Get matched with top basement drainage channels installers in Saint Charles, MI

"After discovering two cracks in my basement foundation—one of which was actively leaking during a recent heavy rain and flooding event—I called for a repair. I spoke with James on the phone, and he was able to fit me into their schedule quickly despite the busy weather. Both James and Eric came out to the house and efficiently assessed the situation, determining both cracks needed injection. They completed the work in just a couple of hours and were professional, personable, and took the time to explain the process and clean up thoroughly. I 100% recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to call them again for future work."

"Excellent work by Hunter K., Jacey H., and Teddy F.!!! I was so impressed with the encapsulation of my crawlspace that I immediately scheduled for the crew to come back and encapsulate my basement! They were very careful and attended to details, communicated every step of the process, made sure I understood what they were doing and why, and that I was pleased with the work. The space looks, smells, and feels amazing!!! Thank you to the best crew around!!!"

"Salesperson was overconfident and slightly pushy. They had to push back our project over 2 weeks after it was scheduled. They cut down many shrubs and left the mess for us to clean up and dispose of. We were told they would cover all of our belongings prior to starting. They only covered about 1/3 of the items in the basement and everything that wasn't covered was left a mess. The installers did not complete the entire project in the way we were told it would be done. Still waiting for Spring to make sure the basement doesn't leak, may revise my review after ensuring it is truly water proofed."

"They arrived on time, and told me it would be no problem to do the work. However, when I asked if I needed to have the hole cut in my ceiling for them to work or if they cut the hole, their response was that if I didn't do it, they would do it with a hammer. Then, they scribbled an estimate on the back of their business card. I decided not to hire them."

"We went with another contractor who provided a written estimate/proposal when he came to see the issue. Mike gave us a quote over the phone. The price was similar to the contractor we went with, however, due to the fact that the contractor we went with came out to see the work, he discovered a rod hole leak that he will also repair. We now have fewer worries that the scope of work and the price will not escalate upon contractor arrival."

"<p>They attempted to clean up but they couldn't because the sewer was broken. They showed up at 11:30 AM when they were supposed to come at 8:00 AM. We did not even know if those guys were professional or not. Definitively, they could not solve the problem. The sewer could not be fixed almost at once. But, I think that I am going to use them in the future. </p>"

"My service tech, Jordan Foy, called promptly in the morning and arrived right on schedule. He was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job installing my sump pump and the underground line. He made sure I approved of what he was going to do each step of the way. He was also very nice to my golden retriever puppy who wanted to be his assistant. I will be using Ayers Basement Systems again for additional work on my basement next spring."

"Very well, he gave me a price, and he did all the plumbing for my house. Extremely satisfied"

"I had a substantial amount of water coming in my (broken) floor drains from the spring snow melt/rains so I called my plumber first and he instantly recognized it was a waterproofing issue.  He highly recommended BCL, and I trust him, so I called them first. The owner came out and did the inspection and provided a very thorough explanation of the process.  I had a LOT of questions and he answered them completely.  He also left a nice folder of information that filled in some of the details. <br /> He noted that one wall was bowing inward about an inch and recommended stabilizers, but I opted not to install them at this time because the problem isn't severe.  As a dutiful consumer, I called one other local company (competitively priced but gruff and unfriendly) and two national companies.  Both nationals came in at $2500 - $3k higher.  (They have to pay for all that advertising somehow.) <br /> The job was quoted as a two-day job and 4 workers showed up exactly on time and quickly got to work.  I peeked in a few times during the day and they were very friendly, showing me what they were doing and answering my questions.  The trench was dug, drain tile installed, inspected by the city, and operational by the end of the day, which made me thrilled since I still had water coming up through the drains.  It was all gone within an hour.  They came back at 9 AM the next day to install the channel cove and pour the cement to seal up the system and were done by 1 PM. <br /> It was messy and noisy during the process but they cleaned up pretty well when they finished, and they even threw in a bonus job:  I had to do a lot of prep work, including pulling dozens of planks of wood that the previous homeowner had nailed onto the walls (no idea why), and BCL hauled it all away.  That part was huge for me since I don't have a truck and would have had to somehow get it to the city dump myself.  I was quite happy with the overall process, starting from the friendly and informative inspection all the way through completion and cleanup.  Thanks BCL! <br />"

"Two major jobs, 4 minor repairs - excellent work! Quick response w/ quote and when work was done; very fair price; work took 1 day for the sump pump and minor jobs & the next day the back-up pump was installed (in case I lose electrical power) Mr. Boertman was professional, friendly, punctual and did a very good job. I highly recommend this firm. Note: I am writing this now instead of right when the work was completed because I have not previously used the Angie's List site."
