Mid Atlantic was one of four estimates we got to repair our leaky basement and two reps were at our house for 2.5 hours. During their inspection they pointed out all kinds of issues with our footer, foundation walls and floor. They told us that the next step was foundation and footer failure. The only way to avoid structural failure was to use their system which two hours into their inspection was not yet revealed. After pushing them to tell us their sollution it turns out that they use the same basic water diversion drain and sump pump as every other company out there but literally charge three to four times as much. It nearly took a verbal argument to get through to them that we were not prepaired to make a commitment on the spot. If we didn't commit we couldn't get their discounted price. We asked for literature and a written estimate before they left so we could make an informed decision between the four contractors. They could not provide us with anything! I had to write down their offer. It was as if nobody had ever said ""no"" to them. I feel sorry for those people. We are going with a smaller, local contractor with a good track record. We are getting basically the same system for a quarter of the price. The Mid Atlantic inspection is stressful, pushy and long; don't bother.
