"This is a great company to use in making a 141 year old basement waterproof. I look foreward to having a waterproo basemant. Craig was pleasant and went the extra mile to make the experience great."

"We’ve had waterproofing and eggress with bdry and they are awesome. Reliable, great work, and priced well."

"I got bids from 5 contractors. 3 of them backed out immediately and the 4th didn't have good references. Musick had stellar references, stuck with me through the financing process which lasted months and answered all questions and concerns I had. Most of all he had the confidence in himself and his crew to do the job right. My new foundation looks amazing and I can't be happier with the job that they did. Too bad they don't do everything because I'd definitely hire them."

"Workers on time. Did not finish first day due to rain second day they did not arrive until late after another job to seamed hurried. They were careful not to cause a mass inside but I had a day's cleanup in the basement. Works pleasant."

"It has taken me almost 2-years to write this review, so I hope they have improved. My experience was awful. It had been a very rainy May and the basement kept getting water in it. I called Helitech and a competitor and both were really busy. Chose Helitech because they could get there sooner. Salesman promised me they would start the work in about 2-weeks -- work wasn't done until late August. I was told they had a big job at a nursing home that had to be done first. My job was not a minor cheap change but $5,000 and not one I thought would be put on the back burner. The people in the office were just about nonexistent; I'd call and leave messages and they were never returned. Just terrible customer support! The actual work that was done was good. And while the team of workers were nice, I had proof that they had gone through some of my things in the basement. I found one of the items upstairs proving they had moved it. The whole project put me behind three months of putting the house up for sale and left me with a bad taste for this business."

"John S Walsh is  very responsive and efficient right form the beginning, understand my concern and problem, <br /> He comes for estimate and give me quote almost the same day. John is the owner of both Safe-Guard Basement Technologies, Inc. and Ram Jack Foundation Solution.  I contact 4 to 5 contractors, John is the most efficient and responsive to all my questions. <br /> They sent out 4 people, very efficient, within one and a half day, all work completed.I am very satisfy with their work, Highly recommended. <br />"

"These guys are fantastic! It's a family business, consisting of Eddie (the father) and two sons, plus one other employee. They are all honest, reliable and hard-working men. They were kind and thoughtful, and absolutely professional in the 1.5 weeks we dealt with them. At our request, they were particularly mindful of our cat, so that we could prevent his and quot;escapeand quot; during all of the entering and exiting required, while not confining him to a single room unless absolutely necessary. <br /> We called Eddie Ross Construction because we had made three previous attempts to address our damp basement problem, and instead of fixing it, the solutions other people offered culminated in making the issue much worse. <br /> 1. Water was flowing near our front door, leaving a wet ground spot that iced over in winter. So, water was re-routed to other side of house, which caused flooding in neighbor's drive (and made sump pump work too hard to push out water, so... <br /> 2. Second person called in to route water to street. They attached a pipe underground to do so, but strangely enough, no water ever came out other end. We found out this was because they used a perforated pipe (placed at the wrong angle), which cause ground to be perpetually wet a few inches below grass. Furthermore, the water was flowing back toward the house, so... <br /> 3. Third person came and suggested a dehumidifier to counteract the increasing damp we were experiencing. <br /> We were unaware what the ramifications of the above three procedures were, but we knew the problem was getting worse, not better, so we FINALLY found some true professionals. Enter Eddie Ross Construction. <br /> They did all of the work we listed in the and quot;Services Performedand quot; section of this review, all the while explaining why and how things had gone wrong before. In fact, it was because of these previous and quot;fixesand quot; that we needed so much rock fill, because the ground was so saturated, that whenever they would dig, the mud would collapse and they had to make the trench deeper! It was messy, hard work, but these guys were up to it. They even managed to save a favorite Rose of Sharon bush that was right in the midst of all this construction. Our front yard is small, and the location tight (on a busy highway), but they managed to get their heavy equipment in and out and maneuver it all like a well-choreographed dance. It was amazing to watch. <br /> These guys met challenges head-on and solved them quickly. One challenge was that they had to work with another group when it was discovered that our water meter needed to be moved and an underground pipe replaced. The two groups worked out logistics efficiently and helped each other to get it done. <br /> The next challenge was when the hot exhaust from the machinery melted a bit of our siding. This was a hazard that simply could not have been avoided, although it was unexpected, as the work site was extremely tight. The guys let us know right away about that problem, and immediately offered a solution to how they would fix it, which, of course, they did. You'd never know now that it had happened. <br /> Value-added service: <br /> - Added sturdy, stylish handrail per our request (which they procured) <br /> - Suggested a new mailbox to fit our sleek, new front-of-house look, which they procured for us and expertly attached to the house <br /> - When replacing long front sidewalk, suggested we align it with front door, instead of slightly off-center as the old one had been <br /> <br /> To sum up, these guys treated the job, and our home, as if it was their own. They took extra care to make sure everything was as perfect as it could be. We cannot praise them enough for their professionalism, and we finally have real solutions to the problems we had been dealing with. The basement is perfectly dry, the sump pump does not struggle to push water out, and the front of the house looks great! <br />"

"They installed 5 plates against the wall and attached them to the other side of the driveway where they drilled down. It pulled the wall back up and all is secure and lifetime warranty that is transferable. Happy with results."

"We live in a house with a full basement that was built in 1915.  The house has three full stories.  We had noticed a new plaster crack in the second story and wanted to be sure the foundation was stable.  The representative came, looked at the foundation and basement, and pointed out a few things we could do ourselves to keep the foundation area dryer.  He also told us that the plaster crack was caused by settling from the weight of the house on the support beams in the basement (not basement walls).  He explained what they could do to improve the support system in the basement and gave us a quote if we wanted to do the work, but was honest enough to tell us that the house was very stable in its present condition, which is what we really wanted to know."
