Lost vacuum pressure while vacuuming pool at the end of August and pump/motor would not pull water. Had used American Leak Detection System years ago and was very happy with the service then and they have a solid reputation with our pool supply place, so we called them again. Within a reasonable amount of time, the owner, Matt Morgart and his assistant, came out and conducted a very thorough assessment of our pool system providing me with useful additional information that there were no other problems with water lines. They located the site of the blockage (3 pieces of mortar in pipe close to where it leaves skimmer) and showed it to me with fiber optic. Matt provided the estimate to unclog the pipe from the skimmer/main drain to the pump, told me they were backlogged and could not get to us until the end of September, and then installed a temporary line so we could continue to filter the water and back flush/clean DE filter until their next visit when the problem would be corrected. The invoice for this visit was $370 - which I considered quite reasonable for the amount of time spent to determine the problem, install the temporary line, and the information I learned about the integrity of the system. On September 28, Matt and Adam returned, had to cut through concrete to unearth pipe, removed problem section of pipe, replaced pipe, replaced dirt, poured new concrete, etc. Job was done efficiently and neatly - no mess left behind, no time wasted. The cost for this was $775, which I paid upon completion of work. While the price was higher than I would have liked (Who doesn't like to pay less?), having had Matt do work for us previously, I had confidence that the work would be done well and he would stand by his repair. Before turning on the pump/motor, Matt instructed us to wait 24 hours because the glue used on the pipe repairs had thoroughly dried. We waited 32 hours (Monday afternoon) and had problems with pump not being able to pull water through the system. Now Matt had checked the whole line after the repair from the skimmer back to the pump with fiber optics to make sure there were no additional blockages - so we knew that was not a problem. The pump/motor was only a little over a year old. When I called his office, they had Matt call us in the evening on Wednesday to discuss possible strategies to get rid of air block, which we tried without success. Matt then came back on Friday morning and was able to remove the air block and get the system up and running again. I estimate he spent approximately another hour doing so but did not charge me anything for this extra trip or assistance. In summary, we are very, very happy to have the pool operating again and with Matt's excellent diagnostic and repair services, his willingness to come back and get the pool pump/motor functioning again and not charging for it, and his professionalism. When you call the office the first time, you do get a response back the same day. The other wonderful aspect of dealing with his company is that Brooke in his office is very helpful and keeps you apprised of when they will come, the ongoing status, and Matt comes when he says he will and he gives you specific time range and will call you when he is on his way. While you get an invoice at the time of the call, a follow-up typed invoice is also provided specifying the problem and what was done, charges, payment, etc. The company and personnel are professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend them without reservation.

Run - Miami Rip off We have had nothing but problems with the water system and now my wife is sick probably because of drinking contaminated water. They refuse to repair it for some reason trying to blame us. Next step the attorneys said they are on it!! They are a water test company...
Young repairman was one of the best we have hired. He was thorough and precise. Cleaned the mess up and left us with a working refrigerator. We were/are very pleased. Thank you A & J Appliance Repair and Angie's list for referring them. ---- S Young

"The company charged $4000 for a pop-up drainage system to prevent flooding in my stand-alone backyard office. When heavy rain came, it was apparent that the system in place was not working, and despite multiple emails, no one responded for six months. When they did, they sent workers out to do the same job that was already done. They also told me that the system in place would not work and should never have been placed and in the end, recommended I hire an irrigation company, stating that they are not an irrigation company and, when asked about a partial refund since the system placed did not work, they refused. In short, I cannot recommend this company. Poor work, poor customer service."

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Okeechobee, FL
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
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 $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
