City Wide addressed water issues in the basement that I had put off because I anticipated that the cost would be prohibitive. Casey the customer service rep came out and provided several options for addressing the water issues with the associated costs, which were reasonable.
In order to do the work the air conditioner needed to be moved as well. The company arranged for this to occur at a reasonable price, which was included as part of the cost. Also, we had a fence door that needed to be taken down temporarily.
The company used blueskin as one of the waterproofing barriers and so the work was able to be done just before Christmas despite cold temperatures. When investigating another company they used a waterproof spray which had temperature limits in that it could not be used below a certain temperature.
The fellows came out and moved the air conditioner into the garage, dug the trench with shovels with minimal mess, moved the fence and dug below a deck. They encountered a surprise with old pool water lines that entered the house when the pool pump used to be in the basement. These were cut and filled with hydraulic cement.
Following waterproofing, the eavestrough downspout was reconnected to the storm sewer, the fence was reinstalled and the site was restored into better condition that when they arrived.
Shortly after the work was done we had a week of rain and had no water leaks.
Customer service and the tradesmen were tremendous!
