"Eric and his team did a great job installing an incredible waterproofing system in an investment property I bought. The house was originally built in 1978 and had cinder blocks where moisture had been slowly accumulating for years. They came and installed their waterproofing system and a pump to pump out any ensuing water from rains and the system works amazingly. No more moisture and no more musty odors. They were very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Their estimate was one of the best as well."

"

I'm extremely pleased with all facets of this installation.  Mike handled the initial survey and quote and arrived promptly on schedule.  We discovered that the foundation drain had failed and allowed water to remain trapped along that wall, which caused the problem to recur during persistent heavy rain.  We discussed several options I had considered, and he explained the Aqua-Guard system, the complete installation process, thoroughly answered all of my questions, and left me with a written estimate, along with additional material to review at my leisure.  His approach made more sense than the competition, was very competitive price-wise, and included a warranty that was far superior to the competition, so I chose Aqua-Guard and we set an installation date several weeks into the future.

The office called in advance to confirm the installation date.  Brandon and his crew showed up exactly on schedule to begin the installation.  Brandon again explained the system and answered all questions, then the crew began work.  The crew was quick, efficient, and the workmanship was outstanding.  They initially estimated that the job would take a complete day, but they were able to complete their work in approximately 6 hours.  Later that afternoon, Brandon arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and performed a final inspection and handled any final questions before receiving payment. 

I could not have imagined a more positive experience.  Aqua-Guard precisely met every scheduled appointment, the quality of their work was outstanding, they were courteous and professional in their behavior, and the cost was below the average of the firms I consulted and precisely in line with the initial estimate..  They completed the job ahead of schedule and left the work area cleaner than they found it.  I can't think of a single thing they could have done to make the experience any better.  Aqua-Guard has my highest recommendation!

French Drains questions, answered by experts

If you want to avoid using a snake to unclog a drain, or if you don’t have one, try vinegar and baking soda. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of white vinegar. Wait for 15 minutes, and then run hot water (but not boiling water) down the drain to see if the clog is clear. Repeat multiple times as needed.

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

The P-trap (or S-trap in older homes) under your shower is designed to prevent sewer gas from coming back up, so you shouldn’t normally experience foul odors coming from your shower drain. If you do, the vent stack that introduces air into your plumbing system may be clogged, or you may have a more severe sewer main blockage. In either case, hire a plumber to fix the issue for you.

Yes, sewage smells can originate from a floor drain. If the P-Trap in the floor drain dries out or if there's a clog or other issue in the plumbing system, sewer gasses can escape through the drain, causing nasty odors. Regularly pouring water into the drain helps maintain the water seal and prevent those smells, but if the smell persists, you should have a plumbing professional inspect the drain for potential problems.

A washing machine should drain the water used during its cycle through a drainpipe and out through the house’s plumbing. This is the same plumbing that sinks and shower drains run to, and if the U-bend is installed correctly, it shouldn’t smell. The total drainage from the house is then integrated into the city sewer system or, if you’re in the country, dispersed into a septic tank.
