"Marco and Joe were AMAZING to work with. We thought we just needed our kitchen sink snaked-turned out the drain had collapsed/ broke under the foundation of our home. Joe helped walk us through the process and prices and Marco was the main man doing the job. They finished the entire project in one day and cleaned up the mess so well. Very trust worthy people and they will be our go to plumbers moving forward!"
"Mike Williams is a wonderful installer, highly recommend him to anyone. When working with Bordner ask for Mike to be your installer you wonâ t regret it!"
"Had them replace a drain pipe in my foundation. They were timely and efficient. Price was very good as I have been through this nightmare before. Really appreciated Keith and Nico! When Keith arrived, I instantly knew I had the right guy advising me on this. Nico did a great job doing the job. Thank you both."
"These guys came very unpreparedly... they did not bring their own ladders or flashlights. I had to provide them for them. They also cut 3 different holes in my ceiling before deciding to go through the foundation, they then charged me extra for them having to cut so much.... but it did not reflect on the receipt...when they were done they did a horrible job patching and left the plaster a massive mess. Would only recommend if you are selling per the buyer request to put in and you do not care how it looks."
"Mr. Howell was punctual on the first visit to give an estimate for the job. He explained the charges clearly. An appointment was made for installation with the lady at the office for a much later date as the replacement faucet was not yet available. This appointment was rescheduled for an earlier time when the faucet arrived sooner than expected but Mr Howell did not show up for that appointment. Some internal miscommunication. Another appointment was made for the following week. He showed up on time for this one and installed the faucet in good time. The faucet being replaced had failed almost completely by then. The office staff is fantastic and very helpful. It was she that got my business since Mr Howell’s charges seemed a little high. The advice and assistance she gave me was worth the higher charges. However, I am not an expert on such things. The charges were explained up front. No fee was charged for the visit to give an estimate along with advice/confirmation of the type of faucet I would need."
"They installed gutters on our horse barn. They were mindful of the horses' safety as we brainstormed ideas for the downspout that led into the horse paddock. Super easy to work with from the estimate to the install. Everyone I encountered was very kind and professional. Their pricing was also very competitive. Finally,"
"Ayden and Josh came to fix some drains in our bathroom sink and shower and they were fast and on time, got right to work and we're just so great and pleasant to work with!! We're very happy with our service and I'd like to post on Google too but I have an HVAC review up that was five stars too :) haha too many five star reviews to give I guess!"
"Fort August Foundation Repair was professional, honest, and easy to work with. They explained the issue clearly, finished the job on time, and the quality of work was excellent. Our home feels secure again, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
No, homeowners insurance policies do not typically cover sump pump installation. However, some companies may offer incentives in the form of discounts or reduced premiums if homeowners install sump pumps. Insurance companies do this because sump pumps can reduce water damage claims. You may also be able to obtain enhanced water-backup coverage after installing a sump pump.
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.
Sump pumps remove excess water from the lowest point of your home, which prevents flooding. When a sump pit fills with water, a sump pump pushes that water outside of the basin and into an exterior discharge pipe. From there, the water flows away from your home, so it doesn’t damage your foundation.
Test regularly, clean the pump, and inspect the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.
Statistics show that 98% of basements will experience some form of water damage over time. However, that doesn’t mean all basements will experience severe flooding. The best way to prevent a water-damaged basement is to keep up with home maintenance and have proper drainage installed outside your home to direct water away from the foundation. You can also consider building a flood wall around the house if you live in a flood-prone area.
