From the initial call to Al, to the estimate meeting, to end of job, John and his team of Logan and Dante were professional, courteous and most helpful answering all of my questions to my satisfaction. They kept me informed of what was going on and the plan for the next day. They tidied up at the end of each day to minimize disruption to us. Work was done as promised with no delays. I would definitely recommend Ontario Wet Basements to anyone who is thinking about it. Thanks guys.

Fantastic service. Logan who repaired our floor and wall crack was awesome. He treated us with upmost respect and professionalism as well did Al. Al gave us couple options for us to choose from to resolve our issue. And explained benifits of each scenario. Had 3 different companies quote our basement. Of the 3, we chose wet Ontario basement solutions. For many reasons. But the biggest one is we felt they were fair and not trying to make it bigger than it had to be. the other companies were trying to just generate big revenue to solving our small issue in a unefficient manner. Had a company tell

I had two very pleasant and hardworking boys at my house just before Christmas to fix the water in my basement. It was a big job and they worked hard to get it done within the time frame I was provided. They were courteous and professional from the time they arrived until they left. I was so pleased to see the precautions taken to keep my house tidy during the construction phase.(especially during the holidays) Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend them if you want to have piece of mind that the work is done properly. Also very nice to support a local business. Thank you!

Not recommended. Unfortunately, customer service was severely lacking. Upon finishing 3 days of hard work, they very reluctantly returned to fix sloppy work - saggy membrane, unsealed sump pump with missing gaskets, duct-taped drain ends... I was made to feel unreasonable for expecting complete work before paying a hefty sum. So much for their claim of "100% customer satisfaction guaranteed", especially for a local family business. I was yelled at and badgered to pay the remainder before as the crew walked out the door. The check valve failed and needed to be replaced after 6 months and Al refused

Al was pleasant and easy to deal with. He had an estimator out to my home quickly who was able to explain the process to me and provide a quote on the spot. It was a busy time of year for Al but he was able to squeeze my job in with a week or so. The staff he sent to repair my foundation crack were on time, pleasant to deal with and cleaned the site up nicely. Zero complaints here from start to finish. I would definitely recommend.
