Why do French drains fail?

• <div><p>French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. </p><p>Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix dampness in walls?

• <div><p>The best way to fix dampness in walls is to find the root cause and fix the underlying issue. After that, you&rsquo;ll need to dry the wall with a heavy-duty fan and potentially a dehumidifier. If the wall has water damage, you can remove the damaged drywall, patch it with a new piece, and then paint it to match the rest of the wall. </p></div>

Q: Do I need permits for flooded basement cleanup or repairs?

• <div><p>Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.</p></div>

Q: What causes a basement wall to bow?

• <div><p>External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure&mdash;these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent. </p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a sewer backflow preventer?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you&rsquo;re done, now&rsquo;s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.</p></div>

I highly recommend Steve. He did a major repair but because the machine was still too far gone and ending up needing replacing he did not charge me one cent. He was professional, friendly, competent, on time and easy to work with. I'll be using him for all my appliance repairs in the future.
