"I feel like I had the A-Team working on my driveway project. We had Steve the Field Inspector who identified all the troubled areas. Everything Steve told be about the process, what the team would be doing, and how it would be done. It was all true. When Bryce and Joe showed up. We reviewed the project once again to ensure agreement. The guys got to work. They extended to some drain tile, cleaned out all the cracks, let the polyfoam do its job, and finally sealed all the joints. The result was picture perfect just as I hoped it would be. Thanks Foundation Recovery System team for a great job and a great experience."

"They raised the corner of our foundation and installed 7 push piers to prevent further settlement. This was a very stressful experience for a couple of senior citizens, but the excellent, conscientious workers explained everything they were going to do before doing it. They did everything they said they would do, and they satisfied my husband which is an accomplishment!"
"Very friendly, very knowledgeable, and great price. I would recommend All-Star Basements to anyone in Rochester. They know there stuff and get the job done in a timely fashion at a great price."
"Andres discussed several options with me for a raised deck or patio to the backdoor. He set a reasonable price for all the work he did: raised concrete patio with stairs, door installation, wood railings plus he and his crew were extremely helpful with small jobs I asked for. In the small community I live in it is very hard to find responsive, reliable, reasonable contractors who do the job RIGHT! So glad I found him."
"The sales guy was very impressive. He explained everything about the process and did a detailed inspection of the areas to be worked on. He was honest in saying that sometimes the concrete seams don't match up perfectly, but that the installers would use a grinder to feather out any spots where this would happen. I asked about cracking and he said that it rarely occurred. The installer came on the appointed day and was still there when I returned from work. He had completed much of the job, but indicated that he had trouble with some of the equipment and that some of the poly-leveling material had sprayed around some of the work areas. He said he would come back and finish the next day (which was a Saturday). He returned Saturday and finished. I inspected the work and was generally happy with the concrete leveling; my front step was now very close to it's original height and my patio was shedding water away from the house. But I did find a couple of things that distressed me and told the installer about them: 1. There were two very noticeable cracks and a third very thin one. Would he be filling these cracks to prevent future water damage? 2. There were many places in the driveway where the slabs were still uneven. Was he planning on grinding those down as promised? After he left, I also noticed that the patching material used to fill the holes seemed to be chipping away already and in several holes, did not even come up to the level of the slab. He later called back and said that he would come back and use a high quality sealer to fill the cracks. He didn't mention the uneven concrete. I later was contacted by the office about payment. I explained that there were outstanding issues. I was assured that arrangement had been made to fix them. Then I made the ultimate error: I paid them. When the sales guy made a follow up call, I told him there were still outstanding issues, and that I had been promised that they would be addressed. No cracks have been filled, the holes collect water every time it rains and I am mortified at the prospect of trying to clear snow from my uneven driveway this winter. Could I have made more noise with them about this? Sure. Should I have to after making three people aware of the problems? Certainly not."

Foundation Drain Installation FAQs, answered by experts
Your sump pump will discharge water through a discharge line or pipe. The discharge line should be placed at least 10–20 feet from the foundation to avoid any issues.
Methods include interior sealants, exterior excavation and waterproofing membranes, sump pump installation, and vapor barriers for encapsulation. Techniques vary based on the structure and severity of moisture issues.
Yes, many people choose to bury their sump pump discharge pipes. When you leave the pipe visible in your yard, you might trip over it or accidentally damage it with your lawn mower. Plus, from an aesthetic perspective, hiding the discharge line underground looks nicer than leaving it out in the open. Before burying a sump pump pipe, review your local building codes to make sure your installation is compliant.
DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures proper drainage and reliability.
No, you can’t drain your sump pump into your home’s sewer system. In fact, it’s against the law in many places because dumping extra water into a municipal water system can disrupt or overwhelm the treatment process. And for similar reasons, you shouldn’t discharge a sump pump into your septic system, either.
