10 days after your system was installed we had a heavy downpour and no water- basement is dry.
By Jeremy
I have provided your name to at least 3 other people since you have done work for us. These last 2 months of intense rain proved that your system works. No a drop in the basement!
By D.
The work was done on time, by a crew of hard-working, courteous, and efficient men--and on the hottest day of the summer! The ugly crawlspace now looks clean and safe. And best of all--the awful mildew smell is gone! I am so grateful!

We didn't look at other companies.  We saw what your system looked like at (our friend's) and they were so pleased, your warranty, BBB award, and your salesman was great!  The triple safe pump is so quiet, the system will correct the problems we had, we have peace of mind! 
Caleb B.
Auburn, NY
Very satisfied with the job done for us.  Everything was handled in a timely manner, the installation crew was very helpful and did a great job.  The company rep was very informative and easy to follow.  He helped us to understand what we needed.  After researching the system we felt that it was not only the best out there but also the solution to solve our problems.  We have given your information to a few of our friends who have similar issues that we had.

I was impressed with Mike Dorsino during his visit and what I was able to learn on your website. So much to the degree that I sought no other estimate. I was impressed with Wilcox Basement Systems every step of the process. This far, it appears that my concerns were addressed by the work and I am now enjoying peace of mind, which I had lost prior to the project.
John E.
Auburn, NY
We were completely satisfied with the job that was done.  The installation crew was friendly, professional, hard-working.  The office staff was great and the company representative's presentation was very thorough, educated us on aspects of the repair and our problem no other Company's rep had mentioned. We hired this company because of their rep's presentation and a friend's recommendation.  Excellent Job - Work was done when promised, as described and for estimated price (no "surprises").  Our responsibilities to provide access were explained and the crew even moved a couple of our heavy items the day of installation.
Joanne F.
Auburn, NY
When I called with questions I spoke to a person everytime.  No recorders.  Reviews were all good, & so was the warranty.  Thank you!  Crew was very polite & hard working.  Gave me a start & finish date & stuck to it.  Best of all no more puddles in the basement after heavy rains.
Bob B.
Moravia, NY
The main reason we hired your company was the high recommendation given by my brother.  He had a much worse water problem than we did.  He said in nearly 4 years he hasn't had a water problem (since the installation).  The crew is very polite and professional in their work.  They even put down cardboard to protect our new oak steps going into the basement.  Our hats are off to them for a job well done!
Robert
Weedsport, NY
We had a chance to see one of your installed systems and read the information on your company before we ever called you for an estimate- you are the only company we called.  10 days after Wilcox Basement Systems was installed- we had a heavy downpour.  Our basement stayed dry!
Roger
Weedsport, NY
We are extremely satisfied!  We couldn't have asked for a better job with the clean-up!  The company was able to begin work in 5 days.  After reading some of the other referrals we saw the company had some great references!  We would not hesitate to tell others to hire Wilcox Basement Systems!  The men who were here were fine examples of hard working men!  Very polite, kind, dedicated and men who took pride in their work!  All of them should be commended for a job well done!  They were trustworthy, professional and tried to clean extra for us!  Great job guys! 
Jim L.
Cortland, NY
Just a quick note to say "Thank You"!!  We had 3 inches of rain last night and the basement is absolutely dry.  It was a pleasure to be able to sleep through the night vs getting up every hour to change towels so the carpet did not get thoroughly soaked.  Wish we had done this years ago.  We are very happy....
Michael
Skaneateles, NY
We did not look at another company.  We were very impressed with Mike Dorsino's presentation.  Took it at face value and more than satisfied with the finished product.  I would recommend Wilcox Basement Systems wilthout any reservations!  Zak Wilcox and the crew worked steadily and answered any and all of my questions with intelligent understandable answers.
Stacy
Skaneateles, NY
Your product is well thought out; clearly superior.  Mike Dorsino gave us a great understanding of how the product works as well as lots of good ideas for keeping water away from the house.  Thank you- you guys at Wilcox Basement Systems are the hardest workers I've seen!
John
Skaneateles, NY
Our son and daughter in law were very pleased with Wilcox Basement systems- we didn't call anybody else!  We are 100% satisfied! 
Nancy
Marcellus, NY
Your company has a professional, reliable, and hard-working crew, your company rep was thorough, informative, and I especially liked the computer presentation.  Your company did a thorough inspection, sent reps resume and references, and provided warranties.  Obtaining your services helped me sell my house! Thank you.
Jim N.
Marcellus, NY
The system your company offers seemed better and less invasive.  You were confident you could fix our water problem & you did!  We felt we  were getting a better value with what you proposed to do vs. other companies.  We are very happy and satisfied.  It rained hard after you came and we have a DRY basement.  It is really wonderful.
John L.
Marcellus, NY
We hired Wilcox Basement Systems because we could trust our friends opinion and their experience with your company- knowledge, honesty, and integrity.  Thank you for a great job!  We are so very pleased!
Paula G.
Tully, NY
Very satisfied with job.  Installation crew was efficient, cleaned up, our dog liked them! The office staff was good. Company representative was professional, especially during a pandemic.  I reviewed several companies.  Wilcox Basement did not have any negative reviews.  I felt that the job would be done correctly the first time. Tropical Storm Isaises dropped a lot of rain today.  Basement remains dry.  This inspired me to hire help to begin cleaning out the basement. 
Russell T.
Camillus, NY
You had good reviews & I liked the system you were using instead of regular 4" black pipe.  So far so good, already had a rain & snow thaw this far and system seemed to work well
Michelle
Syracuse, NY
I was very impressed with the consultation and explanation on the process from Mike Dorsino.  Everyone answered all my questions.  It has been raining for the last 3 days and I can hear the water draining down the waterguard system and outside.  No water detected!  Very happy with the service. 
Tony
Syracuse, NY
Your solutions answered my problems.  Thank you for delivering what you spoke to me about in your presentation.  It impressed me your staff had information to help describe what you presented and what the products were.  I look forward to going through next spring without having to mop up my basement floor.  Then I can finish my basement to have room for the kids to play!  Keep up the good work!
James

Wilcox Basement Systems did an excellent job and the job they did looks great!  It is a huge improvement.  The crew was very knowledgeable and professional.  We will recommend Wilcox to everyone!
