment for a technician to come to our house within 3-4 hours. As promised, Perma-Seal’s technician, Jeremiah Owens, called and provided an estimated time of arrival, which was 3:00 PM. Promptly at 2:55 PM, Jeremiah was at our door.

Jeremiah immediately identified himself and handed me his business card, which I felt was very professional. We then went downstairs to evaluate our back-up system, which I did not expect Parma-Seal to service. After carefully listening to our situation, Jeremiah provided a couple suggestions for a new back-up system. I did not feel that he was trying to “up sale” me or pressure me into purchasing one of Perma-Seal’s Systems. In fact, he suggested I go with the less expensive system, because it would better meet my needs and requirements. I was impressed when he informed me, the more expensive system would be over-kill. I truly appreciated his honesty. We then sat down as he explained the benefits of the systems and reviewed the breakdown of the cost(s). I felt very comfortable with my purchase, since Jeremiah made sure I understood the technology that was built into the system.

Subsequently, by 4:00 PM, Jeremiah was dismantling U.S. Waterproofing’s useless system and began installing our new Basement Defender. I can’t emphasize enough, the professionalism and care he took with installing the new system. Since we have a smaller Sump Pit, Jeremiah found a way to make all the pumps fit. He took his time and made sure all parts and electrical cords were neatly zip tied, as to not hang in an unsightly manner. We have had several plumbers service the pit, over the years, including U.S. Proofing, and never (and I mean NEVER) has a technician cleaned-up after themselves, like Jeremiah did. The area was spotless, when he was done.

After the installation was completed, Jeremiah was extremely patient, as he guided me through the app. set-up of the system. He made sure I understood all the benefits, ie. Temperature and humidity readings, remote testing and exactly how the system would inform, if it got tripped by an electrical failure or excessive water in the pit.

It was approximately 7:15 PM, when Jeremiah left our house. Not once did he mention anything about the length of time it took or the time of night, on a Friday. Also, Jeremiah was as pleasant when he left, as he was when he introduced himself.

I cannot give Jeremiah sufficient, “KUDOS” for an outstanding job. Not only was he professional in his work responsibilities, but his outstanding personality should be an example to anyone who works in a customer service industry. Parma-Seal should be proud to have such a dedicated and committed representative. He is truly a positive “face” for the company! Thank You, Jeremiah – Ron and Kathy Smith

I have been a PermaSeal customer for over nine years. I truly am so pleased that I selected your organization to perform my waterproofing needs all those years ago! Since that time, I have really only had two occasions to call for additional assistance. Every representative I have encountered has been a pleasure to deal with. Yesterday, I had two of your employees (Ramone and Isbi) here to fix a window well drain. I really can’t say enough good things about them! They were extremely dedicated to determining the cause of my problem and then taking all the necessary steps to fix it. Aside from their technical skills, I truly need to make mention of the fact they exhibited characteristics that you really can’t teach employees. They were extremely courteous, considerate, pleasant, respectful and professional. I sincerely mean these things and could five examples of each comment but let it suffice to say they deserve all of these accolades. I would feel so comfortable welcoming them into my home again! Please pass on my appreciation to these two employees. They are wonderful representatives of the great PermaSeal organization. Sincerely,
Jim and Jody O.

I used to dread heavy rainstorms & spring thaws because if a saw a lake in my backyard I knew there was also one in the basement. This was a totally unusable floor of my house. I called Permaseal, they came out & did a complete & professional inspection explaining in detail what they were going to do. At the install I didn’t know how they were going to get all that cement out of my basement but they did it all in one day and left the place spotless. The next major rain came 2 days later – I gingerly tiptoed down my basement stairs not knowing what to expect – DRY DRY DRY!!! And it has been DRY ever since 2 yrs later. I have now reclaimed my entire basement as a living space. Thank you Permaseal!!!

A shoutout for Kenneth Allen Laundie, who came out on a very cold day and performed the inspection with professionalism and courtesy.

We had 7 to 10 inches of water in our basement. Ken Porter arrived and he efficiently assessed the situation, explained the problem and quickly installed the needed pumps. He is an extremely capable technician and we could not be more satisfied with his service. We have always used permaseal and we always will. With employees like Ken, we never have to worry about our basement. I also want to commend both Marge from your service dept and the lady who first took my call on Easter Sunday. You have extremely capable people and we are so very pleased with your company. Thank you

Had an issue with the sumps in the main pit, there are two pits, each with a main pump and a back up. The main pit receives continuous water after storms and winter melts that even neighbors have commented how often the sump runs. Gina reviewed the situation and provided options of what could be done to highly reduce the risk of my basement flooding. She was patient, detailed, professional, knowledgeable, and overall wanted to provide the correct solution. I very much appreciated her work and friendliness, she provided peace of mind. I have been a Perma Seal customer for almost ten years and all of my interactions have been professional including the folks who schedule the calls to those who do the field work.

Chris Hayden came out do do an estimate on my moms place. He was very knowledgeable as we walked all around the house. Never tried to over sell me on anything. I’ve used Perma-Seal before and would use them again. I highly recommend calling them and see if Chris Hayden can come out.

I battled leakage from a useless ash pit located next to my basement fireplace for many years. Because it only seemed to cause an issue after ongoing, ground saturating rains I put up with the inconvenience of sucking water out with a shop-vac and dumping it into either the existing sump pit or laundry room sink when it filled up after sucking the water every 10-15 minutes so it would not flood my family room. This happened a couple times a year, but last winter & spring were the final straws. After coming home after a weekend getaway to a completely flooded family room due to a heavy winter rain that seeped down my foundation due to frozen ground, I’d had enough and decided to do something about it as soon as the ground thawed. Unfortunately, a flooding, ongoing rain hit before I made any calls and I spent 48 hours, sucking water out of that ash pit EVERY 5 minutes around the clock…dumping 108, 6 gallon shop-vacs into the sump pit!!! I spoke with several companies but at this point I really wanted the Cadillac of companies and called PermaSeal because I’d heard & read nothing but rave reviews. When Ron Rodriguez came out to assess the issue, he showed me a detailed power point presentation that explained the process and answered all of my questions! He was so personable and professional that it really eased my concerns and I was convinced I had made the right decision. The work crew was also amazing! They were all so pleasant and so consciensus about maintaining the condition of my yard while doing the deep trenching required to repair the issue. They also completed the job in an unbelievable time span. The 8-10 foot deep trench across the front of my house was opened up the first day and when they cleaned things up to leave for the day, I panicked a bit due to a heavy rain forecast for that night! When I talked to the foreman, he said, you are good to go – no worries… Your drainage pipes are installed and connected to your new sump system that’s working just fine! It poured pitch forks & hammer handles that night and although I camped out in the basement to keep an eye on the ash pit, it stayed bone dry…and has been ever since!!! The work was completed by noon the day and my yard was immaculate! I could not recommend PermaSeal’s quality and the people who make up every aspect of their business more highly!

Ruben Gonzalez came out to do a basement inspection to make sure I did not have any foundation cracks while I am in the process of selling my house. After his very professional inspection and very in debt explanation I am very happy to know that I have no problems to worry about things in my foundation and basement. Ruben ws wonderful. Thank you very much.

Jim was very thorough and professional. He explained what is needed with all the details.

Gene Krukowski exceeded your usually excellent annual sump pump service. Tested all systems. Assured that we will not have mold or musty smelling sumps. Also gave us advice on how to keep them fresh between annual check ups. Couldn’t be more satisfied.
