"Share review Embed review Write an update Edit review 12/1/2020 I am very pleased with the service I received today from Electrical Technician Bogdan Ovsyychuk and his assistant. He replaced overhead lighting in my kitchen at a very reasonable cost and I am very happy with the result. They both were also very friendly and personable and wore masks and all other necessary protective equipment. I highly recommend them for electrical work!"
Our team at Bonney helped restore flow at this Sacramento home by performing a sewer spot repair on the main line for our customer.  This involved locating the problem area, digging the trench, snaking the line to clear the drain, repairing a section of the sewer pipe, and then backfilling the space to restore back to the original landscape.

"Extensive work beneath subfloor required. Peter and Oleg were very responsive and accommodating to our schedule. They worked later than normal to complete the job in one visit. Could not have asked for better service or more friendly, courteous, professionals."

"I had previously used this plumbing company to install new faucets after I had tried to repair on my own. The owner, Mike, came after I found it impossible to complete the job. He worked (in a very cramped space) with difficulty and got the job done. I was so pleased by the service, I called upon him again as we gave the master bathroom a makeover and new faucets were in the plan. We provided the faucets and Mike once again crawled into the small cramped spaces and got the job done. I would normally give the company my highest marks all around, but the item that needs remarking about was the phone communication aspect of the service. Mike was forced to leave after one faucet was completed to address another waiting job (The first faucet was more difficult to remove than anticipated and took much additional time). He said he would return later that night. I felt it unnecessary for him to work at night and agreed for his return the next day. He never showed up and neither he or his office did not call. I called the office and received no call back (his wife takes his office calls). It wasn't until the evening that I heard back and was told that he would be there the next day. He did arrive and I was told of a particularly difficult job that kept him from returning the next day. He has a cell phone. I felt a call back would have gone a long way toward a more satisfactory communication.
As to his work, he is an experienced plumber with a high level of attention to the task at hand. Upon completion, he left us with a high level of satisfaction. On his way out I inquired about some leakage coming from the downstairs toilet that had just begun. He quickly identified the problem. We made a new appointment. He arrived on time and got the job of installing a new seal quickly. Again we were satisfied with his work. On this job, phone issues were not present. I would hire him again without question.

"They were okay. I had an upstairs bathtub and it was leaking a lot and they fixed it. They put a steel mesh around the tub so that the rodents couldn't get to it. He went above and beyond. I am satisfied with his work. He is very communicative, explains things, tells you what he did and what he found."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.

Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you install insulation or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses. 

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

If foundation problems are not fixed, they will likely worsen over time, leading to more complex and expensive repairs. Neglecting a damaged foundation can cause a range of issues, including:

  • Structural Damage: Minor problems like small cracks can escalate into major structural issues. This can damage the house above the foundation and, in severe cases, lead to foundation walls caving in or a total collapse.

  • Water Damage and Pests: Moisture and water intrusion can cause flooding, mold growth, and pest infestations.

  • Health and Safety Risks: Mold can lead to poor indoor air quality and other health risks, while structural instability poses a significant safety hazard.

  • Reduced Home Efficiency: A compromised foundation can negatively impact your home's energy efficiency.

To avoid these escalating problems and costs, it's best to hire a foundation repair company to address any issues as soon as you become aware of them. The earlier problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the repair cost will likely be.
