"Foundation Recovery Systems did a great job raising our front porch and a section of our driveway in the summer of 2023. Today we had a follow-up inspection performed by Ryan Swift, a service technician with the company. Everything is still looking good and Ryan was very thorough and professional while performing and explaining the inspection. I highly recommend Foundation Recovery Systems."

"These guys were awesome, everyone from sales to the installers were laid back and professional. There weren't any gimmicks and they had the best quotes and install timelines. Hands down the best experience we had. We had a new A/C, Furnace and water heater all done in 7 hours."

"I was told initially the project would take a full day to replace the furnace and AC. We were lucky that a second crew became available and 4 people showed up and wrapped up the project in a little over 4hours."

"We needed to have our driveway replaced. We chose PCWS based on Angi reviews and we are very glad we did. Chris came out and did the initial estimate and answered all our questions. We scheduled it for late May but they had an opening and worked us in early, which was much appreciated. Bob was our foreman and did an excellent job. He was very friendly and took time to explain what they were doing at various stages of the project. While preparing the base they pointed out some issues they thought should be corrected before installing the new driveway. We really appreciated that extra attention to detail. The finished product is excellent and so much stronger than the original. I have no reservations about recommending PCS and would be happy to hire them again if we need more work in the future."

"Great company to work with from start to finish. Not only did the crew come in time each day, they came early! They did great work and were the best value hands down. They were almost half the cost of the other guys who quoted our job. They added new concrete footers,new posts and reinforced the joists in my old basement beefier lifting it a bit. Great job all the way! I will be calling them soon to add a new sump pump at our new house now."

"I first contacted DeWit Roofing back in the fall of 2014.  I had some water damage on my ceilings and  had other issues with the roof in the past.  Tim came and inspected the roof, measured and provided an estimate.  He suggested that I wait until spring to replace the roof due to the pitch of my roof and the fact he did not feel he could guarantee the roof because the shingles would not have the opportunity to seal due to cooler weather.  He did offer to seal any areas that looked to be troublesome before winter.
Early this spring Tim was in touch and we scheduled a time for my roof to be replaced.  The crew arrived on time, worked quickly, cleaned up after themselves and I was quite pleased with my new roof.
Unfortunately in the process of removing the old shingles my picture window was scratched in several places.  Tim responded quickly to my concerns and after  I researched options for repairing the damage, Tim graciously authorized the full replacement of my picture window.  I was reimbursed promptly for the cost of the window.
I would not hesitate to recommend DeWit for roofing needs.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Sump pumps prevent basement flooding, reduce humidity, and protect against water damage.

A sump pump can be added to an existing basement. To do this, you will need to use a jackhammer or sledgehammer to break up the concrete and dig a pit. You will also need to create a hole in your basement wall to run the discharge pipe through.

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

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.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites
