Get matched with top basement drainage channels installers in Fisher, 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...."

"Jeffrey completed our work on 8/2/21 in a very professional manner and kept us updated during the entire project. We had to have new drainage installed to take the water away from the house and had to have our driveway lifted and cracks filled. He cleaned up the area and even later the grass back where he had to dig trenches in our front yard."

"They were really good and they did a good job. The price was not bad for what they did. They came very quickly and they were very professional. I just looked in the phone book and chose them."

"The system they installed prevents ground water to come up through the floors and redirect water to a main sump pump that they installed as well. We haven't had any water problems in our basement since installation of this system and they provide a lifetime warranty for your basement to stay dry, a warranty that is even transferable when the home is sold. The work was done in a total of two days by 3 or 4 people. The work was done satisfactory, the crew cleaned up after themselves and used cardboard on the floor to minimize dirt and dust from spreading when entering and leaving the home. People were great to work with, and received an informal in house estimate that was done very professionally. <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."

"Given estimate/price of $300. Told they would stop by at a later date and install. I was a smaller project and would fit in when they were in the area working on another project,, and then I would be billed. That is what happened."

"Helitech kept in touch to schedule the appointment.  The crew arrived on time, completed the job to my satisfaction and kept the work area as neat as possible. <br />"

"Lanz was the highest of 4 quotes from local plumbers when I was looking to have multiple plumbing jobs completed, including the purchase and installation of a new water heater. I went with Lanz on the water heater only because they were quick to respond and were able to install it 2 days after my request. The Lanz rep, Ken, was very professional. On installation day, he had a younger guy helping him who seemed to struggle quite a bit and scratched up some furniture while bringing the new water heater in. He also left a large pipe in the yard that I had to dispose of. I chose to go with the least expensive water heater and still paid $1439.21 with Lanz. Others were significantly lower in price, but definitely not as quick to respond or schedule."

"Went great! No problems especially considering the recent flooding! <br />"

"It went great!!! Not one complaint. Very efficient ."
