After watching the (ground level) window well in my front yard fill entirely with water one incredibly rainy day about three years ago when I happened to be in the "cellar," and then let go with all of the water seeping around the frame and down my wall... well I finally understood that damp & musty smell my basement always had. Btw, the spot is not directly under the window but off to the side which is why I always thought water was seeping in through the foundation on the side wall where the stain mostly is (water does move downhill haha). Pioneer Basement responded quickly, gave me several options and quotes, and made financing easy. We decided about two years ago to waterproof only part of the basement since that's the area that is usually damp. We also went with the thermal vapor wrap on that part of the wall, and added the dehumidifier which was optional but recommended. Completely solved our problem - and ended the musty scary haunted basement stink entirely. Fast forward to now. I'm again randomly in the basement (for an internet wiring issue) and notice the absolute faintest but-still-I'm-not-imagining-it damp smell. Yup, after another of the crazy rains we've had this year, and... not at a wall but once again about a foot away from another ground level basement window, a small puddle. Of course, it's at a spot without the drain, sump pump, vapor wrap we'd invested in for part of the basement. Once again, Pioneer Basement sent an estimator over within a day or two - polite, knowledgeable, and quick to deliver multiple quotes (finish the full perimeter, do a smaller portion, consider adding window enclosures to tie into the drainage system...) and financing options. This is a company that delivers a high quality critical product, with a great warranty, at a fair and equitable price. They offer exceptional customer service. Your basement will thank you for having them do your waterproofing. And you'll never need to be scared of opening that cellar door again.

Exceptionally poor, slow-to-no response in simply scheduling an appointment. Took the time off of…read morework only to receive a call just before the difficult-to-schedule appointment to inform that the appointment was cancelled, claiming the one person in the entire company who could do this work was out sick. They would not return the (steep, expensive, overpriced) deposit via the card they charged upon our request, instead saying they could send another person same-day as the appointment after all -- despite supposedly having only one staffer specializing in the particular work we had scheduled out sick (the things that make you go hmm...). Gut feeling told me not to trust their work at that point. The company being too cheap to pay the transaction fee to refund the card they charged for the deposit, instead they issued a refund check needing to be cashed at their specific bank. Absolute refusal to refund the card we paid the deposit with. We cashed the check same day, questioning whether the company had even enough cash on hand to refund us (not a joke). Instead of apologizing for the whole miserable ordeal as business and customer service etiquette would dictate, instead they demeaned us for becoming upset over some really seriously bad bad bad customer service.

I was impressed and then allowed them to do the floor in my boiler room, which they wanted to do at the time. The exterior part of this wall is brick, which I had repointed by another firm a couple of years ago. The floor waterproofing work was not successful, as I got water in again after a heavy rain storm. I called them, emailed and txted with no response. I did so for a month. The reason people will primarily go to a larger firm for waterproofing and not give these independent folks a shot is because of situations like this. I have no recourse to get value for this job which they require payment in cash, they have taken my money. So in conclusion, be aware.

In addition, these guys are not insured for waterproofing services, they're insured for painting. We had these "contractors" come to determine why our basement flooded and they recommended french drains.

When he came out to do the work, we realized that the water table around the house had risen to the extent that I would also need French drains. We also looked at the existing sump pump and knew that it needed to be replaced as well. I gave Mark and additional check for $900 as a deposit for the new work that needed to be done. After, drilling a large hole in my basement floor for the new sump pump, and receiving the $900 check, Mark and his co-worker left my house and I haven't seen or heard from him since despite calling, texting and emailing him. That was 16 days ago in counting. There are buckets and buckets of cement debris piled up in my basement along with a gaping hole with standing water in it. Now the rains are coming today, and I have a barely sufficient sump pump and am out $1600 - all for trusting someone I never should have. I'm exceedingly disappointed about all of this but more so, saddened that people can be so dishonest.
