Jackson Ramsay came to check out a problem with our de-humidifier. He did a fantastic job. Found the problem (it was off balance), corrected the problem and then checked out every aspect of our encapsulation. He went above and beyond what was necessary. I was extremely pleased. Thank you for the great service.

These guys did an amazing job to my crawlspace. Austin Moody, John Noyola, Roy Ruiz, Johnathan Ruiz great team of guys! In and out in, they hustled and busted their tails to get the job done. Looks amazing under there now. Hardly knew they guys were here, weren't too loud and cleaned up the mess very well. Austin was very well at explaining the whole process and what they were working on throughout the process. Definitely recommend!

The 3 guys who worked at my house were amazing. Gary Hacker has the best skills of any worker I"ve ever encountered. Ben Palmer and Axel Perez were also awesome. I will recommend Tar Heel Basement to everyone. I am 67 and the work that Gary Hacker, Ben, and Axel did on my floors will out last me by years. If I could adopt all 3 of them I would.

Five stars is not enough for the crew that worked on our crawl space this past week! Mike J, Dillon Y, and Andy L were the most knowledgeable, hard working team we have ever seen. They constantly went above and beyond to offer the very best customer service by repairing several items not covered in our initial quote. If you need help with your basement or crawl space look no further! Thank you guys for giving us piece of mind.

Jonathan and his team was very honest, knowledgeable, and thorough! Jonathan took the time to explain the solution options to me. He was always pleasant and friendly even though I may have needed more attention to understand the solution options. When we found the source of my basement leak, it turned out that I only needed a simple repair! He even helped me to move forward with it! I highly recommend Jonathan, his team, and Tar Heel Basement Systems! Thank you!

We had Tarheel Basement do some leveling concrete work at our church. They were extremely professional, efficient, and friendly. They also cleaned up when the job was done. I hope I get their names right-Joe and Josh (working in place of Thomas) -did an outstanding job. I would absolutely recommend them!

Cannot recommend more highly. Tim Martin came out and knew immediately what to do. Professional crew created new drainage trough and installed a newer, more effective sump pump. Great communicators, prompt and swift service and fully warranted service. Exactly the kind of company I like doing business with. Would not hesitate to call them for help again and again (but, hope I don't have to…hah!!). Well done Tim Martin!

Great job by Ken, Stephen, and Tyler B. You can tell they were prepared and had a ton of knowledge of these systems. Looks clean and helped out with moving some of the bigger stuff too. Well done all around and can finally finish our basement!

Jess W and Zack B just finished lifting a 6' x 8' concrete slab and stabilizing a much larger one that I hope will stop the leak that I am having in a basement wall. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and quite graciously willing to put up with me watching them do their work, which I found fascinating. If I ever need additional work done TarHeel is who I will call. I can't wait to powerwash once the caulk has dried.

So beyond pleased with Tarheel Basement Systems! I'm a 2-year customer as of this week. A complete encapsulation, french drains, sump pump and dehumidifier. I receive an inspection each year around this time, my representative was John Snow, was amazing, so polite, punctual, kept me up to date on his arrival via text and phone, it was so pleasant seeing someone who "gets" customer service , and John does! He informed me my dehumidifier was not working, and would be replaced under warranty, and like clockwork as John said, he replaced it today! The easiest replacement ever, he arrived worked diligently, above and beyond! Again, beyond pleased!
