"I hired JES to install a trench and sump system into the basement of a new house I purchased. After the job was completed, I noticed the cellar stairwell was pooling water. They returned and said that they didn't think that the drain was run direct to the sump as it should have been but they needed to open the concrete to verify. I also asked why there was no water in the sumps. They ran tests with water for 2 hours and didn't see water and tried to explain to me that it was expected since the water was running out around the drainage under the foundation. They even had a supervisor try to explain to me over the phone when I questioned it. It took them several weeks to return to fix the cellar drain and sure enough, the pipe was just run to under the foundation and not directed into the trench/sump. A repair team came out and busted up the concrete to correct it. In doing so, they saw that their trench was also not connected to the sumps at all, which is why I never saw water in the sumps and not the mysterious theory they tried to convince me of weeks prior. This is terrible that there is no inspection of work prior to covering it totally with concrete. Or further, there was no physical test of running water in the system to verify the sump works. The repair team that came out were wonderful and did everything correct. After this, I called 3 times and asked for a manager to call me to discuss this and never received a response. The salesman stopped answering my calls. As a note, after spending $30K on this upgrade to my house, it was in worse risk than prior to JES so if you choose them, be careful."

"Horrible sloppy work! Don came out and told me I needed a new sump pump because Radon was run into my current sump pump. Told me the sump pump he installed would drain outside into my drain spout. I approved work and when sump pump was installed they did not run it where they stated because the wall was thick concrete (should have known before). As a result they ran the pipes from the sump pump in the air and drilled a hole through the outside of my house. They did not secure the pipes properly and did not use the proper joints. Loud banging noise kept me and my neighbors up all night! Don came back out and agreed job was sloppy and he would fix it. Suggested running pipes from new sump pump into my current sump pump that he previously said we couldn't use!!! I pointed out to him that workers did not use the negative air which was promised, hence my basement was covered in dust, pipes were dangling, and outside stone landscaping and wall were in disorder from worker trying to drill through foundation wall. Pipes are now run across ground (eye sore), joints are still wrong and leaked. I was told I would have money refunded which I have been pursuing for over 2 months. Don, owner is rude, arrogant and hot headed! So much more went wrong!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.
