"I thought a plumber would just snake the drain and pipe from the tub. But the snake wouldn't go through the up and down of the brass pipe. They replaced the pipe and put on a new spout and drain stopper for a better price than previous plumber wanted for snaking the drain. In my home less than 2 hours. All of impressed me."

"As a project manager in the construction industry I can tend to be a little overbearing when it comes to hiring contractors to work on my own home. During the discovery/bid process Cody was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with explaining the issue and the options we had to remedy my problem. Their bid came in at a fair value and below what I was as expecting so we signed the contract to move forward with the work. Olshan installed 8 cable lock st piers to lift and stabilize our foundation. Alejandro was in charge of the actual work on our home and he is an absolute rock star. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that the job was performed correctly. His crew was respectful of our home and got in and out as quickly and cleanly as they could. Alejandro answered all texts and phone calls in a reasonable amount of time and always kept me in the loop. Overall, foundation work is tough but Olshan made it look easy. Cody and Alejandro were exceptional throughout the process and I trust if I ever need anything in the future they will be there for me."

"Where do I start?!? If I could give Jason 10 stars, I would. He was at my house an hour after I called in a panic when several drains were clogged and unusable. He was professional, friendly, and got right to work. His experience and problem-solving skills were clear right from the start. When my old pipes for one drain didn’t allow him to snake down far enough to clear the clog, he simply moved to another drain to do what needed to be done. Shortly after that, the clog(s) was cleared. When I despaired out loud while he was in the first drain that it didn’t sound promising, he simply replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll get it cleared!” I would absolutely recommend Jason to anyone and everyone who needs an experienced, honest, friendly and hard-working plumber, and will be sending my family and friends his contact information. I’m already making a list of other plumbing projects I’d like him to do for me. Seriously, the world needs more people like him."

"Great job! They did a very professional, thorough upfront planning prior to installation. The installation team was very courteous. We were quite pleased with the system. They also offer other services, so it is nice to be able to use one company. We are having them do aerating and over-seeding next."

"I am a very busy person, so I often get referrals from trusted people to save time. I personally know many happy customers who had work done by this company, so they were the only place I called when I needed my home's foundation repaired.  I knew it was going to be a huge job. In Nov 2014 they came out to look at our failing foundation walls and give us a quote for the work. One wall had been replaced in the 1980's and was fine. The other 3 walls were clay brick. Two of the walls had huge cracks and were falling down. They needed complete replacement. The other wall wasn't cracked and looked ok to me. They said it did not need to be replaced, but that it did need to be braced. This was not presented as "option" so much as a necessity for the home to have a solid foundation. The original quote for 2 new walls and one braced wall was about $36,000. We approved the quote and scheduled the work for the earliest time which was in about 3 months. All along the sales guy and other staff members were very professional and friendly. To prepare, we had to move our air conditioner, some fencing and a few other things to allow access for the crew.The week before work was to start a guy (not the salesman) came out to do a final inspection and make sure those things had been done. Much to our surprise, he told us that they could not brace the wall as they had originally recommended. I was told that they don't brace clay brick walls because it is not effective and the only option is to rebuild the wall. I was then put back in contact with the salesman to discuss the issue. He said it would be an extra $15,000 to do the work. This was not good news. Then he told me that the wall didn't really need replaced and so they could just replace the other walls and do nothing to the 3rd. I was confused. Three months ago he told me that the wall needed braced . A couple days ago the inspection guy said it should be replaced. Now I am being told it's fine?  His explanation was that the bracing option wasn't so much to fix the wall as it was to prevent a problem. I asked, why did the other guy say I need to replace the wall? His explanation was that clay brick is not the best foundation type and ideally should be replaced. However, the wall at this time is stable so I didn't need to replace it.  Then I asked; why was I told to brace a clay brick wall 3 months ago if that doesn't even work?   Basically, he said this was his mistake. He tried to make it right by getting the owner's involved and we had many discussions by phone. He made himself available at all times of day and was always professional and friendly. Unfortunately, I had lost my confidence in their recommendations. Did my wall need braced, replaced, or left alone? I ended up calling about 10 other basement companies to sort it out. All of the companies agreed that the walls would not be fixed by bracing them. They all agreed that the two cracked walls needed to be replaced. They all agreed that wall in question was currently stable and we could wait until it becomes a problem, but that it makes better sense to replace it now since we are already tearing out the other 2 walls. We agreed and went with another company who replaced all 3 walls for almost $19,000 less than the quote we got from Midwest. I don't think Midwest was out to get us or anything like that. I think there were some internal issues with communication that led to our problem. They were very professional and I think that if we had gone with them, the work would have been done right.  Although my experience was initially very frustrating, it forced me to get more than one opinion which I should have done from the start. Ultimately their mistake led to me saving a ton of money and getting the sturdy, dry foundation that my home needed.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the scope and site preparation.

Yes, you can add a battery to your existing sump pump. There are batteries available that can be plugged into your existing system; however, most battery backups come as a complete system and act as a replacement for your existing sump pump.

Costs depend on pump type, labor, and site-specific requirements like excavation or drainage lines.

Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.
