The reputation of a company is extremely important.
Consumers will choose a product or a service over another because of its positive image. When looking to hire a company to do home repairs every homeowner should do some research about who they are hiring to do the work on their home.
For most people our home is the biggest investment of our lifetime. Our home is our pride and joy, our home provides us security, a place for a family to grow and create memories. People should not blindly trust someone to provide repairs to that special place. It is extremely important to do some research about the company you are hiring and to understand the services that they provide.
Building a positive business reputation must be earned. This is earned by providing excellent service, being honest, informative, respectful and professional; and most importantly helping your clients solve their issue. It takes consistent results, time and a lot of hard work to create a great reputation.
In a world full of misinformation and disinformation we must be careful where and how we get this information. And we must feel free to question things so we can use the information we have collected to make the best choice for our needs.
The internet is a great source of information however it can be overwhelming and difficult to sort out. When considering a contractor to do work at your home always ask around in your community.
Ask real people living in your community who have used the same service or if they know of someone who has used that service or if they have any recommendations and ask why. Go to your local hardware store (or construction supply) and asking at the contractor’s desk if they have any opinions or information about a service or a service provider that you are considering using. And get a variety of these opinions so you can make a well-informed decision with “real life reviews”.
Word of mouth for a reputable business is the best source of advertising.
Sudbury is a small city where ‘everyone knows everyone’ or ‘they know someone’ and this can help you discover the “real life reviews” from people who live in your community and from people who used similar services in your community.
In a world full of fake likes, manufacturer reviews and misinformation; research is a must. Education is the best way to protect yourself and your investment from unscrupulous predators that do not have your best interest at heart. Do not fall prey to pressured sales and fear marketing. Ask other professionals for their recommendations and understand why you are hiring someone and why they are providing the repair that they are suggesting. Knowledge is power.
Benji Dittrich Construction provides wet basement solutions and there is no single repair that is right for all issues; there is no “one size fits all solution” for wet basements or damaged foundations.
Each building is different and so the solution needs to be unique to that building. The repair should be designed specifically for the problem specific to the building. All buildings come with unique aspects for example the location of the building, the grading and fill around the building, the design of the building, how it was built, the age, and so on. All these characteristics matter when designing a plan to remedy a wet basement and foundation damage.
The solution should address the cause and not just the symptom. Focusing solely on the secondary problem you will not solve the primary problem. So, if you don’t deal with the primary (source/cause) problem and you solely focus on the secondary (symptom) problem the primary (source/cause) problem is not resolved and it will fester. If you truly want to deal with a problem, always tackle the source not just the symptom.
The foundation of your house is literally the base of your home. When a foundation problem occurs a variety of things have caused this to happen over time and poor drainage is a major factor.
If you are experiencing water infiltration or moisture in your basement and want an actual remedy, call Benji Dittrich Construction and they can come by and explain the remedy and what type of repair is right for you and your home.
Allowing a drainage issue to persist will allow erosion to continue and could lead to foundation damage and/or mold inside the home. They can provide you with an abundance of information so you can understand why there is problem, what is the cause, how to repair it and how to maintain it.
