Jeff, the owner has worked for both of the big companies, and is awesome! He understands old houses and the men working for him are problem solvers. I received quotes from both Basement Doctors & another highly advertised one and was appalled at their lack of knowledge of the structure of old( mine was built in1902),basements and their disregard of some of my concerns, which I believe was a lack of knowledge also. His price was fair, low enough , and he put in the outside line with the ice guard and also, without additional cost, added pipes to drain the water from my downspouts away from my house. Will definitely use him again if the need arises!”
