JBC did an excellent job replacing our west basement wall to our specifications.

When it rained a lot, the water would flow through the wall like a waterfall, because the grade from the west is higher than on the east side of our lot.

JBC deserves this 5 star review, Ryan and his crew are very professional. From the time I requested an estimate to the completion of the job anytime we had questions all we had to do is contact JBC and they were prompt. We were having a leak in our foundation whenever it rained, Ryan came to our home to witness the leak the same day we contacted him for an estimate. Within a few days we had the estimate, within 2 wks the work began and everything was complete within a month of our original contact. Thank You JBC/Ryan & crew, we definitely recommend them.
Ryan at JBC was quick to respond to my initial call and had someone over at my house the day I called to check out what was going on. They were super helpful throughout, answering any questions I had from beginning to the end of the project. They were professional and worked quickly as well. I am very pleased with the job they did. I would recommend their services to anyone having water problems.
