Mid last year, purchased a house where the prior homeowner (who wasn't living in it at the time)…read morewas required to get the foundation fixed and remediation for moisture. Accurate Basement Repair is who they chose - lower five figures cost (it was in fairly bad shape before the work, it's obvious). Can't say it was the prior homeowner, because technically I paid it (since I bought the house and they billed it through closing). I wasn't there either before or during the repair; everything had already been done by the time of closing. That's fine - I understood. Nothing was a red flag in inspection. But here's what I observed, having done nothing but take possession of the home. - The drain tiles seem to be fine. They (ABR) didn't do anything cosmetic to make it look presentable afterwards; just concrete (which is porous). - As another reviewer mentioned, they left the old nonfunctional sump pump laying right next to the new one. Like they just didn't bother to clean up despite charging so much money. - They cheaped out on the sump pump controller; didn't bother to give them the battery backup-equipped unit (yes, we know..."we offered, customer said no to the extra charge, doot doot doot!"...again, for so much money, throw it in. You're talking a few hundred bucks at best). The power tends to go out frequently here, so this was a huge issue when the rains hit. - Sump outlet used to go to the back yard, they redirected it to the front and just laid it out on the front grass. Now it's noisy thoughout the house as well as curb-unappealing. - Part of basement repair should also be sealing. They concrete sealed most of the well opening tops but blatantly missed two of them - when I say "blatant", I'm talking, you can literally put your hand out from the basement to the outside. Which meant that humidity was out of control. Which led to... - An excessive number of dead bugs found, which was odd given there was recent basement repair; since sealing should be part of it. Turns out they were attracted by the excessive moisture from... - The dehumidifier, when we did the initial walkthrough before agreement, was an older unit that was running nonstop. Thought it odd but figured it was related to the recent work. During the final walkthrough, the older dehumidifier had been replaced with a slightly newer - but same model - unit. It wasn't running. Turns out the tank was full; and who knows how long it was sitting there full. After closing, I noticed that tank would just keep filling because the humidity was out of control. Replaced it with a Govee and tapped out a hose to the drain (not sure why ABR couldn't/wouldn't do that); that mitigated it, but it still ran nonstop. That's when I discovered the two openings they clearly missed; after adding some insulation, problem was much more under control. Still gets a bit moist but nowhere near what it was doing (over 80 RH which can lead to mold and wood damage). So what was done well? The steel I-beams bracing the cracked wall seem to be doing their job.

I refer them to everyone that has basement issues. I got at least a dozen quotes and his cane in the most reasonable. Three of the other basement waterproofing companies started bickering over each other's quotes and were completely unprofessional they had even tried getting us involved in their bickering, very sad. Al and his team showed up on time everyday. Their basement work has a warranty that is transferable to the new owners of we sold the house. After the work was done, we put up drywall and have yet to have a problem. It's been several years, still bone dry. We are very glad we chose Adonnis waterproofing.

He explained everything to me and addressed my concerns. Julian and his team came back exactly one week later. They arrived on time and were very kind and professional. I was unable to move my washer and dryer, but they had no problem taking care of it for me. When finished, they moved and hooked everything back up for me. Throughout the process, Julian showed me exactly what they were doing which I really appreciated. They even connected the drain hose from my furnace to the drain tile. No additional cost. Julian had multiple ways I could pay which I really appreciated too. My basement has been dry ever since they completed their work. I highly recommend Wizard Basement Waterproofing to everyone.

No games, just clear communication. Pablo and the crew were excellent. They got right to work, moved fast, and kept everything clean the whole time. You can tell they know exactly what they're doing. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was done properly, not just quickly. We had a foundation crack repaired, a French drain installed, and new underground gutter lines run. Everything looks great and was done the right way with solid materials. What stood out most was how efficient and professional the whole crew was from start to finish. No shortcuts, no mess left behind. Would definitely recommend them if you want the job done right the first time.

A warning to those looking to hire Finn Christensen & Son out of Racine…read more I recently needed some minor drainage work done. Raising on a french drain, and installation/repair of a downspout and french drain. The owner, Kevin, came to my house, and reviewed the project. He was very polite and professional. Verbally estimated the job at $1500 and close to a full day of work. A few weeks later - two guys came and did the work, left without customer approval or notice. The invoice comes a few days later to the tune of $1750. 12 hours of labor and approx $430 in parts. Parts included ~20' of pvc pipe, 3 90* fittings, 1 y adapter and some misc fittings. Seemed high, but, everyone is on the 'covid excuse' for inflating everything. I call to inquire on the discrepancy in labor. They claim he told me $2000 for a full day (he didn't). So I asked about the 12 hours on the invoice. Two guys came at 8a, and were gone at 11:50a (camera footage validates). That's 8. So an extra 4 hours? She said the owner stopped over (he was here 11 minutes, again - per camera footage). I generally do not write reviews, but this was one of the most unethical expeciences I've had. A company inflating labor hours and presumably parts. Charging multiple customers a day allegdly to 'load the truck'... The worst part, an owner who didn't have the professionalism to contact an upset customer about a billing concerns. In the end, the work done was mostly what was expected, but the entire experience was not optimal. I should have gotten the quote in writing, that was a failure on my side for sure.
