"When we moved into this old Victorian we didn't realize we would have a problem with water showing up in our basement every time we had a big rain.
I called A-1 and another company to consult on the problem.  They, of course, were very familiar with this problem and recommended a french drain system into a sump with appropriate pumps to send the water outside.  The salesman (Bob) did a great job of explaining what they would be doing, the materials, and their knowledge of working on old houses.
Because of the vintage of the house (1901) it's a little tricky installing the french drain; normally you put the drain right at the base of the foundation wall; because the foundation in old houses are relatively fragile, you need to put the drain about a foot away from the wall and add a plastic liner to ensure water coming in at the base of the wall is channeled into the drain system.
I liked both company's proposals but decided to go with A-1.
Their crew (maybe 8-9 guys) showed up right on schedule to start 4-day job.  Initially, the foreman thought it might take 5 days but they were able to finish in 4.  I must tell you this was a huge, messy job BUT they did a great job of minimizing the impact on our house.  They helped us consolidate all of our stuff in the center of the basement, built a plastic barrier to protect it, then went to work.
They outlined the location of the drain line and the sump, then began jack-hammering which lasted two days (no napping in our house during that time).  They broke up the basement floor to dig the trench; that left a huge amount of debris to haul out, one 5-gallon bucket at a time.  They lined the trench with the appropriate fabric, then drain rock, then installed the drain pipe. They dug the sump and installed the 2 sump pumps and connected the whole interior system. They drilled through the wall to get the pump output line outside and trenched the line about 40 feet into the yard where they dug a dry well.
Then the finish work: mixing concrete and covering over the drain pipe in the basement. When they finished it was almost as though they hadn't been there. The basement looked as good as before; the yard (and our new landscaping) was undisturbed.
What I especially liked was the things they did to go over and above--things I wouldn't have thought to ask about: they removed a couple of brick columns along the wall that were leftover from now removed waste lines; they added two access drain lines tied into the main system for things like a dehumidifier.
I am very satisfied with all of their work--I definitely got my money's worth. So far, we have a dry basement.
