Good crew workers, but absolutely terrible communication from the office staff and supervisors!…read more The guy who did the initial inspection and estimate didn't describe the layout of our crawlspace to the crew correctly, so our 1-day job couldn't be finished on Day 1 (and because the on-site crew couldn't reach any supervisors to get guidance on how to proceed with a new plan since the original plan wasn't right). So a 1-day job that started on July 20th didn't get done until August 1st because they kept saying the crew was coming on a certain date/time but nobody would show up, so I'd contact the office again and they'd say the crew was coming but nobody would show up, and when the crew did finally get back here they had been told that we had removed a bush that was in the exact spot they needed to put a drain BUT NOBODY HAD MENTIONED REMOVING A BUSH TO US! And, once again, the crew couldn't get in contact with the supervisor! When he did finally talk to a supervisor they asked him if we wanted to have the drain set up in a different way that would mean the job got done that same day BUT their warranty would be invalid!! UM NO are you serious?! Absolutely asinine way to do business, I am shocked that they still get customers at all! So yeah, nobody from the office had called after the first appointment went awry to explain the situation and what they would be doing to fix it, nobody called when we had complained of the lack of communication to explain what was going on, but you can be SURE they billed me immediately after the job was finally done! No delays or waiting around to hear from their billing department haha. We will take our business elsewhere next time we need work like this done, for sure.

I had a horrible experience with this company. I thought they had a good reputation, but their…read moreservice was shoddy and incomplete. I had to hire another company to repair and complete my project. When I tried to reach the salesperson, he was rude and then wouldn't answer my calls. I would NOT recommend them to anyone.

Finding out you have a serious problem with your crawl space in that water is standing and has…read moreevidently for some time sent chills down my back. What a blessing that I contacted Swain Co. Mike Smith of the company inspected the issue proposed a fix that included a drainage system and sump pump. He also assured me that they could take care what ever issue they may find down there. His estimate was very reasonable. The work started when they said it would. WHAT A WEIGHT LIFTED FROM MY SHOULDERS. When the three man crew arrived and introduced themselves and the supervisor outlined what they would be doing and when they expected to complete the job. The supervisor, Efrain, and Salvador and Eddie gave me confidence I was in great hands. Now this is something you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore; but I have never seen three men work so hard and professionally as those three did. Efrain kept me totally abreast of the progress with before and after videos. I know I have restricted myself in the past to restaurant reviews as my wife and I are foodies. But I learned there are "artists" in other fields of work as well. Swain Co and their people are one class act as ND I would hghly recommend them for any crawl space, foundation or basement issues. You won't see them advertising on TV like other companies because they don't need to. Word of mouth by previous customer service have kept them very very busy.

I was super frustrated for a moment but Austin stuck with it and helped me a lot. The system was a little mixed up about the status and I think that contributed to the confusion.

I would give zero stars if that were an option. I genuinely don't feel this company deserves even…read moreone. They completed work at my home three months ago, and almost immediately issues started coming up. I asked them to come back out to re-evaluate, and when they finally did, that visit went poorly and clearly needs to be redone. Since then, more than two months have passed with absolutely no effort on their part to correct the situation. Meanwhile, the problem has only continued to get worse. I have reached out repeatedly trying to get back on the schedule, and I've been met with delays, excuses, and empty promises. It's beyond frustrating at this point. What makes this even more upsetting is that I paid top dollar specifically because I wanted the job done correctly the first time. Instead, I'm left with worsening issues and zero accountability. Scott keeps saying he's "reaching out," but nothing ever actually happens. I'm exhausted from chasing a company I already paid. This experience has been incredibly disappointing and completely unacceptable.

It's rare to find a company that has the policies, procedures & business acumen that focuses on…read moredelivering outstanding customer service! The employees and service provided by Indians Crawl.Space were outstanding. I called for an estimate to repair damage to my crawl space. Larry arrived exactly as scheduled to inspect & provide me with 2 viable options to repair the damage. After learning about the 2 options, the benefits associated with encapsulating my crawl space were obvious ... despite the increase in cost. The team leader assigned to my project, James Patton did an outstanding job and took the time to explain & actually show me the work performed. After completing the job, he went above and beyond by sending me a series of "before" and "after" photos of my crawl space. This review would be incomplete without mentioning the outstanding customer service provided by the office member, Erica. She called to initially schedule, confirm and provide a detailed outline of what to expect, including the name of the Team Lead and their arrival time. Every person associated with the company should be acknowledged for their commitment to quality service & competitive pricing!

I contacted Indiana Crawl Space Repair for some work I'm needing done in my crawl space. I listed…read moreon my request to be quotes for the following work: -Joist replacements -vapor barrier installation (never had one in) -old insulation removal (installed wrong) -new insulation installation -some work near the sill plate to fix a small leak Let me first say that all the staff I talked with were incredibly friendly! I will pay extra for companies that go above and beyond, and for that reason I was leaning towards Indiana Crawl Space Repair. Whoever mans the phone over there is very kind! I knew when I purchased my home that a few of the joists would need replaced. I confirmed what the inspector told me by getting a quote for the work with another company- about 4K was their estimate, which included a newly found issue, MOLD... I'm reluctant to pay that much, so I wanted a second opinion. So I called ICSR and informed them of the findings and requested an itemized quote for all issues now found. They were quick and polite ! We scheduled a visit only 2 weeks out, which worked fine for me. I allowed the technician to begin the inspection before I arrived back home. He was younger than I would have expected, but courteous none-the-less. The issue was the quote and it's amount. The quote work was exhaustive in the work he believed was needed, which included a very fancy drain system. It also included some other items that I didn't request that would "ensure my crawlspace not retain water"- although this isn't my issue because the crawl doesn't flood. The real issue I saw was that the biggest portion of my original requests- the joists- weren't even included in the cost estimation... when I asked him why he said because he could see no damage. After a few extra questions on how that could be, I discovered that he didn't remove any of the old insulation to check the joists, and only assessed what was visible to the naked eye. The total costs for work I didn't ask for, and for work that didn't address my biggest concern was $12k all in all!! I don't believe his intention was to sticker shock me; i'm just not sure he knew exactly what I was looking for with the work I requested. My rating here was hard to assess- in terms of employees, I would give 5 Stars... in terms of costs I would say more like 2 Star. I will mention, I've been told for all the work they quoted, the price really wasn't bad. Just not what I was looking for.

Asked the company to install a egress window, the salesman was prompt in visiting, however, HE…read moredidn't tell about that they don't regularly install "other vendors egress window". Scheduled the work. The crew was again prompt in starting time. The lead and I discussed the job. There was a problem with the intake for my furnace, it a 3 inch PVC fitting. They didn't even consider moving it over 6 inches. That would make the window open properly. About a week later, the window leaked, caused water and mud to come in all over the newly laid flooring. The window was and still off by 1/2, this causes the window to not open. After my phone calls, especially to the manager, Jeremy. who ever had the balls to return my call, I ended up talking with the salesman "christian". He dragged the phone Conversations out for over 2 weeks. And still, the end result was no results. I contacted a local foundation contractor, he stated that the entire window was installed wrong. The installation included improper insulation, inadequate gravel, below the window and the window itself. I asked Christian to split the repair cost, estimated to be $5,000, he dragged his feet again, and No return calls from "Jeremy". After another week of waiting, Christian finally responded. Crossroads would fix "Their PROBLEM for another $6,200. He alsi stated that the company doesn't fix other vendors windows. He didn't tell me this until the disscussion and it was never discussed at the initial estimate meeting or by the crew. My contractor is doing the work for $ 2,500 and I WIKLL meet A representaive of the entity IN small claims court.

However, there were 4 cracks to be filled. They filled 3 but not the worse one. They said it wasn't in the contract. They would do it for $175.00 cash. I only had a credit card so they left it. I have the picture they drew showing what was to be done but the manager said I was wrong. He told me he would send them back for $500. Seriously?? The picture shows the length of the repair job. 16.5 feet, I measured my area....16.5 feet. So the worst crack across the threshold of my porch is still there.
