Facts about Wilkinsburg, PA

Wilkinsburg is a historic borough located just east of Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Known for its rich architectural history and close-knit community, Wilkinsburg features many older homes that require ongoing maintenance to remain structurally sound.

The area’s clay-heavy soils and aging foundations can contribute to water retention and increased hydrostatic pressure around basement walls. Combined with the region’s humid continental climate, including wet springs and snowy winters, these factors make basement waterproofing a critical investment for homeowners.

I want to thank Bob for coming out to reattach a pipe to my sump pump as soon as possible. He did a fantastic job. I’m sure it will stay bonded. Bob does an excellent job every time. Thanks Bob.

As new homeowners we were not expecting to need to address water in our basement so soon into owning our home. Jim and his team at Ark Basement Services came recommended and after doing a walk through, and getting a thorough explanation of the work to be done, we booked an internal French drain service. The team was prompt, thorough, communicative, and efficient during the work period. We have had several rainstorms since the drain was installed with no water coming into our basement, which has brought us great relief. Would highly recommend Ark Basement Services for all of your needs !

We requested an estimate for a problem in our basement. Jim came to our room very promptly and was extremely professional in his presentation. We were going away and requested that the work be done before we left, or after we returned. Jim got us on the schedule within a week. On the appointed day, Jim arrived early with a crew of 3 workers. David, David and Cory. They started immediately and were very neat. Plastic put up to protect the room from dust. The work was performed in one day. Extremely satisfied. Would use them again.

We called ARK Basement Services when we noticed foundation cracking after the long, cold winter we just had. Joe Rosa was very knowledgeable and gave us an affordable estimate to install carbon fiber straps in our basement area. The installer, Bob, was such a hard working individual and completed the job in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend ARK to take care of your basement problems.

ARK Basement Services is more than a basement services company - they are a company that puts compassion and service at the front of everything they do. A basement issue, be it water intrusion, foundation instability, bowing walls, or any issue in their area of vast expertise, is a personal mission to correct the problem and improve their clients' lives. Jim Perry and his crew are consummate professionals whose acumen in resolving any issue is beyond reproach, and their commitment to conducting their business with the utmost integrity is admirable. In a time of diminishing values and service, ARK Basement Services is a trusted partner and the only company I would unreservedly endorse for any basement solution.

Joe Rosa returned my call promptly, arrived right on time for appointment. He explained everything thoroughly and answered all our questions. He came with the team performing the work on the first day and made sure they understood the work to be done. The team worked efficiently, kept the noise and dust down as much as possible. The team members were very polite and friendly. They answered questions I had when they were working.

We had a significant water leak in our basement that led to waterproofing and mold concerns, and ARK Basement Services took care of everything from start to finish with professionalism and care. They made a stressful situation much easier to handle and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Everyone working in our home introduced themselves and was respectful, efficient, and thorough. A special thank you to Matt, Spencer, and Sam for the excellent work and for taking such great care of our basement. We truly appreciate the service and would highly recommend ARK Basement Services to anyone needing basement waterproofing or mold remediation!

ARK Basement Services have earned my trust and confidence in their services. ARK completed my job yesterday, and I am impressed. First of all, I was very pleased with my estimate, as it was the most fair that I received. Jim, the owner, met with me and explained exactly how he could solve my foundation issues. Jim oversaw the entire process, and I appreciated that. Matt and Spencer proved to be absolutely up to the job. They arrived on time and they worked nonstop until my job was completed. They respected my home and delivered a First class waterproofing job. I am a very happy person, and I know that I made the right decision when I chose ARK.
