"Add a family crisis to the day after Christmas and it makes for trying times.  But Dan from kelly Plumbing came to the house less than an hour after my call and not only offered sound advice regarding my problem, but he also guided me to saving money.  His professionalism and honesty were outstanding, and he showed genuine concern for my home situation as well.  I highly recommend this company and he will be my go to plumber from now on.  What a gem to have found!"

"Tim was very responsive from day one.  The job was on a cabin about 3 hours from where I live and he updated me regularly on the progress of the work. With the rain we have had this summer, the job turned into much more than he had bargained for (or quoted for)...but he stuck with it until the job was completed.  The work he did for me turned out great and I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for a hard working and honest contractor who does excellent work.

"The landing on my basement stairs was collapsing, and since I use the stairway multiple times a day to access my backyard, it needed to be repaired as soon as possible. John responded to my concerns in a very timely manner. After examining the stairway, he identified the problem within a few minutes and securely attached the frame of the landing to a concrete header before bolstering the entire stairway with cross braces. The stairway now feels more sturdy than it’s ever been. I was so impressed by John’s strong work ethic, his timeliness in responding to my concerns, his honesty in charging me a fair wage for his work, and his willingness to demonstrate how he intended to fix the problem. I have an older house that’s overdue for several repairs and remodeling projects that are perfect for a good handyman’s skills, and I will definitely call on John again."

"Mike from Pioneer Plumbing did an excellent job of replacing our leaky kitchen faucet.  He even tried his best to fix the old one first, to try and save us some money. 
He was very professional and punctual.  I will definitely recommend doing business with Pioneer Plumbing.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The best way to ensure the ground next to your home’s foundation drains properly is to divert water away from it as much as possible. While a flood wall can stop water from entering the house, gutters and spouts can help direct rainwater and melting snow away from the foundation. Keep your gutters as clear as possible from dead leaves and other yard debris so they can effectively divert water from your house. Add extenders to the spouts so the water runs out and away from your home, not into the surrounding soil.

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

It’s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that’s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.
