"Had issue with septic system, toilet not flushing and water backing up into downstairs shower. Called TPB on Monday they scheduled appointment for the next day. The pleasant technicians, Bill and Leo, called and arrived promptly. Pumped the tank (last clean out was 1.5 years earlier); mostly water. Bill, knowledgable and professional explained that the drain field was probably failing. The handle on the tank lid broke off and there was a chunk of concrete missing on the lip of the tank which allowed for sand/dirt and surface water to enter the tank as well. Bill recommended and installed a riser lid, sealing the broken tank lip and allowing easier access to tank. Very efficient and fair price. New drain field will be needed soon."
"It is nice to have Jay for this project, the water held in my lawn is a big headache and Jay was able to help me with that. It is a little bit over the budget, but I think it is good. I had my drainer installed and replace the lawn for the place where the drainer is. I hope the lawn will be better than before. Jay is very nice, he answer the phone call and replies to the text message all the time."

A lot of companies would go as far as this company has. We also have used then in the past and was very happy then."
"The floodingThe flooding was found in timely manner. The repair was found to be the responsibility of the tenant.. The landlord paid for the initial charges and will seek reimbursement from the tenant."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:
Using dehumidifiers
Silicate concrete sealers
Vapor barriers
Baseboard channels
Drain tile systems
Waterproofing paint
Drainage systems
Epoxy injection
Interior French drains
Exterior excavation and waterproofing
Cement waterproofing
Weep tiles
Liquid membrane
Sheet membrane
Yard grading
Gutters and downspouts
Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage.
Some basement waterproofing methods can actually cause your water or moisture problems to get worse, which is why it’s so important to call in a professional who knows how to solve your underlying issue and use the appropriate waterproofing methods. An example of this would be applying latex waterproofing paint to the insides of your basement walls without fixing the water issue outside. Doing so can trap moisture in the basement walls, which can promote mold growth, peeling paint, and even damaged concrete. However, when done by a professional, the only downside to basement waterproofing is the up-front cost.
Preventing future basement flooding often involves installing sump pumps, improving drainage, sealing foundation cracks, and maintaining gutters. Costs vary, but preventive measures can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the solutions chosen. Investing in prevention can save you money on future flooded basement cleanup costs and repairs.
Yes, cleaning a crawl space is worth the cost. Although it's an out-of-sight area, neglecting it can lead to significant problems like pest infestations (including termites and carpenter ants), mold, and fungal growth, which can cause structural damage. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues. While hiring a contractor has ongoing costs, the price for cleaning—typically between $0.50 and $4 per square foot—is much lower than the cost to remediate a pest or mold problem. Additionally, a clean crawl space can lead to improved indoor air quality and more comfortable temperatures in your home.
