Q: What's the difference between a channel drain and a French drain?

• <div><p>While both a channel drain and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-french-drain.htm">French drain</a> serve a similar purpose, a French drain is designed to prevent groundwater from causing flooding issues. This type of drain system goes underneath the soil and is completely surrounded by soil and rock. A channel drain, also called a trench drain, removes surface water before it ever enters the ground&mdash;hence the concrete and above-ground installation method.</p></div>

Q: How much does basement waterproofing cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-basement-waterproofing-cost.htm">cost of basement waterproofing</a> is <b>$4,950</b> for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between <b>$600 and $14,000</b>, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in. </p><p>If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between <b>$2,500</b> <b>and $5,000</b> to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement. </p></div>

Q: What are the pros and cons of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:</p><p>Pros</p><ul><li><p>Can increase the value of your home</p></li><li><p>Separate space from the rest of the house </p></li><li><p>Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style</p></li><li><p>Increase the amount of living space in your home</p></li></ul><p>Cons</p><ul><li><p>May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing</p></li><li><p>Lack of natural light if it&rsquo;s below ground level</p></li><li><p>Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage</p></li><li><p>Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why does my basement leak after heavy rain?

• <div><p>If your basement often leaks after heavy rain, it&rsquo;s probably caused by hydrostatic pressure. When the ground is saturated with water, it can put pressure on the exterior of your home&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do I easily access my drain valves?

• <div><p>You may have to dig out drain valves if they are buried under dirt. This method isn&rsquo;t ideal, and it increases the chance of clogs and damage. Ideally, a drip irrigation system buries drain valves in a gravel pocket so they are easier to access and better-protected. If you have trouble accessing drain valves, hire a sprinkler professional to find them safely and efficiently.</p></div>

Sunday night and the toilet didn’t work. Wouldn’t fill and wouldn’t flush. Christian came, saw and drove to Home Depot and repaired it all on a Sunday night. That’s customer service.

I thought it was a little pricey and it took a while to schedule an appointment. They repaired my system and charged me separately for the repair. The tune up was not necessary.
