    Ed
  • You and your crew did a great job in our base­ment and crawl­space. You went the extra mile to insure that all of our water seep­age prob­lems are over. We would rec­om­mend you high­ly to oth­er peo­ple. Your qual­i­ty and time­ly work out­match­es all the others.

  • Thank you for final­ly get­ting rid of my flood­ing prob­lem. I had almost resigned myself to liv­ing with the Black Lagoon in my base­ment. You were able to iden­ti­fy the real prob­lem with my leak by using some empir­i­cal evi­dence rather than guess­ing and charg­ing me for fan­tas­ti­cal projects. Above all, you talked to me as if l am an intel­li­gent per­son instead of the lit­tle lady” who needs her hus­band to make a deci­sion. Final­ly, the extent and care of your pro­pos­al, with its exten­sive pic­tures, con­vinced me that you are an hon­est bro­ker. My base­ment stayed dry despite the recent tor­ren­tial rains. I would be hap­py to rec­om­mend your work.

  • We con­tract­ed Fam­i­ly Water­proof­ing Solu­tions for exte­ri­or wall seal­ing and foun­da­tion crack repair ser­vices. Ken was very thor­ough in explain­ing the work that would be done, and his crew did a great job. This busi­ness was a plea­sure to work with.
