"Hi! We've written before but feel compelled to write again. We live ON the Pawtuxet River and always had problems with the water table and basement flooding. About 12 years ago (we think) we installed your system. Well, we are on the other side of Wellington Ave/Elmwood Ave, the site of major flooding from the March 2010 flooding. While many of our neighbors (not even ON the river) experienced enormous problems, our pump worked continuously as the river rose to within 100 feet of our house. Not a drop of water in our basement (except a little from our ancient bulkhead, which we fixed with a tarp). I can't tell you what a relief this has been in the face of this local disaster - our house would be gone by now.

Thank God we did it...so glad we installed the system!

"Hello Pioneer Basement,

Please print this out and share this with your president and your staff.

In this horrible storm, and all of the recent bad rains, I have been so very grateful to the work done to my basement by Pioneer Basement. My basement floor is dry. I don't have to watch the water poke into the walls. I don't have to worry and cry and be overwhelmed. I can remember the faces of the men who worked so very hard here for almost a week in 2006, but I can't remember all of their names. Your work on my behalf is something I am most grateful for. I have thanked you silently for the past four years now, but today, with the water running outside as bad as it is, I had to drop your company a note. I am grateful for the designers of the Pioneer Basement system, for the man who came out to describe it to me, especially for the men who did back-breaking labor to install it and the people who've come out to improve and maintain it. Your company is full of integrity and has saved my sanity. Our problem had been so bad, and now it is well-managed.

Thank you all for the great work you do. I'm sure lots of other homeowners are thanking you this week, but may not take the moment to write you.
Sincerely,

Susie Leahy & Michael White
North Kingstown, Rhode Island"


"Thank you, every one of you, for the system you put in our house 6-7 years ago. Thanks to Pioneer Basement we're dry. Our pump has been running every few minutes pumping out a gallon or so each time. Thank you all!!

"After 15 years of flooding & raw sewage in my basement, I finally called you guys about 5 years ago. You installed a battery backup sump system with an additional pump backup and a dehumidifier. You also recommended the French drain system.

Boy am I glad I had this work done. Although my pump has been working nearly non-stop these past couple of weeks, there is NO SIGN OF WATER in my basement. I converted my basement to a home theater 3 years ago and would be devastated if I lost that expensive equipment to water damage.
Thank you, Pioneer Basement.

"I just wanted to say thanks!

We use to always flood, this time around we didn’t get a drop of water in our basement.

Thank you so much!

Waltham, MA"

"Steve,
I hope everything is well with you. I just wanted to send along a note to thank you for the work you did in our cellar last year. The recent rainfalls stressed the systems you put in but they did the job. Not a drop of water was in our cellar and yet some of our neighbors are still pumping out water. We never knew if the systems would work because the pumps have never had to turn on (I think the trenches you made were enough to keep water out of the cellar) but I can attest the pumps do work and were working every 3-4 minutes!

Take care,
Cynthia Lessard Holliston, MA"

"I bring to your attention the experience that i have had, over the past several months, with persons employed by your firm.

Having a wet basement, at my second home, in Mashpee, MA for a number of years; along with trying many different attempts at trying to fix the problem, without any success, a friend suggested that a call be made both to your office and that of your local competitor.

I proceeded to do just that after conducting some research, on your business, as well as on the other firm. This subsequently resulted in visits to my home, on several different occasions, by your Pat Robertson and the marketing representattive from firm X.

Pat was on time for each visit, very neat in appearance, cordial, personable, listened well, a problem solver, firm grip on product knowledge and knew when to close the contract.

Following a similar number of meetings with the repfesentative from the other company, my wife and I gave the work to Pat.

After signing through Pat for the work to be done, my next internal contact was with Tina. Tina, sight unseen, the voice of the office. A fine, pleasant, professional manner.

Tina referred me to Michael Griggs for extablishing a start date. Michael and I talked. Through no fault of his, we had to change the date two or three different times. A decided plasure working through Michael. Flexible, reasonable, accommodating.

Come Wednesday, August 28th, Al Raposa, Crew Chief, Hector and Michelle arrived for the two-day assignment. Arrival time was consistent with what Michael had earlier given to me.

The men were competent, complimented each other, and put in a no nonsense full workday. The following day, John replaced Michelle and he fit right in.

I have experienced three down pours since job completion. For the first time in a number of years, the basement is dry and without an odor. A great relief.

The aforementioned persons, in this day and age, are a real asset to Pioneer Basement and Waterproofing. In my judgement you are fortunate to have them.
Yours truly,
Wallace Kountze
Medford, MA"


"Your crew . . . was remarkable. I am still amazed the job was completed in less than 8 hours. I would recommend your company to anyone. To those comparing prices, they need to not only look at the end result, but the care that will be taken to one's property as the work process and the time frame the job will be completed in."

"I am taking the time to drop you a letter to express my appreciation for the job your crew performed today. The work was accomplished professionally, quickly and neatly . . . By the way, one of the reasons I decided to select Pioneer was the Better Business Bureau report indicating that you have had no complaints over the last 3 years."
James C. DeCamp
Acton, MA



"Congratulations! Great Job! Zero Water!

I also want to commend you on your staff, supervised by the foreman. His first objective was the safety of my property, something that I greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your return to complete the outside work."

"I was totally surprised at how fast this large project was completed. I am a contractor and thus truly appreciate workmanship that is both fast and of high quality.

Your work crews were all that plus very courteous, careful to protect my personal property from dust and debris and cleaned up very well."
Daniel Marr & Son
Milton, MA 02186



"Your Salesman, Pat Robertson, was courteous, professional and honest. He was a pleasure to work with.

Your crew worked very hard, and were extremely pleasant and professional. Care was taken to ensure my lawn and finished basement were not compromised in any way. I would recommend your company to anyone."

"From the moment in which I spoke with the secretary upon my initial call and to the end of the job we were treated as if we were your only clients and that our satisfaction mattered to you.

Your crew is exceptional, too! The men were very professional and neat."
Nancy Basler

"Just a short note to let you know that we are very satisfied with the job that your company performed at our house in Brindgewater . We have had no water in our basement after the past snow/rain storm. Flooding would have been a given without the new system."
Doug Carey
Bridgewater, MA



"I would just like to drop a note of thanks to you and your staff for a job very well done at my home.

With the weather being rainy and wet in the last few weeks, our basement would have surely been flooded. We’re happy to report it’s as dry as a bone!"
Michael & Suzanne McLaughlin

"As I sit here writing, it is poring outside. I am so happy to report that since April when you installed your system note one drop of water have we gotten! Great! I wish I had done it before."
