            I hired AAction Waterproofing to remove mold in the basement and waterproof the basement- they started the work 7 DEC 2021. In the contract it states they will do the work under "negative pressure". They did not. I was working at home, 2 floors up in the front part of the house (different HVAC system), while they work working in the basement of the back part of the house. When they were removing the cement I could "taste" the cement dust 2 floors up- again with a different HVAC system than the one in the room they were working. I got lung issues from the dust, and had eye problems from the dust. They are charging me full price $8,150.00 for the work, while I have spent $8,922.68 to pay for multiple cleanings and duct and HVAC cleaning. This does not include the damage to my health, or my time cleaning, or possible long term complications from living in a house contaminated by cement dust, and probably mold. I have asked that I deduct the extra cost of cleaning my home, and they would not hear of it. They have sent a collection agency after me to pay them full price. I would like them to cancel my bill as I have already paid more in cleaning than the cost to do the work. I think that is very generous on my part, since no money can restore my health or give me my time from this disaster back. I would appreciate your help. I have many more pictures of the dust if needed. Thank you!

            I had a water penetration into my basement in January 2024 where the water main came in. We called AA Action and they sent a person out. He immediately said the only repair is to dig down outside the house and install a membrane to repair the leak. Knowledgeable person. We were told a two week wait initially which was concerning but they found a slot less than a week after the quote. They said two day job, but the soil near the leak was not frozen and they got it done in one day. Disturbingly, they discovered the home builder had installed a PVC pipe into the exterior basement wall to feed the water main for the house into. Hydrostatic pressure from heavy rains forced water through the PVC pipe since it wasn't sealed to the water main resulting in penetration around the pipe. That area in my home has always been damp. So the team cut the PVC pipe flush the exterior wall and applied the membrane. Then they added a protective board and applied membrane to that. Filled and tamped the dirt. Put back the flagstones we had in place. Basement is now less damp, no water coming in. They even replanted a shrub they had to dig up to do the job. All in the cold weather.
