Work Performed: Mainline Waterproofing removed the old French drain system, installed 86 feet of new drains and a new sump pump (including the basin), and flushed the old drain system beneath the bathroom to insure it was working properly. They also closed up the ash trap from the fireplace (which had previously been converted to gas) at our request. They treated the walls for mold, which was visible in some areas, due to the failure of the old system.

Responded quickly to our telephone call for an estimate. Herb came over to look at the job and was thorough in examining the space and explaining what needed to be done. Price was very fair, and Herb was agreeable to negotiate the price when we offered to do the preparation/demolition work ahead of time (removing 3 base cabinets and opening up the drywall 2-3 feet up from the floor level), which saved us over $500. They were flexible with scheduling…the first date we agreed upon became a problem for us, so they rescheduled a better time to accommodate our needs. The crew showed up on a Monday morning around 9 a.m., and finished the project by 4:30. Crew leader Mark and the rest of the guys worked very hard; some areas of our basement have limited access, and they had to break up concrete by hand. They worked together as a team, even in the pouring rain. The basement was left in good condition that night; two crew members came back the next morning to do a final sweep-up. Herb came over, too, for a final inspection and gave us a walk-through and demonstration of the pump (which had been working overnight).
