    Answered
    My husband and I purchased my mother's home in 2020. Mom had the basement waterproofed in 2015 for the second time by this company. They waterproofed the basement in 1985 originally and in 2015 when the basement leaked again, I called them out to look at it. They said it was unrelated to the original work, so mom paid over $6000 to get the work done. See receipts. At the end of July 2022, I noticed water coming from the floor at the base of the wall. I called General Waterproofing & Mold Remediation to tell them about the problem and ask them to come look at it. I also spoke with them about the warranty. I texted them a copy of the receipts for the work done in 2015. ******* set up an appointment for someone to come out on 8/10/22. No one showed. I have talked with ******* a couple of times and was told someone would come to the house. Again no one showed or called. Since then I have called several times and have left messages without any further return calls. I spoke with an elderly man (I had his cell phone from when they did the work in 2015) a couple of times, who I believe was the owner, but he told me to call the office because he didn't have much to do with running the business anymore. Also note that the full name of the business is at the beginning of this message. I am very disappointed. I expect them to show up and assess the situation and to keep their warranty on the work done if indeed the problem is related to prior work done. Hopefully you can get this situation resolved.

    Please do not hire anyone and I mean anyone from General Waterproofing Company out of New Albany. IN. I hired them in 2000 to waterproof my basement. I have had to replace items 3 times because basement has flooded. In the last couple of years I have tried repeatedly to get someone to come and investigate a problem I'm having and all I get are excuses. I will be filing a claim. I have had to hire another firm to correct a problem that is causing water to backup in my basement. It causes me to have anxiety attacks because when it rains I never know how much water I will need to get out of my basement.
