Testimonials for Omni Basement Systems

Before Omni, our basement was a mess. We had a free-standing sump pump that would get caught and stop working, along with puddles that would form at different spots throughout the basement. We had a family member use Omni to waterproof their basement a few months back, and they referred Omni to us with raving reviews. We gave them a call, and their associate that came to our house to assess our basement couldn't have been more professional, kind, and genuine. They outlined their innovative solutions for each problem our basement had. There was no up-selling or use of confusing jargon. Instead, we worked as a team to figure out the root causes of our basement problems, and find the perfect solution for each. Our services included a new sump pump system, that is enclosed, quiet, efficient, and very discreet. We also had the water guard system installed along the entire perimeter of our basement. You can tell that Omni truly cares about providing their customers with the best solutions for any situation. The price was very competitive, the service was completed ahead of schedule, and interacting with every staff member at every step of the way was an absolute pleasure. They provide you with a helpful breakdown of services, costs, and expectations at every touch point. I highly recommend Omni to all our friends and family for any basement needs.

Basement Waterproofing We chose Omni upon recommendation from our neighbours, and we're so glad we did. We had 3 companies in to give us quotes, and could tell quite quickly that with basement waterproofing, you get what you pay for. Omni wasn't the cheapest quote, but we're confident they did the best job. We had a crack in our basement foundation that had been "repaired" numerous times by the previous owners. We wanted to fix the problem once and for all, before we started the process of finishing the basement. From start to finish, Omni were very professional and are clearly experts in their trade. We were more than satisfied with the job that Omni did and we feel confident that our water problems are behind us. We wholeheartedly recommend Omni to anyone.

Crawlspace Encapsulation Omni's team was amazing and professional, alleviating much of the anxiety that comes with such a large project. Their sales team helped us put together a project that fit our needs and addressed our concerns completely with full transparency and break down of costs. As helpful as they were, the most impressive was the crew that worked on our crawlspace. They took great care with our property, and delivered on a crawlspace I honestly did not think possible. I would heavily recommend Omni to be a part of any basement/crawlspace repair project.

Thank you kindly. I'd like to say it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with your company.  I liked receiving the book ahead of time so I could read up on your products and understand how you waterproof. Our salesman Phil was wonderful. Very helpful and I liked how the quote was done with me on the same day and explained to me what I was paying for. And the the crew that did the work was exceptionally friendly,  polite, and helpful.  I wish all contracting companies were so easy to deal with.

"We're very happy. Anytime we hear about someone having problems with their basement, we will say 'Go to Omni'!" The basement in Ray B.'s Oakland, ON had a strong ammonia odor, which for a while they credited to the fact that they kept their cat's litter box there. The odor however kept getting stronger no matter how often they cleaned the kitty litter, so it occurred to them that the source could be something else: mold.  Sure enough, after inspecting the basement Ray and his wife did find mold hidden behind a finished wall around a leaky basement window, the books in a shelf that was leaning against it and the carpet underneath. After removing all the moldy materials from the basement, Ray decided to look over the internet for a company to fix the moisture and mold problem. That is how they found Omni Basement Systems. After the inspection visit and written estimate, Ray knew Omni was the right company for the job. Not only the price was much more affordable, but the solutions proposed and products installed for the price made much more sense to him, compared to the competition.

Every single time it rained, Elfie's basement would flood. Not only was this a strain on her and her family but it was a strain on her bank account, cleaning and drying after even the slightest storm. After having a perimeter drain system installed- complete with sump pump system- Elfie has had no reported leakage problems, dampness or flooding in her basement. A Basement Systems drain, installed with a connected sump pump system, is one of the most effective and efficient ways to prevent your basement from being over-run by water. The drain collects the water and channels it to the pump where it is moved out and away from your house, preventing the water from reentering. Omni Basement Systems has won numerous national awards and has been recognized for its outstanding customer relations and product line. Our own patented WaterGuard and DryTrak systems come with lifetime warranties that are transferrable if the house is ever sold. Contact Omni Basement Systems today for a FREE waterproofing estimate.

Being constructed below ground level, basements and crawl spaces are subject to water leaking and damage more often than other parts of your home. This constant infiltration can cost hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars in clean-up and repair costs. Tony had spent an abundance of money on refinishing his leaky basement with no end to the problem...until he contacted Omni Basement Systems. After installing a drainage system, Tony had a sump pump system put in to further keep his basement dry. By spending a little money now on a full drainage system, you can easily make that money back in the future in not repeatedly spending money on cleaning costs and rebuilding damaged walls and flooring. The installation now will also last for years and is guaranteed in writing. Call now to ensure a drier future. Contact Omni Basement Systems for a FREE estimate.

  A very common area for water to enter into a basement is the basement window. Even if the window is closed tight, water can still leak in around the outside of the window if it is not sealed or is lined with weather stripping properly. Tom had this problem as well as water leaking in at the floor/wall juncture.   By sealing the windows and not allowing water to come in and installing a perimeter drain system around the outer edge of the basement (where the water was coming in), Omni Basement solved Tom’s water problems.   There are many areas where water can enter a basement. Some are obvious and some are much more subtle. Only a trained professional like the ones at Omni Basement knows them all and can educate you on the ones that may be troubling you…and what can be done to stop them.   In order to set up a meeting with one of our skilled experts for your FREE waterproofing estimate and price quote, simply call us and talk to one of our trained assistants.

Tom and Norma were experiencing a common cause of water infiltration in basements; hydrostatic pressure. This occurs when outside soil pushes in on water resting or pooling along the outside of a homes foundation. The pressure becomes so great that it forces water through the porous concrete blocks or the cement walls of your foundation and into your basement. The WaterGuard system of drains that Omni Basement uses exclusively, have a 3/8" lip that extends upwards to collect any moisture that may leak in and run down the foundation wall. That water is then channeled through the drains into a sump pump that sends the water out of your basement. Each Basement Systems dealer has a number of options of drain systems in their quiver of installations. Each one a bit different than the other, to work the best in each different scenario. That attention to detail and not subscribing to the "one size fits all" mentality that many contractors adhere to, sets Basement Systems companies like Omni Basements apart from and above the rest.
