"The crew was delayed a day at another job, but once the mulch was delivered everything was completed in one and one-half days. They did a great job and did everything they said they would do. The job required a lot of mulch and looks great. We are already receiving compliments from our neighbors."

"Once we hired this company our experience with him was good. He was on time and he did the work we requested. A few days after installation we noticed that the was a gap and the water was once again pooling in our garden beds pushing out our mulch which is why we decided to purchase gutters anyway. We spoke to him and explained the issue, he gave us a day he'd come by to fix the issue. He never showed up and he will not respond to our calls or text. It is very disappointing and unprofessional that he is not following up on his work. It was a little more then a week when we noticed the issue. I'm concerned about the issues we will in the future. At this point I would NOT recommend him to anyone due to his lack of following up to assure his customer is satisfied with the work."

"1000% Perfection!!!!! whole house re piped Let me start out by saying I am not easily impressed. My husband and I were without water in our newly bought home for a week, after calling several companies we were let down and left again without any running water to our home. I happened to do another search for a plumbing company and expected the same let down but, Duck Duck Rooter came through. Sean, came down, did a assessment and explained to me every detail that was needed and that would take place. Sean, assembled a team which was Mike & Enoch and we could not have asked for a better team. They went above and beyond, extremely knowledgeable, polite and respectful. Mike & Enoch, took extreme care not to let my beloved cats out while going in and out, they kept their work areas clean and made sure not to destroy or make a mess of my house. Mike & Enoch, treated me and my home with respect which I appreciate more than anything. They are welcomed at our house anytime when they are in t"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Water leakage through window openings is much more common in older homes, but it can also create issues with window frames that are improperly installed. If left unattended, water buildup can cause damage to surrounding fixtures, lead to harmful mold, and compromise the architectural integrity of your home. The potential damage that a water leak poses makes investing in weather- and water-proofing your window frames entirely worthwhile.

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

If your basement often leaks after heavy rain, it’s probably caused by hydrostatic pressure. When the ground is saturated with water, it can put pressure on the exterior of your home’s foundation, causing cracks in the basement wall and pushing water through any existing weak spots. Over time, hydrostatic pressure can cause structural damage to your home.

The most flood-resistant materials you can count on in a flood scenario are concrete, closed-cell insulation, foam insulation (also known as expandable foam), pressure-treated wood, marine-grade plywood, and ceramic tile. When a material is flood-resistant, it can withstand direct contact with floodwater for at least 72 hours without being significantly damaged.
