"David â Macâ McDaniel was my certified field inspector and from the first conversation over the phone to the moment he left my home after conducting an inspection he was polite, professional and easy to understand and talk to. He was eager to answer all of my questions and to make sure I was satisfied with the information he provided for the work that needs to be done on my home. Mac is very much the kind of person that treats you (and your pets) like family. The company also provides a plethora of information and resolutions to any of your foundation needs. I highly recommend this company and Mac! Thank you, Mac! Foundation Recovery will be installing beams and jacks for better support under my home."
"Andrew Violette and his crew started our project when it was raining very hard and cold. They continued working even with six inches of water under our home. MY wife and I was more worried about them than our home. Finally they decided to stop and start early the next morning. They did arrive on time that they had told us. Andrew and his crew kept us laughing all the time even under our home while doing their job. To make a long story short, Andrew and his crew did an excellent job under our home. We would recommend Vista Foundations to anyone. Especially if they get Andrew and crew. They'll be very satisfied. Thanks Vista Foundations and Andrew and his crew. It seemed as if they worked on our home as If it was their own home. Great job!!!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.
A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.
Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:
Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor
Mold spots in your basement
Musty smells or odors
Warped doors or walls
Cracks in walls
Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites
A sump pump will drain a flooded basement if it has a horsepower strong enough to remove the water faster than it is entering the room. If you have the wrong type or size of sump pump installed–or if your sump pump has failed–you may need to take additional steps to stop the flow of water or remove it manually.
Your sump pump will discharge water through a discharge line or pipe. The discharge line should be placed at least 10–20 feet from the foundation to avoid any issues.
