"What can I say about American Dry Basement Systems? A few years ago, our area experienced an extraordinary amount of rainfall. My backyard looked like a pond, and water was rising all the way to the back of my house. At the time, there was already some water in the basement, but I believed I had a solid plan in place to manage it—completely unaware of the damage that was about to unfold. The next day, I went downstairs to check the situation and was devastated to find nearly four feet of water filling my basement. Storage totes were floating, along with irreplaceable family artifacts that meant the world to me—pieces of history from loved ones who are no longer here. I immediately tried contacting the fire department, but I wasn’t alone in this situation; many others were dealing with flooding as well. With no other option, I had to purchase another water pump. After a grueling 10-hour ordeal, the water was finally removed. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. I lost cherishe"

We understand that construction is more than simply following drawings and making sure a structure is up to code. It's about making your vision come to life. This means that details are as important as the end result, the way joints are placed together, the careful installation of materials to showcase their beauty, the final brush stroke that finishes a project. From concept to completion, we take the time to make sure each milestone is met with the highest level of craftsmanship and professionalism. We stand behind our work, warranty every job, and make sure our clients are involved every step of the way.

"I had my roof replaced by Julia and her team at Henry’s Roofing & Siding, and I'm thrilled with the results. Julia's quick responses and competitive quote gave me confidence and they did a fantastic job replacing the roof, and their attention to detail was spot-on. Clean-up was thorough. I highly recommend Henry’s Roofing & Siding. Their affordability, top-notch work, and excellent communication make them a great choice. I'm delighted with their work and grateful for their service"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Overall, yes. Crushed stone of any type is pretty effective for drainage. Compared to crushed gravel, though, pea gravel can be more prone to clumping over time, so it might not be the absolute best option. It’s sometimes used in underground drainage projects, though, so it’ll work well enough for most home improvement projects. 

The soil around your foundation should slope down and away from your home, not toward it. If the grading drops the farther you are from your home, you can enhance the slope by removing more soil. Mark off a few feet from your house and dig up some of this soil. Regrading around your fountain should encourage water to flow away from your home and not collect or “pond.”

You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.

Watering your foundation can make a small impact on the soil's stability during a drought, but its effects are still debated. You should only water a foundation if there are no restrictions on the water in your area at the time, if you are trying to maintain consistent moisture in minimally affected soil, or if you're watering the plants that surround your home. Proper landscaping and maintaining well-draining soil are your best bets against foundation issues from a drought.

Yes, in most cases, a French drain is safe to put around your foundation, provided your landscape allows for it. If you don’t have the proper space surrounding your foundation or there are rocks that would make excavation difficult, a French drain may not be right for your home. Ask a foundation drain specialist what type of drain they recommend for your foundation.
