Get matched with top french drain pros in Ames, IA

"Very fast and efficient while also informing of us of more then one option while we decided on which option worked for our family . Overall great experience!"

"Plumber looked at it from above and wrote up an”upfront quote” of $540 to replace a $20 drain. Hired a different plumber that was by no means fast and paid half of that."

"Kent Clayberg proudly, patiently explained Foundation Recovery Systems services available and quality products they use at affordable pricing. Answer to a prayer. I need sump pump drainage line repaired, sidewalk raised, etc. Peace of mind is a phone call away."

"They put in drain tile and a sump pump in the basement and a compression guard in the drive. They were helpful and friendly and professional."

"They had been servicing our stuff for years. We had a 40 year old air conditioner that they replaced. With the furnace, that was the 3rd furnace in our house. We found out we had a bad heat exchange during a service inspection. It was over 20 years old. The quality of service was excellent. They came out as soon as they could. It could not have been done any faster. There are other heating and air conditioner companies in Des Moines but I have not used anyone else for years."

"The work isn't done yet, but the procedure and professionals thus far have been wonderful!"

Thank you!"

"According to the website, the person we met with is a "Foundation Expert."  Per his advice, we needed about $8000 in beams because the cement blocks showed bowing/cracking.  This house is only 650 sq feet and built in the 1950s.  He basically implied that the walls had extensive damage and the house would never sell unless we put beams up.  He deemed the repairs done by a previous homeowner as very bad and said they needed to be fixed immediately.  The waterproofing system was an additional $3500.
The whole thing seemed more like a sales pitch using the fear factor of a bad foundation.  And, I was put off by the "buy now" price difference.  They would give me a "realtor discount" if I agreed to do the work and pay the deposit right away.  Like I'd ever spend $12K without getting other bids and researching the heck out of it.
We decided to hire a structural engineer that wasn't trying to sell us something to inspect the basement and foundation.  Paying the engineer a couple hundred bucks was worth every penny.  After a full inspection, his professional opinion was that there were no structural issues.  The engineer report states that while the repairs made by the previous homeowner made were "unsightly" they are effective.  Meaning - the method they used was ugly, but the support it provided was effective and adding additional beams was unnecessary. 
I would highly, highly recommend getting a structural engineer before hiring any company to basement repairs.  It saved us about $8000.

"The job only took an hour to complete and went smoothly. Todd made a suggestion on how to arrange the assembly as it was going from 4 holes down to 2 holes. It turned out great. I will definitely use All Trades again."

"Jason did an amazing job on our new shower, tile, toilet and vanity. He was very polite and we couldn’t be happier with the skills he has. 10/10 he’s the guy to hire for your bathroom jobs. So affordable and was willing to work with our color schemes and schedules."
