5/5 for Mikes honesty and professionalism…read more I had a moisture problem behind a corner in my basement so I called Arid and spoke with Mike. He came out and took a look at let me know that my particular situation didn't require his services, but he did let me know exactly what needed to be done to solve the problem. I don't know anything about this sort of stuff so he could have easily taken advantage of my ignorance. If I ever do have another problem, Mike will be my first call, and I would recommend him to anyone else who asks.

After contacting this company, the owner (Patrick) listened and observed the pictures I posted on…read morethe site. Then he recommended a plumber (Mazzone) that would fix one facet of the whole issue. After the owner of the plumbing company came out and fixed what he needed to quickly and at a very reasonable price the worker from Arid came out to view the final phase of my problem. Patrick (the owner) gave me an appointment for his workers to install a sump pump. The first pictures are of the check valve portion of the project. The second picture is an extension installed by Mazzone to my check valve two feet below my basement floor. The third set of pictures are from the completed job by Arid. The workers from Arid were very polite and worked quickly and very effectively with a great deal of carefulness for my home and living spaces. I completely recommend both these companies for any waterproofing projects you may find that you need.

I spent about three plus hours with Marvin/Program Manager as he filled me in on Waterproofing 101…read more It was very educational for me and taught me a lot of things I didn't know. Can I be a waterproof specialist? I doubt it but I am much more educated on the matter. Prices are very good and transparent at all levels. Proposals are easy to understand and no reading small print, because there are none. The owner Steve will match competitor pricing if lower than what Blue Umbrella offers. A crew of four came. Jose, foreman, did a great job! He was responsible and the crew were timely. Jose even helped me reinstall the dehumidifier to the new sump pump area. They took away all the garbage too! The crew had two large trucks and seemed to have everything down to a science. One truck replaces the other once all the dirt from the basement gets loaded. My job was finished in two days because I needed additional work but this was explained to me and I had agreed to the extra service and charge. Knowing in advance is a good thing! Steve, the owner, came out to meet the me on day one. It was nice of him to come out and meet his client. After having a conversation earlier in the week, I can say Steve is very feisty and passionate about his company. During the early stages, Marvin made sure to show me an additional footer ledge was needed and I wasn't charge for something made up. Everything overt! No surprises or hidden wallet breakers! At the end of the job, a customer appreciation care box came to my attention! This review will keep Blue Umbrella's five star record on track! Great to help local businesses! Everyone should have a Blue Umbrella to protect from nasty water leaks!

I'm really glad I reached out to Blue Umbrella! The inspector, Luis G, was very knowledgeable,…read moreno-nonsense, and didn't do a "hard sell" (compared to an inspector from a different company who came the day before). He brought out a small model to explain how a sump pump works, and how it relates to the home's original foundation drain, cement foundation slab, cinder blocks, etc. He was also patient with me as I asked MANY questions (especially straightening out the false information I received from the previous "hard sell" inspector from a different company). Now I want Luis to be here to provide better explanations for my plumbing, A/C, and other house repair issues! :) Thanks Blue Umbrella!

The experience of having a roof installation can be stressful. However, the entire team at Jersey…read moreRoofing made the entire process easy and calm. From the sales team to the installation, and customer service, everyone was helpful and responsive. The installation crew and foremen were knowledgeable and kept the team on schedule working into darkness. Clean up was amazing. No debris was left overnight or the next day. Nails were vacuumed, even attic spaces were vacuumed. I can not say enough about Minn!!!! When customer service is no longer valued, she exemplifies what it means to put the customer first. She answered all my questions (no matter how trivial) with respect and kindness. She was extremely responsive dispatching a team (prior to the installation) when I had a ice damming leak She kept us inform throughout the installation process. If I could give them 10 stars I would. GREAT JOB!!

Working with Darek, Jerry, and their team has been a great experience despite of the damage,…read morefinancially and emotionally, caused by the flooding in our house due to the recent thunderstorms. This was the second time working with this team. As expected, Darek put our interest in the center of his recommendation without any up charge because of the neighborhood we are in. We were treated fairly with full transparency. Darek was responsive and patience helping us to navigate a viable solution within our budget and needs. Jerry and his team were prompt arriving on the target date and time. They've gone above and beyond ensuring timely completion of the project and diligent follow up to ensure quality work being delivered. I would recommend Jersey Dry Waterproofing for any of the waterproofing project, planned or unplanned.

I have such mixed feelings about All County. After years of a recurring damp spot in my basement, I…read morefinally determined that French drains were the most likely solution. After several estimates, I landed on All County. I recommend them, but with some major reservations, and here are the deets: Sales: very responsive (naturally! They want your business.), and thorough with answering questions and explaining the process. Price: competitive with all the other estimates I got. Project: this is where things start to get dicey. Guys showed up on time. No project leader, just the workers. Language barriers made communication tricky at times. This was problematic as the salesman had described a certain construction approach, but these guys were doing something else. I had to call the salesman a couple of times during construction for clarification or for him to speak with the workers. That should have been a red flag. Also, this work was done in winter, and although it seems like common sense in hindsight, no one told me to turn off the central forced air heat. A fine layer of dust coated everything in my home (and some of the flooring they dug up in the basement to install the French drain was asbestos tile...ugh). How could they not ensure the heat was off before starting such a messy project?! Afterwards Part 1: I began getting water in areas of my basement I'd never had water before (although the original damp area, which had prompted me to install French drains in the first place, remained dry). I had to call the salesman several times in the weeks and months that followed. To his credit, he was always very responsive, although he couldn't understand or explain what was going on. After several months of repeated calls and visits, they finally decided to dig up the flooring in the area where I was getting the most water. Again, workers showed up with no project leader and a major language barrier. What they uncovered was incredibly suspicious to me: there was a quarter-sized hole in the main sewer pipe (that pipe was jutting out of my basement floor in an area that had been dug up to install the drains and was located in the area where water would occasionally mysteriously appear). The workers showed it to me, and it was evident "someone" had accidentally punctured the pipe and tried to repair it by gluing a bent metal piece over the hole. The guys cemented it up with waterproof cement and repaired the area of the floor they'd dug up. The alternative would have been to replace the entire pipe for mega $$$$, which I refused to do since they assured me their fix should be adequate. They did not charge me for this work, and rightfully so. Afterwards Part 2: I was having a final inspection for a new furnace that had been installed four years ago (yes, my town was late to the party!). The furnace was fine, but the inspector found a huge crack in one of the vents coming out of the furnace. The ductwork was tucked away in a corner area behind the furnace that's tight and not easy to get to, an area where no one would ever go...unless you were installing French drains and needed to access the entire perimeter of my basement! The inspector said the crack meant that the furnace was just blowing carbon monoxide back into my home(!). I had to get that repaired at my expense. Since the furnace was only four years old and everything was on good order except the crack, it was obvious it had been damaged (as opposed to a defect due to age). Of course, there's no evidence either of these damages were caused by All County. However, both were issues that didn't arise until AFTER they installed the drains. And both were problems that were located in areas of my basement that only they had been in or had access to. At the end of the day, it would seem the water issue was addressed. However, the French drains cost me much more than just French drains when all was said and done. If you use All County, proceed with caution.
