Tim Pratt was wonderful. He came to our house in Elkins, WV after calling to let us know he was coming. He was very friendly, professional, and kind. We did not feel pressured, and he considered several estimates. I highly recommend that you give him a raise in his pay. You do not want to loose him.

Michael Cornecelli came to my house to do a basement inspection. I have a crack and a bowed wall and water leaks in. He was very thorough and detailed in the inspection. He explained everything that was wrong and exactly how they could fix the grounds. I’m very happy with the level of detail and customer service. I give him a 10/10.

Had my basement window well replaced by Bix after it started to cave in and fill with water after a storm. They were quick to come out and price it and got me scheduled quick as well. They came out on time and got the work done in a timely manner. The workers were friendly and professional. After a few rains they did a great job of coming back out and smoothing out the fill dirt and reseeding. I would definitely use them again.

Doug was great. Came within the two hour window I was quoted at price was the exact same amount as I was told. I had a few concerns about the drain in my yard being a little clocked out turned out. It was Pine Yneedles, but Doug went the extra mile cleaned it out for me. Highly recommend giving them A call if you have any issues or looking to get a sump pump or basement drainage system.
