"Calvin was super helpful in getting us exactly what we needed for our 1903 home. Full crawlspace encapsulation and a repair of a sagging section of the house that was overloaded with a floated concrete floor. He easily could have oversold us on expensive repairs that were unnecessary but he was honest and up front with our issues and reassured us that our foundation was in really good condition for the age of the house. The crew doing the work showed up when they said they would and left the place clean. Highly recommend these guys to get the job done right!"

"I moved into the house a year ago and had a new water heater put in. The people who had installed my water heater had not done a good job. The wiring inside the water heater was exposed, and had no caps on them. The pvc pressure drain piping was not glued and had three elbow joints in it before it went to the outside drain pipe. The water pressure blew the pipe off at one of the elbow joints. The pressure valve on the water heater itself was not working. (Not the installer's fault).  The water was everywhere. After turning off the hot water, I called Jason Kilgore at 6 PM Wednesday night and told him what happened. He said he would be there at 8 AM Thursday morning to look at it. He was. He squeezed me into his schedule in spite of being totally booked up for Thursday. He said he would be back at 6 PM to fix it. He told me all the things wrong with the water heater (mentioned above) and said he would buy a new pressure valve for the water heater. At 6 PM, Collin and Darrell came and fixed it. They rewired the water heater correctly, put in a new pressure valve and they ran an entirely new drain pipe out to the outside of the house, after determining that dirt daubers had plugged up the old pipe. They took 30 minutes to fix it.  These guys are great. They were VERY professional, explained everything, fixed it, and cleaned up afterward. And their price was reasonable. I will use them for all my repairs inside the house. I have a long list for this older house, and they will be doing all the work.  I recommend them to any one who needs something fixed.

"We hire them to remove and put in a new roof, and they were extremely prompt. We spoke with Chris, the owner of the company and working with him found the type of roof we wanted along with storm gutters, we set a date for his crew for the following week. They came in with their crew removed the old roof and installed the new one, the work was all done in two days, along with cleanup. We are extremely pleased with the professionals of this roofing company. We're planning in the near future to use them to put in possibly storm drain covers. We wanted to wait to write this review after the first rain. We had the work done back in February 2020."

"I knew we had found our plumber after talking to Mike on the phone....so personable and easy to talk to and a man who knows PLUMBING!!! I doubt you would have a problem he could not solve!! He made himself available right away on Jan. 1st and 2nd (no holiday fees) and solved our issues so I have time to sit and review him today. He works around the Atlanta area and does new installations as well as repairs that are located quite a distance from his home. His skilled helper, Kevin, and Mike worked very hard to quickly resolve our problems and we will not hesitate to call Mike the Plumber in the future!"

Foundation Drain Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Most people consider a French drain to be one of the most effective solutions for foundation leaks, but it’s not always a standalone solution. French drains will help keep water away from your foundation to reduce the risk of leaking and structural damage from soil expansion, but depending on your foundation type and location, you might need other systems or techniques—like soil gradation and gutter and leader installation—to resolve the underlying problem.

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.

Basement toilets don’t always need a pump. However, it is the most common setup because plumbing systems use gravity to move waste away from the home. Basement toilets often sit below the home’s main sewage system, and installing a sewage ejector pump pushes the wastewater and sewage up to the main sewer line. Alternatively, you can use an upflush or macerator toilet that breaks down the waste and pushes it straight to the main sewer line rather than via a sewer line from the bathroom.

Signs include persistent dampness, mold or mildew presence, musty odors, and visible water stains. If any of these occur, it is advisable to contact a professional for an inspection.
