After meeting with several contractors for a unique issue with our basement sump pump we chose American Eagle Foundation Repair. Their careful assessment of the situation led to a solution that was systematic and reasonable in cost.They appeared as concerned as I was about digging up the entire foundation.Although I am still waiting for a really heavy rainfall I am highly confident their repair has made the difference.I highly recommend Perry Watson and his caring employees!

Outstanding work! Never thought I'd love a crawlspace as much as I now do! It's super clean, wrapped tight, and definitely improved the floor and room temperature above the crawlspace. Work was quick and easy as the team are longtime experts. Highly recommend American Eagle.

American Eagle is a father and son business. I received great information about waterproofing and sump pumps in order to make a solid decision. Their prices were comparable to other businesses in the area, but the time they took to answer my questions and their solution to my problem was why I chose them. After jack hammering, filling the trench with stone and replacing the cement floor, my basement was cleaner then when they started. Their service, attention to detail and interactions with me were polite, thorough and informative. I would hire them again and will recommend them to friends and family who need any type of waterproofing.

Perry and his team did a fantastic job with the mold remediation, encapsulation and dehumidifier installation in the crawl space of our newly purchased home. It was a very big job as the house was left vacant for a long period of time. It was a pleasure to work with Perry and his team. Honest, timely, hard working and getting the job done right.

We’ve worked with American Eagle Professional Services for several years now. We were so happy with their foundation work a couple years ago we just had them back to completely waterproof our basement. Their work is fantastic, they are so clean and meticulous. From working with Perry on figuring out what our home needed to Chris and Josh getting the work done so well and being so friendly, it was a great experience. Responsive, professional, and kind. We could not recommend them more highly.

We had the unfortunate luck of buying a home where a bowed foundation wall was hiding behind finished basement walls. We had three different companies come out to give suggestions and quotes on the repair before eventually deciding on American Eagle.They weren't pushy or trying to sell us on a specific product, but were rather more informative and flexible in their solution. Additionally, and perhaps as a result of this, they were also reasonably priced (foundation repairs are not a cheap endeavor regardless)What we ended up having done:4 wall plates + 2 carbon fiber strapsNew sump pit + pump + drainage lineNew french drainThey communicate well and frequently about what needs to get done, when they will be on site, and what we needed to do as the homeowner. They work with you if you have specific needs. And their work is clean, professional, and sturdy.Would definitely recommend these guys for your project!

American Eagle performed a mold remediation all along the joists and full crawlspace encapsulation for me. They used high mil plastic for the flooring and foam board to insulate up the walls. They also installed a dehumidifier and went out of their way to make sure a poorly installed condensate drain from my hvac was draining properly (not their work but made sure to patch to ensure a better result for the crawlspace). The technicians were very thorough at every step along the way. From the initial estimate to the final walk through, the communication was excellent and they even adjusted the estimate down slightly when realizing the initial square footage was slightly higher than when they did the actual install. Really a top notch job and company all the way around.

While getting my parent's home ready for sale our real-estate agent pointed out some water intrusion in the basement. We hadn't noticed it before due to a large freezer covering much of the wall. Our real-estate agent immediately suggested getting American Eagle out to inspect and price out remediation costs.I contacted American Eagle and they came out immediately and inspected the site. They provided a very reasonable proposal that included digging into the floor and installing drainage material and gravel and connected drain into a nearby sump pit. They cemented over the drainage they installed and applied water proofing to the wall. They completed this work in less than two days and came out a day or two after signing the contract.I think they did a fantastic job and I am confident this will help the house to sell. I also thought their pricing was reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others or use them in the future.Paul

American Eagle removed mold and deteriorating fiberglass insulation from my crawl space, and conditioned the space with new insulation, plastic sheeting and a new, industrial-grade dehumidifier. Furnished estimate promptly, along with detailed explanatory information. Commenced work in a reasonable time and as promised. Kept me informed of issues and suggested solutions as they arose. Showed up as promised each day and put in full days. Completed work looks great.

After years of dread in going down to the basement, following a heavy rain to vacuum the water that breached the foundation, I am pleased to say that American Eagle's French Drain system, Safe Edge and new sump pump has resolved this issue. The Waterproofing system installed, has worked to direct ground water to the sump pump basin for easy removal via the new quiet sump pump. The whole process took only one week and now I can design a usable dry living space.Hats off to the crew who worked to help resolve this problem to make my basement dry and safe from potential issues involving 'water in the basement'.I highly recommend this company for your Waterproofing needs.

We were very happy with the service we got from Perry and American Eagle from start to finish. Perry responded quickly to all our questions and took time to explain everything that they were doing.The work crew were great. They were respectful of our home, kept everything clean and tidy at the end of each day and fully communicated what was going to happen due process.American Eagle got the job done quickly and were true professionals throughout the entire process. We highly recommend them.

I am very pleased with American Eagle's waterproofing and sump pump installation in my basement. The cost of the work was very reasonable in comparison with other companies. Perry answered all my questions and kept me in the loop for the repair timeline. Parking and concrete pouring had to be done in tight spaces, but Perry and his men made all the necessary adjustments and took every safeguard to protect my property. The work and cleanup were done in a thorough and professional manner.

Professional and courteous service. Perry recommended a reasonable and affordable course of action to reinforce my bowing foundation wall using kevlar straps and did an outstanding job. He and Ryan arrived on time, worked efficiently and left the work area clean. I'm very pleased with the results.

Justin M.

1713616606

American Eagle did a great job using carbon fiber to structurally reinforce a basement for me to prevent further damage from happening. Perry and his partner who did the work were professional and knowledgeable about the structural integrity issue we were having. If I run into anybody else with foundation issues I will defiantly refer them.

Steve S.

I did a search for waterproofing on Google & left messages for 3 companies to give me an estimate for some waterproofing. Only 2 called back, but Perry Watson from American Eagle followed up promptly and gave me a quote the next day. We discussed several options and I had a proposal within a few days. We arranged a date and as promised Perry and his crew came out and finished my waterproofing job in 2 days. The work was done very neatly, looks great and was done as promised. I would strongly recommend Perry Watson and American Eagle for any waterproofing needs.

James M.

American Eagle was very professional and prompt. Their assessment of my situation addressed my issue and the recommendations alleviated the problem. My communications with Mr. Watson was outstanding. I highly recommend American Eagle Professional Services.

They were able to complete the work waterproofing a basement by adding a French drain and additional sump quickly in my very short time frame. They did a wonderful job and cleaned up afterwards. I was very appreciative of the fact that they were able to complete this job ahead of schedule saving me a huge headache. Would definitely use them again for any waterproofing issues, highly recommend!

American Eagle Professional Services performed a crawl space encapsulation, which included mold remediation and installation of a dehumidifier. We are very satisfied and the crawl space is so much nicer that we are now using it for storage. Perry and Ryan were very accommodating and professional, used quality materials, and did an excellent job. Highly recommended.

Perry and his Team at American Eagle were fantastic to work with. They started our project within a week of signing our contract and were onsite every day to get the job done. They found other issues under the house that they made recommendations for and asked their electrician to correct (who were also great to work with). They were on time, polite, reasonably priced, and very thorough. In addition, Perry was thoughtful of our family and let us know if there were times we should be out of the house for noise, odors, etc. Highly recommend Perry and American Eagle for basement/crawl space/foundation needs!

Perry and Ryan did an excellent job completing an insulation and encapsulation project in the crawl space of our home. They always conducted this work in a professional manner and when some additional duct work was needed they contacted a reliable hvac person and made sure this work was done well. High marks for a job well done.

Perry and his team are very professional.It is obvious that they take great pride in the work they do.I was given a clear outline of what work must be done along with a list of what work should be done and if I had questions, they explained patiently and with detail if I needed it.They were punctual and cleaned up the work space efficiently when completed each day.I highly recommend American Eagle Professional Services.

Highly recommend America Eagle. Perry and his team tacked a large project on the Eastern Shore on my 100 year old home with knowledge, experience and skill. They worked seemlessly with the general contractor to find a solution, both inside and out, to waterproof an existing basement during a major renovation. Perry also spent a lot time with me, helping me understand the best options, and cost. Just an amazing company. I've done this before, on another home and had a very differnt experience. Perry is the best!

Perry and his team were responsive, professional, and did a great job! We were worried about old water damage and mold in our basement and crawl space. They made time to come out and look at the problem areas, assess the issue, and recommend a solution. The quote was provided in a very timely manner and they communicated well with us regarding when they could come do the work. They left the area clean and in good condition and we fully trusted them in our house! Perry even called to follow up on how we thought everything went and if we were happy with the work. So far everything looks and smells great and we were very thankful for their help and expertise!

The work which American Eagle performed involved a several sub-contractors as well as their own employees. Their employees did a very professional job and Perry did a wonderful job of coordinating the work. Everything was handled smoothly with very little disruption and the final result was excellent.

I highly recommend Perry and his team! 2 years ago there was water and mold in our home's crawl space. American Eagle removed the water, cleaned all of the mold and mildew, installed a dehumidifier, a sump pump and encapsulated the crawl space. What a difference in the air quality in our home! We have been breathing fresh, clean air ever since! Today we did our follow up service call with American Eagle, and everything is looking great! Clean and dry! Air quality fresh and sweet!

American Eagle certainly exceeded my expectations of working with a contractor. We had kitchen floor damage from a leaking dishwasher and Perry Watson handled our situation very professionally. Not only was Perry capable and competent, he knew the ins and outs of the insurance processes that really saved us hassles and money. Perry is also a very honest person to deal with, and someone who delivers what he says he will. I totally recommend AE for anyone needing this type of services.

Perry's professionalism is exceptional. I contacted him and was quick to come out to appraise the situation. I needed some work done in my crawls space to stabilize the house. He provided me with a quote and an estimated timeframe in which the job would be started.On the day of the actual job, he showed up on time (which is extremely important to me). He went over my concerns to ensure that he was on point. He then brought his son, Ryan, in so that he would be aware of my concerns, as he was leading the actual work being done. Once they started Perry and his son coordinated the exact location of where the work was needed.At the completion of the job his son, Ryan, came into my home to verify that everything was stable and that it met my expectations. The crew cleaned up everything, they even swept my driveway. They found a useful place to put the soil that they had removed from the crawl space by adding to a patch in my yard and putting down grass seed.Perry and company are trustworthy, incredibly responsive, and truly take pride in their work. I highly recommend American eagle Professional Services!

In hiring American Eagle Professional Services for my seemingly impossible mold-remediation job, I had an inkling that I was in for a treat. The team gutted my entire basement, treated my studs and framing, and installed two sump pumps along with cutting-edge drain tile along the entire perimeter of my basement. Heck, they even discovered and repaired several cracks in my foundation wall. Not only were they professional, clean, relentless in compartmentalizing their work so that my family could plan our move around the various phases of the job, you could tell how much they (a family business mind you) really took pride in their work. I would hire them again, and I strongly recommend American Eagle for your serious mold remediation problems! It's scary, I empathize, but these guys LOVE the scary jobs so that we can have peace of mind.

Perry and his crew were prompt in coming out to diagnose my basement leak. The new drains were installed in a timely manner as was a new sump well and pump. Clean up was complete. During the more recent rains, the sump pump got clogged. Perry knew the problem, and within a day, Ryan was out. Sump pump was operational. They are a fantastic company.

We used Perry and his team at American Eagle Prof Services after shopping around extensively for a mold remediation company. After weeks of estimates and re-estimates based on scaling back the cleaning needs, Perry worked with us and was the most flexible in terms of scheduling after we arrived at what we felt was a fair cost for the remediation effort which is never cheap.He also managed and subcontracted the cleaning of the HVAC system which was a huge savings of our time not having to deal with yet another contractor.He and his team were efficient, always on time, and considerate of my parents still living in the home. Considering this was a basement job in my 80yr old parents house in Centreville, MD, minimizing disruption to their lives was a high priority and Perry kept this in mind at all times.All in all we were VERY happy with the end results which culminated in an 'all clear' mold test signoff by an independent Industrial team who validated the mold cleaning was performed as needed.I would not hesitate recommending Perry to anybody challenged with a mold issue as he knew his stuff regarding mold remediation and proved it with his successful cleanup of my parents house in Centreville, MD.

We had a great experience working with American Eagle. Perry and his team were proactive and took the time to explain what everything meant. We had a very complicated job that got broken into two smaller jobs when closing the house purchase got delayed. Perry was flexible and professional throughout the whole process. We are planning to have them come back to add an additional sump pump in the basement when we start the basement remodel.

American Eagle stabilized the kitchen floor in my 80 year old beach cottage.The floor was shaky and sagging. after they completed the work, it no longer is shaky and was lifted. There were no cracks in the walls, as I am aware, if not done properly or over done you can have cracks. I am very happy with both the work done and the people doing the job. I highly recommend them ! Barbara Daniels

We had a difficult job. We had a wet basement and American Eagle dug around the inside perimeter of the house down to the footers. We found out we had two slabs which was very individual. We are on the water and by the time they dug all the way down there was a lot of water and I thought there was always going to be water. But their system worked great using a superior product. We have a dry basement and we were not charged more for the extra work. Would totally recommend them!

Perry and co. were great to work with did exceptional work. My wife and I needed some mold remediation and related work in our crawl space. We received a written quote for the work and Perry met with us to go over the details of the work.In the course of the work we needed to replace a sump pump and do some regrading work which they were able to do at the same time on. They also completed some other needed minor repairs and work which they saw in the course of the job.Perry was always very communicative and upfront with quotes and time estimates. The material used, vapor barrier in our case, were top-notch and he allowed us to inspect the material before use and view the work before acceptance.Class organization and top-notch work.Highly recommend!

1565493019

Perry and Ryan were absolute top notch. We had them come to our Severna Park home for a mold issue and potential waterproofing. Their assessment was thorough, knowledgeable, and they provided a plan to fix the issue. Communication was quick, consistent, and professional. They scheduled us within a short period of time and came exactly when they said they would. They did a French drain style waterproofing system going directly into our existing sump pump. They also did the demo and mold remediation. They kept the site clean and only impacted what was being worked on. We were unable to be home the entire time during the time they were doing work so we left them alone in our home, that’s how much we trusted them. I highly recommend!

David B.

1559597130

Mold was discovered in our basement, and after several estimates of thousands of dollars each to "fix" the problem, I called Perry at American Eagle and he came out within 3 hours of my initial phone call to inspect the area. He took the time to walk me through exactly what the problem was and came up with a very reasonable price. I'm incredibly pleased with the finished product and quality of the work, but most importantly how honest Perry was about the problem in the first place. He's honest and really knows his stuff and got a customer for life because of it. Highly recommend.

After comparing quotes from a few mold remediation companies, we decided to go with American Eagle. And we are glad we did! It was a daunting job given the size of our large unfinished basement, but Perry and his team tackled it with a methodical approach, hard work, and most importantly, a positive attitude. They were great to work with, and clearly explained things at each step of the remediation process. We had full trust that they were going to leave our home a safer place to live, and that is just what they did. We are happy to have our basement back! Huge thanks Perry, Ryan, and Ted!

Perry and his crew did an excellent job on fixing both water and mold problems for one of the estate houses for our practice.
