"Unfortunately, drain would not work despite various methods employed by Hufts technician. Hufts was fair enough not to charge me for the visit. Guess its time for a new water heater."

"We're extremely happy with the concrete work by David Morris, it's just as we had envisioned.  It was definitely not an easy job for several reasons.  There is limited access to the back yard, so no large equipment could be used, requiring all excavation to be done by hand.  Making it even more labor intensive were huge tree roots from a 30-year-old tree we had removed recently.  Also, we've had drainage problems for some time due to clogged drains, most likely from tree roots.  David addressed the problem by grading the area and installing a new system of drains.
David is very honest, personable, and a true professional.  We had scheduled the job well in advance and were delighted when he was able to start a few days ahead of schedule.  David kept us informed of their schedule and the crew arrived on time each day.  The job was more difficult and took longer than expected due to problems that could not be anticipated until excavation had begun.  However, David did not complain and honored his original proposal.  His crew was polite, respectful, and worked diligently for nearly 4 days in extremely hot weather.  Thank you David and your crew for our beautiful new patio and walk, an A+ job!!

"Michael Ridgeway was wonderful to work with because he listened to how I wanted the gate to be finished so it would be structurally strong. I would hire him again without any question. Michaels helper that worked along with him worked very hard. I really appreciate their work ethics. Thank you so much Michael and Tommy! Sherie"

"We had a new drain pipe with a new wood sidewalk & decking over the drain installed. The workers were excellent. Very hard workers. There was a lot of digging for the new drain pipe & wood to be torn out & replaced. We were impressed with the quality of workmanship. The work was completed in a timely manner. Also, the clean up was amazing. We highly recommend this company. The owner & all the employees were polite & answered any questions that we had during the process."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Methods include interior sealants, exterior excavation and waterproofing membranes, sump pump installation, and vapor barriers for encapsulation. Techniques vary based on the structure and severity of moisture issues.

There are a couple of similar alternatives you may consider for a sewage ejector pump, including a grinder pump or a submersible sump pump. Submersible sump pumps protect your home from flooding from outside water, though, rather than handling wastewater from inside. A grinder pump macerates, or shreds, solid waste before pumping it onward to the sewer line.

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.

Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.

By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.

For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.

Waterproofing or encapsulating protects against moisture, preventing mold growth and structural damage. These services also enhance energy efficiency and improve air quality by keeping humidity levels in check.
