A phenomenal, professional experience from start to finish. Had to have a new drainage pipe installed for our sump pump. Every interaction I had with someone at Basement Gurus was professional and simply down to earth. I highly recommend their services and will be using them again in the future.

Josh and the crew were extremely thorough in their evaluation and execution of my basement. I have a cinder block foundation and was in need of a full French drain which they did with ease. Every window was tapped and a new sump pump pit was made. I’m very satisfied!

Sump Pump Installation or Replacement

My wife and I purchased our home in June in a flood zone. There was hydrostatic pressure causing foundation wall bowing. There was a sump pit and some sort of drainage system, but that thing cycled constantly day and night. The deluge of rain last month caused water to start coming up through the basement floor flooding the finished basement. The existing drain system failed. I immediately began researching reputable waterproofing companies to come out, diagnose the problem and provide a cure. The very next day I heard back from Basement Gurus. I was informed that with the influx of calls due to the local area flooding the owner of the company himself would come out that weekend to assess the issue. Dan arrived on time and got right to work inspecting the problem in the basement. He brought my wife and I upstairs and took time to explain the problem and a proposed solution. It was self-evident that the product he would be installing was quality, that they really were going to literally get to the root of the problem by digging down the foundations footer. The scope of the work described was clear: they weren't afraid to work hard and they weren't cutting any corners. He wrote up a quote within our price range and what my research indicated was more than reasonable. He felt so confident in his proposed solution and teams ability to solve the problem that he offered a lifetime transferable guarantee we would never have this problem again which was included on the contract. We felt so comfortable with the proposal that we locked in on the spot. His team arranged to come out as soon as possible and they arrived about 8 am the day of the project with about 15 guys. Wow! This guy means business. For us, this meant a great likelihood that the extensive project wouldn't drag on (unlike this review). They worked all day and were done and cleaned up by about 5. Since the job was finished the sump went from cycling every 57 seconds day and night, to cycling just once a day, 10 days later. I can finally sleep at night without hearing the water hammer from the sump pump constantly. With how often the sump was cycling I couldn't even find enough time to swap out the check valve for a quiet one. I am planning on fixing that this weekend! So far we are more than impressed. I feel confident that this problem is solved for good, and if anything goes wrong I trust that Dan and his team will make it right. This guy oozes passion for what he does and it is very clear he actually cares about the people he is serving. He is clearly knowledgeable, his team is equally extraordinary. If you have any waterproofing needs, do yourself a favor and let this guy come out to propose a solution for you. If our experience is any indication I feel confident to say that you won't regret it. If you are asking why you should trust a stranger know that I received nothing in exchange for writing this review. I am just a grateful home owner who understands how stressful a water emergency in the basement can be. If I can help one person find the same relief that we have experienced than it was well worth the hour it took for me to write this. Thanks Dan et al!

The Gurus were quick in response, helped me understand what my issue was and gave me options. I definitely would recommend them. And they didn't mess the entire wall or floor. I highly recommend them.
