"They advice, and had all our questions answered on sensible and affordable options. Very knowledgeable, prompt, polite, efficient, and thorough team! We are happy with their waterproofing services in our basement (fast sump pump and a grate trench with a discharge line that goes 15 feet to the outside bubbler) as well as crawl space shield installed under our addition. It works well, and Pioneer checked a month later and a year after for inspection and cleaning. A+ work and workers."

"Area was repaired very well, promptly, cleanly, and when the next serious storm hit which prompted flash flood warnings in the area, my basement was dry."

"Replaced water tank Prompt response, professional and excellent service."

"A crew of four came to replace our 2nd floor HVAC system and completed the entire job in little over a day's time. Pricing was good; crew was on-time and communicated progress / status well. This the second time I've used ARS for HVAC work (they replaced our 1st floor furnace a few years ago) and I expect I'll use them again when the 1st floor A/C unit dies."

"We have a circa-1900 bungalow with a fieldstone foundation. The original basement floor was old, thin, and brittle. A large white pine tree that was out front had broken up parts of the floor with its roots over the years, so the floor had numerous potholes through which moisture and musty odors entered the basement. During heavy rainstorms we occasionally observed trickles of water coming in through the foundation. The rainwater rarely got onto the floor itself?there was some kind of French drain system in place, which was adequate enough to hold any water that trickled in?but we could tell from stains on the staircase that the basement had been flooded in a major way at some point in the last 5-6 years, prior to our owning the home. (We think this probably happened in spring of 2011, when so many parts of eastern MA were flooded.) The fact that the pump was burned out was another sign that the basement had been flooded in the past. So, after removing the pine tree that had helped break up the basement floor, we decided to invest in a new floor so our basement would be more usable (drier), and to cut down on the musty smell that seeped into our central A/C system. After shopping around a bit?I didn't like Basement Technologies' pushy sales tactics <em>at all</em>?we decided to go with Real Dry, as their proposal was straightforward and their price was competitive, including a 10% Angie's List discount. <br /> It took a bit longer than expected to get going on our project, but I find this is pretty standard with any contractor. The first order of business was to jackhammer the old floor and remove that debris. This wasn't very time consuming, but it did kick up a lot of dust. Curt's guys were sure to tape around basement doorway and other areas so the fine dust would not get to the first floor. They replaced some woefully inadequate column footers (small boulders, basically) and installed new Lally columns without causing any cracking of walls above, and removed 6-8 inches of musty soil and tree roots. This process seemed to take the most time (2-3 days?), as they had to carry bucketfuls of debris up the steep bulkhead stairs. (The point of lowering the level of the soil was to allow space for gravel and a thicker concrete floor without taking away headspace from our basement. I am 6'4", and my 5'4" wife likes to jump rope in the basement.) The perforated pipes and collection basin for the sump pump were set up, too. A pipe was set up to carry the pumped water away from the house, toward the shrubs and flower gardens at the front corner, near a town storm drain. Once those components of the French drain system were in place and the Lally columns were set up, the vapor barrier, gravel, and new floor were installed. A white vapor barrier was also draped across all walls of the foundation, after some of the mortar in that foundation was replaced. The barrier was nailed to joists and boards around the top of the ceiling, and areas were cut out as needed for windows and other things. Marine grade tape was used to connect the various pieces of vapor barrier.  <br /> In the end, we had a new, relatively level concrete floor without losing any of the headspace we'd had before, and the vapor barrier provided a nice (and unexpected) increase in the amount of light in the basement because it is white and reflective. I wanted to wait a while to see how the basement felt as far as humidity?and how it handled a flooding event?before writing a final review. After the spring the humidity did climb quite a bit, and I noticed some mold growing on a couple of things we'd put back in the basement, such as a baby chair tray, which meant the humidity was indeed high enough to allow molds to thrive. So we bought a dehumidifier to keep the humidity to <50%. The musty smell is long gone, and we haven't seen any signs of rainwater anywhere in the basement except for the collection basin for the sump pump. I assume the pump has gone on a few times, and I now have the dehumidifier draining directly into that basin, but we've never been aware of the pump being on. There are some hairline cracks in the new floor, radiating from a corner where one of walls juts in toward the center and/or from a few columns, but they appear to be superficial. No sign of moisture coming through those cracks, and I assume I can seal them. The floor was given a brushed finish because I thought we might paint it, but thus far we've opted not to paint it. <br /> The only complaint I have?and for some reason a lot of contractors seem to do this?is some excess concrete and/or debris was dumped behind a boulder at the edge of our property instead of being carted away. Not a big deal, but I do wonder why contractors do this without at least asking the homeowners if it's okay. One corner of our asphalt driveway sank under the weight of the gravel-loaded truck, but I consider that my fault because I gave the crew permission to drive the truck onto our back lawn to shorten the distance between the bulkhead and the truck for all those trips back and forth. If I had to make that decision again I probably would've told them to keep the truck on the driveway and away from its corners. But it's not a big deal. <br /> I liked Curt and his crew. They showed up early and stayed late, and it was right around the December holidays. Communication was good, whether was giving me an answer to a question or letting us know that they were about to get loud, or about to head home for the day, or whatever. $16,000 is nothing to sneeze at, but we now have peace of mind that our basement will not flood, which means we can really make use of it?storage, exercise, woodworking, kids stuff, appliances?without worrying. I'm not convinced the vapor barrier is such a great solution as far as limiting humidity, but it did make the basement look much cleaner and brighter, and it prevents any spurts of water through the foundation from passing over the drain and getting onto the floor. So in those ways it was worth the extra cost. <br />"

"I have been meaning to write a review on this company for quite some time. We hired them on 2 different occasions to include a repair on an outdoor faucet and shower as well as to repair a toilet seal. They were super responsive and professional. The work performed was top-notch. We will use them again!"

"I know others have complained about the price and so I contacted our local water testing company for costs. My local company wanted to charge me for individual testing of all the things Environmental was charging me a flat fee for. With my local company I was well over $600 to cover the same testing Environmental was doing for around $200. They sent me the bottles to ship my liquid in and provided me with a free shipping container to send back to them. I didn't have to pay the return postage. I think the entire transaction from placement on Angies List to a report in my hand was about a week or week and a half. I called the number they gave to have someone go over my report with me, which was great. We did have to mitigate a few issues based on the report. Overall, I am completely satisfied and will probably used them on a  yearly basis or so for our well testing. <br />"

"We have a 100 year old rock foundation on one side of our home and multiple leaks were causing real flooding issues. Steve came out with a crew and did excellent work to deal with the runoff. We now have a dry cellar basement and a permanent fix with a new rock trench and sub pump. Incidentally, we wound up with another unrelated leak in another portion of the house and Steve is now assisting with that as well. <br />"
