After getting several different bids/estimates from big name waterproofing companies I was told so…read moremany different things that my home needed ranging from $5,000-$90,000!!! I was so stressed over what to do with my home since none of the treatment options were the same. I was told everything from an epoxy sealer to numerous piers. I was recommended to Quakers through another person and found their reviews to be amazing. I called and spoke with the owners wife who is the secretary. She was extremely kind and helpful and got her husband out to inspect my home in a reasonable time frame. The owner (also a local police officer) who is actually the son of the original owner spoke with me and came to my home for the evaluation. He found absolutely nothing wrong with my home that required waterproofing. He said the cracks I was seeing to my walls were due to poor drywall craftsmanship and he wouldn't do a thing to my home other than maybe get a general contractor out to redo the drywall if the cracks bothered me that much. He even walked around and explained each area in detail to me and showed me how the cracks would look if it was being caused by water. He did tell me the only foundation issue I had was related to my driveway and front porch and gave me the name of a company to call to have it looked at since it was not directly attached to my home and in no way affecting my homes foundation. He also gave me the name of a structural engineer to call for a structural evaluation if I had any reason to doubt his findings. He said if the engineer found anything he'd come back and re-evaluate those findings. I actually contacted both people the driveway lifters and the engineer and had our driveway repaired and the engineering report conducted. The driveway was an easy affordable fix and the engineer was also affordable and found nothing wrong with our home that all these other big name waterproofing companies said I needed. The fact that he didn't try and sell me something I didn't need like four other companies tried to do is very NOBLE and HONEST!!! I could've spent a small fortune on my home for no reason at all. Solid family business with core values. Would recommend.

I don't think people understand what it feels like to have your home ripped open.

We did a fair amount of internet research on the various suggested solutions and on the companies we had heard from.

Everything about dealing with them was professional. Calls were returned promptly. Questions answered quickly. The project was completed as promised and on time. The crew was respectful of our home and property and did everything they could to mitigate the noise and inconvenience. They even went so far as to hook up the washer and dryer when they were done, without being asked, after we expressed some concern about being able to use them while the cement cured. When the crew left, the work area was spotless and the whole process had been much less painful than we expected. I would absolutely recommend Permajack of St. Louis.

Extra Long Post Warning:…read more I chose Stratum for my window well drainage because they have, across the board, glowing reviews. I mean glowing. By and large, those reviews are probably well earned. Here's my experience... I first met with a salesman named Matt. Matt is great. He definitely gave me a bit of a hard sell, but I get it. But I made my own decision in the end. I will say that never have I been walked through a process with as much care and detail as Matt provided. He is lovely. If anything, I would say he doesn't have to sell quite so hard. I was scheduled for a one-day job on June 20. On June 19, the head construction guy (don't remember his name, let's call him Rick) called me to say that if I really, really insisted on them coming the next day, he would make it work, but they really couldn't because they were behind. It was a bit of a strange guilt trip, but whatever. Ohhhhkay, fine. When can you schedule me?, I asked. Rick tells me, "Well, without looking at my calendar closely I can give you July 3." I thought 2 weeks was kind of an extensive delay but I haven't been busy this summer so I said okay. (I was hesitant about taking the day right before a holiday weekend, but I was assured it was a one-day job.) So July 3 arrives. Keep in mind that Matt has been in contact this whole time, being sure I was kept in the loop. On the morning of July 3, a crew arrives and the crew leader, (maybe his name was Keith?) went over the work. But! The paperwork was missing a key part--a new window well and window well cover, which was part of my bid. I explained that to Keith and he said they will make it work. I left to grab coffee and when I returned, an older guy was there to tell me that they wouldn't be able to do the window well and cover because it's not in the contract and they don't have the time. I think this guy is Rick, the one who has rescheduled me from June 20. "I'm trying to get my guys out early because of the holiday," he says. He also takes me down to my basement, where the work is happening, and says he's sure he'll be back again soon because I need more drainage than just what they're doing today. I wanna pause here and talk about gender. It was clear that Rick didn't totally respect me because I'm a single woman living on my own. He talked down to me terribly. I hate saying this because everyone else was great. And the guilt!! I totally get the desire to have your employees done early before a holiday, but the new well and cover were part of the contract and my work was already been delayed two weeks. While Rick and I were trying to figure this out, Keith walked up at that point and informed Rick that Matt had confirmed I had paid for the well and cover. At this point, I felt incredibly awkward because it seems like there was some kind of miscommunication I wasn't part of. Please know that most of this process was really positive. Keith was wonderful. A born leader. He was kind, competent, and cleaned the basement area so well. The crew had a really good rapport with each other. And I honestly can't say enough good about Matt. Would I choose them again? Maybe. Matt is truly awesome, and everyone other than Rick was absolutely fantastic. I mean, these guys were teaching each other stuff and so supportive. They were really sweet about my cat and just so professional. Oh! And for those interested in cost. I had one window well drain installed, connected to one sump pump. The downpayment was $1400 and the remainder was $3400.

Two words that make every homeowner cringe are, "Wet basement"…read more It doesn't matter if it is inches deep or just minor seeping around the edges. It's still a major repair that needs immediate attention. It's better to do it, sooner than, later. My house has only a partial basement, the majority of it is finished crawl space. I have a laundry room upstairs, so all that is in my basement is the furnace and extensive shelving units for storage. With that being stated, I rarely have any need to go down into my basement. When I did venture down after one of the early spring down pours, I discovered I had an issue. It wasn't major, but I wanted it fixed before it became one. Again, being new to the RIverbend area, I reached out to friends and family for recommendations. Everyone of them said the same thing, "Midwest Basement". So it was a no-brainer on calling them to do the job. They came and gave me an estimate, explained what they would be doing and told me what I needed to move to make the work area more accessible. When scheduling a time, they were accommodating to my unique work schedule. Best of all, it was a smooth job and they completed the job faster and easier than anticipated. I could not have been happier with the work team. They were all very professional, friendly and respectful of my property. Their clean-up at the end of each day was impressive in itself. The weather has been dry since my work was completed, so I'm waiting for the next rain to really check things out. However, a friend who used them in the past, lived in his house for another 13 years after the work was completed and never had water again. I'm hoping for the same positive results.
