Doug Lacey’s Basement Systems

Very eager to take your deposit but diagnose was wrong on their end and deposit non refundable! Maybe they could use better expertise when reviewing the job and every excuse to keep your money.

Very happy with my entire experience with this company. Work done as scheduled and rep and installers very professional. Would use them again and will recommend them to others that may need their driveways or walkway fixed.

I highly recommend this company. We had a problem with water coming into our basement, through a window well and also along the floor. Tried other solutions and nothing was working the water kept coming in every time there was a big rain. Basement solutions offered what we thought would be a lasting fix for this. From start to finish, they were professional, helpful and positive. They returned my calls immediately, an appointment was booked for them to come out & assess the situation. They mailed me information in the mail that arrived promptly.,. Our sales person Ron Rinkel was excellent, he was patient and thoroughly explained what he felt needed to be done to mitigate our problem. On the day of the repair, “Shaddy” our foreman, was prompt and communicative .... asked questions and listened to find out what was really important to me and then followed through on making sure it happened. We are super picky & I did not want a sloppy job. They did a really good job. The actual work itself is professional. There’s nothing that I looked at it and thought oh I wish they did a better job of finishing or cleaning up. I’m really happy with the work that was done and the professional and consultative nature of every person we dealt with. Will our water situation be solved now? I believe it will. It is October,2018, and so I won’t know until it rains in Spring 2019 if what they did actually works.

Had system for 7 years. Was called for an annual inspection. $125. Technician Marc was in the house less than 5 minutes. Said I needed a new pump. $700 and 15 minutes later gone. Tried to upsell me on $3000 worth of extras. This was a rental and I was not there to hear the pump. If the pump was so good why did it fail after 7 years? Anyway pumps are only $200 bucks should have done it myself. Lesson learned.

The service was excellent starting from the free estimate to the completion of the work. Our radon levels were significantly lowered and that gives me peace of mind for my family's health. I highly recommend doing business with this company.

Had my yearly maintenance check from Doug Lacy's Basements. I had Feiross come out to perform the maintenance. Feiross was very attentive and knowledgeable. Every question was answered and always offered additional ideas. Did a great job in a timely manner and was respectful of his surroundings. Thanks again!

Feiross was conducting the annual service of sump pump. There's poor lighting in that area so I got a lamp. Immediately Feiross noticed the moisture on the walls. We checked the rest of the basement and noticed leaks in other areas.
The previous owners installed the sump pump, but not the more costly wall system, and wall ducts.
I appreciate the way Feiross took the time to explain the issues thoroughly, as well as provide two quotes. He ensured I understood, and often repeated information for me to take notes. I am thoroughly impressed with Feiross, and Basement Systems Calgary.

Extremely overpriced. $6500 for 38 feet of drain and a sump pump install. Probably less than $500 worth of material. 4 hours of labour for 2 installers to complete the work. Thats some pretty good profit margins. Hope they feel good about taking advantage of trusting people. Sleazy sales tactics also. They offer a small discount if you sign up the same say the sales person shows up. That's called pressure sales. Stay away from this company. There are better our there that don't gouge you.

Had one pourous wall due to neighbors driveway runoff and they suggested the inside channel and sump pump so as to not having to dig up and then replace that driveway. Quoted me a price then dropped 10%( clearly a marketing ploy) but was still fairly reasonable and the job was completed quickly. My problem was the outside drainage, they left it graded the wrong direction on a snow bank, sticking out like a sore thumb(see attached pic). When I complained was told they would come back when the snow was gone and dig a trench, May came and I hired someone else to do it since they didn't bother to stay in contact and keep me updated as to their timetable

Have an annual service of my sump pump and battery back up. Service Tech Marc L completed the service and noted that the battery needed to be replaced.

The service was done efficiently and he was able to replace the backup battery in the same service call which was great.

Have nothing but good things to say about this company and their technicians.
