Get matched with top basement drainage channels installers in Deer-creek, IL

"Over the past number of years I have had a variety of issues with my basement to the point that it has become unusable as living space. The detriments included seepage, some flooding, mold/musty smell and cracked/bowed walls. Over time these problems have become more severe. An adjoining crawlspace suffered from some of these symptoms as well. I read enough to know a de-watering solution was needed. I suspected it would be a sizable project and I was wanting to hire a team with considerable experience that would take a consultative approach to the solution I needed rather than just closing another sale. Pivotal was the perfect choice. They know the technologies and the proper installation methods. I would expect those qualities with any company that is reasonably competent. The difference with Pivotal was the people. I honestly do not know how they could have been more helpful. They answered all of my questions, communicated well, they were always on time, and did exactly the things to which we agreed. Integrity is clearly a very high priority with everyone in their company. Projects of this type are extremely demanding physically and every employee who was involved in this work was up to the task demonstrating a very positive attitude and strong work ethic. I cannot say enough good things about this group of people. The work was completed 3/18/2020. At this writing we have not had any severe weather yet so this review is not about the system which was installed. Its effectiveness remains to be tested (but, I am confident my problems are solved). I do know this. The people at Pivotal are great to work with, and they made the entire project as painless as it could possibly be. One afterthought: Let me offer a bit of advice to those considering this type of project in their basement. I did not anticipate (even though Pivotal made it clear) the removal of some of the existing concrete floor creates a significant amount of dust. We had a number of things on stand-alone shelving which we moved away from the walls to the centre of the basement out of the work area. I merely hung plastic sheeting from the floor joists above creating a plastic wall to block the dust. This had minimal affect and was insufficient. I highly recommend taking the time to ensure everything you choose to leave in your basement during the process is well covered and even taped to minimize the settling dust. Most of my things were in plastic tote containers which helped considerably. But, covering those and the non-protected items with garbage bags or wrapped in sheets of plastic would have been a better choice as now I get to spend some time removing a fine layer of concrete dust from everything. A word to the wise...."

"Good work in general; our basement no longer sees water for over 3 years now, which is the most important thing. But there were some real issues: The biggest issue is that USW did not adhere to local electrical codes, and did not arrange for a final inspection of the project. So we didn't find out that it wasn't to code until years later, and now it's a big hassle and minor cost to fix and get the permits. Ask your local gov yourself what you need to do for permits and inspections; don't rely on USW! USW said they would seal any foundation cracks found along the way; they didn't do this until I bugged the warranty dept about it (but they did do it eventually). USW sent someone out for the "annual checkup"... over 2 years after the install. It's a good thing they (eventually) did, because they discovered the backup battery wasn't charging. Now I know to check this stuff better myself. Prices also vary wildly and are kind of negotiable (I'd give more detail but I'm out of space)"

"Their service was great and we are enjoying the final results of the egress window they installed."

"Joe reached out quickly and with the assistance of Alupe, they were able to swiftly install a new lock & snap floor professionally over a poorly tiled/grouted situation. There was a small snafu with the wax ring and leaking water from the toilet to the basement after the floor installation and Joe & Alupe came out immediately to remedy the leak. Joe also patched a hole in our upper level ceiling AND a small hole on the outside of our home. All is well and we will DEFINITELY have them back for future services!"

"Five years ago my wife and I had our house pierced. We thought the company was reputable and would stand by their product. We had over 25 piers installed. However our basement foundation continued to settle. We thought we had a lifetime warranty. At least that's what the salesman told us, but when we called him back out the company could not stand by it because it was an act of god that their product failed. We called Advanced Foundation Repair and Replacement. Frank Matyiko came out the next day with a structural engineer and they concluded that the only fix would be a new basement. They cautiously demolished our old foundation and hauled it away. We have a new 9 foot basement. We wish we never paid for the piercing originally. They provide service for the smallest foundation to the most radical job imaginable. Great job guys!!!

"Dimitri did a very good job on our hallway. He managed to paint a very tight corner without getting any grey paint on our newly installed white trim. He has a very steady hand with the brush. The grey paint did bleed through the tape onto the baseboard trim in a couple locations but he made certain to repaint the trim and not just leave it up to us to fix. That was very professional of him.

"Came to repair pipes leaking in my basement on a Sunday. No one else I called could do it or they never called me back. He contained 2 hours after I put in the Angie’s List request. Highly recommend him"
