Get matched with top basement drainage channels installers in Chambersburg, PA

"The team arrived on time to do extensive work on my basement floor and walls and outside underground drainage issues. They worked tirelessly all day to remove old concrete, lay a new pipe system, pour new concrete, install sump pump, and seals. They prepped the walls and sealed and painted with Loxon paint. Radon seals were included in the redone areas. The outside work included installation of a new underground drainage pipe with pop up exit drain. A rubber membrane was installed behind the house siding. We?ve had several days of heavy rain since the waterproofing work was completed and the basement floor and walls have remained dry. We recommend Basement Gurus to other homeowners experiencing waterproofing problems for dependable and satisfying solutions. "

"This was the best team of people to work with. They were courteous, friendly, and willing to help me move things out of the way to install a sump pump. The estimate did not include anything unnecessary, I was treated like an intelligent human being, and the cost was great compared to the big companies. They filled in a gap in the floor and cleaned up afterwards too. My basement no longer leaks when it rains!"

"Outstanding service both with the quoting and install process. Rained a bit last night and the exterior drain seem to work as designed."

"We chose Dan based on his knowledge of the work that needed done. Repaired bowing walls in the basement, installed a french drain around the perimiter of the basement, installed two sumps and replaced a water damaged sill beam at the top of the foundation. The sill beam damage was caused from an outside patio sloping toward the house. The solution was to remove a portion of the patio (not the entire patio), which provided access to the sill beam and rim joist. Replacing the sill beam required jacking the basement joists up to repair the sag in the floor and install the new sill beam. The patio concrete was repaired neatly with a strip seal drain against the house to catch any water draining toward the house. Nice solution to the the problem. Dan provided the most economical solution to my bowing wall problems, carbon fiber straps for the areas where the wall bowing was less severe and steel beams where the wall bowing was much worse. In comparison to other companies quoted, Dan provided the most repair work for the money and in one case 1/3 less. Dan was able to start work within a week, not months like some companies, and finished the work as indicated, could not have asked for more. When the job was complete the area was cleaned up nicely and the concrete work and sill beam replacement looked great. We are very happy with Dan and would recommend him to anyone needing waterproofing work, most economical, fair, upfront, does what he says and completes the job quickly not over a long period of time."

"Good overall experience, knowledgeable team. Installed pump and interior basement drainage."

"We were fortunate to employ Trim-Tek Plumbing to repair a leaking supply line in an upstairs bathroom. Although this project was not a dire emergency, there were visible water stains on the ceiling in the lower level. Eli arrived exactly on time, diagnosed the problem quickly, and repaired the leak in a short time. Eli was both professional and personable. If we encounter any future plumbing problems, we will contact Trim-Tek. Martin C."

"Thompson did a drain system for our entire basement, including two sump pumps, plus treated the area for mold. They also patched some areas on our basement walls, unrelated to the installation of the drain system. They covered our items in the basement with plastic to protect them from dust and laid plastic and paper to protect the flooring from the entrance to our home to the basement door._x000D_|_x000D_|The installation went very well. The finished product looks good and is ready for painting. We've had at least one good rain since the install and so far no leakage. The crew did a good job of cleaning up and removing debris, dust and the plastic. The project was finished on time."

"Service was excellent from start to finish.  All options were thoroughly explained to us and we were offered a one-year service contract, a humidifier, and a thermostat upgrade, all free of charge.  The installation crew was courteous and professional. They explained completely the operation of our new system before they left. I recommend them highly."

"First, I want to say that our major issue with JC Smith is not the quality of the work or the professionalism, but rather the questionable way they do some of their pricing and estimates. Shortly after July 4, we had a pipe burst in our basement which meant that half the drywall on one wall and all the carpeting in our basement needed to be replaced. Having worked with them previously, my husband contacted JC Smith for an estimate. The owner, John, came out himself to do the estimate. He was polite and courteous. He told my husband that they frequently do water damage repair so are familiar with the requirements for insurance reimbursement and that they would take care of and handle everything… even arranging to have our pool table moved when necessary. He assured us that the estimate would include repairing the basement to the same quality it had been prior to the damage. After about 3 weeks (early August) we got the estimate, which wasn’t a big deal because we weren’t in a huge rush. Bill came out to give us the estimate and, just like John, he was very polite and professional. As we were going over the estimate, we inquired about the allowances for padding and carpeting. Bill told us we had an allowance of $3.00 per sq. ft. for carpeting and that the estimate included basic padding. We told him the estimate would have to be corrected because we had upgraded padding and expected the replacement padding to also be upgraded. We wanted to submit the revised estimate to our insurance company. Since he was already out there going over the estimate with us, Bill was hesitant to have to start over and make another trip out, knowing it would take more time, so he told us “If you can keep your carpet selection to $2.70 per sq. ft. then I will make the padding work and ensure you get the padding you want.” We reluctantly (and in hindsight, erroneously) agreed. We did not balk too much at some of the charges since the cost was being covered by our insurance company, especially the almost $3200 charge to paint the basement (one large room) which was a higher charge than what we had paid to have our ENTIRE home (more than double the square footage) painted a couple years prior. Noticing that there were charges for content manipulation and debris haul away, we asked about that and Bill explained that JC Smith would tear up the existing carpeting and move the furniture around to do so and it was also for carpet installation. We asked if that could be done first so we could take care of some pet stains on the concrete floor. He indicated this would not be a problem. So, we gave him a hefty deposit, signed the papers, he said they were scheduling about 3-4 weeks out and he would schedule us as soon as we got our carpet choice to him, and then he left. We went to Home Depot and selected out carpet, meeting the budget he asked us to and sent the sample specs to JC Smith. We figured we were also saving money because Home Depot does free installation. However, fast forward to end of September/early October (almost two months later) and we still had not been contacted. In the meantime, having run out of the ability to wait, we ripped up the old carpeting and disposed of it ourselves so we could treat the stains as necessary. We simply could not wait any longer for JC Smith as 3-4 weeks had turned into two months and we had no idea when work would begin. Work finally began on Friday, October 22 with the carpet installed on Thursday, October 28. Tim, the Project Manager was terrific. Very professional, polite, and did great work. When a MAJOR snafu occurred where the wrong carpet had been ordered, he was quick to try to resolve it. As a compromise, we agreed to keep the wrong carpet if they would replace the carpet in a small room off the basement which now would not match. Everyone was happy. However, nearly a month later, the carpet error still has not been fixed and we are waiting for that to happen. Much of that is due to a billing dispute that we are working to resolve and which I will explain below. As previously mentioned, we were asked to keep our carpet selection at $2.70 rather than $3.00 per square foot to make the padding work. However, as Home Depot does, because the carpet was ordered under my husband’s name, we were also sent a copy of the carpet invoice. JC Smith charged us over $1400 more for carpet/padding than Home Depot charged them. Of course we realize that JC Smith is a business and profits need to be made so we expected mark-ups. What we did not expect was such a large mark-up IN ADDITION to the 17.5% margin they tacked onto the overall bill total. In addition, JC Smith charged us for content manipulation nd debris haul away, which they did not do. When we inquired about it, we were told “Well, the work was performed by one of our subcontractors acting on behalf of JC Smith (i.e. Home Depot).” It made no difference to them that Home Depot did not charge THEM for these actions nor the fact that we had to rip the carper up ourselves. They would not budge on the almost $500 in charges for work that they did not actually do. By their explanation, they could have charged us additional fees to carry the carpet in because, well SOMEONE did it. Didn’t matter if they were charged. When we tried to dispute the cost of the carpet issue with JC Smith, at first, we were rather rudely told “Well actually, your flooring cost $3.64 per square foot so we actually GAVE you an allowance.” The gentleman tried to act as if JC Smith did us a favor, when actually, they just padded their pockets more by us choosing a cheaper carpeting, at their direction. Nevermind the fact that the estimate included an allowance for $3.00 per square foot for carpet alone IN ADDITION to padding. All said, JC Smith charged us $4907 for carpeting/flooring (considering flooring charges, charges for “content manipulation”, charges for “debris haul away” and a 17.5% markup) although they were actually only charged $2220 by Home Depot who actually did the installation…. And didn’t charge JC Smith a dime to move the furniture around. I guess, at the end of the day, the joke is on us for not insisting on a revised estimate. We have tried to come to an agreement with them on removing some of the charges based on us being given false information and also for being charged for work we ultimately had to do ourselves, but the customer service rep has been unwilling to even acknowledge that the billing practices are shady. We have been forced to contact an attorney to discuss our options. At the end of the day, the DID do good work. I would just recommend that you ask any and ALL questions up front and make sure you fully understand their rather complicated (by design I assume) estimate and pricing document. Otherwise, you’ll be charged far more than you probably should be."

"We had a pipe so clogged it needed to be removed and replaced. Bob Jones Plumbing came to our house very quickly, they worked efficiently and cleaned up their mess. There were 3/4 men there working for 3 hours. It cost $800. The only issue I have is that they removed all the insulation in the wall and didn't replace it (or advise us to replace it). When we had a cold snap a few weeks later the pipes froze up several times."
