"Needed to have a water softener loop and drain installed with associated replumbing of outside faucets and kitchen main (these have to remain "hard"). Very fast and professional. Great price"
"Straightline did a great job. Cody was in touch and monitoring the progress frequently all three days. I did have one small concern but Cody immediately responded and resolved it. Rain caused a delay but they finished when promised just in time for the next rain/wind storm. It was nice not seeing shingles flying off the house for a change!! I had two previous layers so they had to strip it bare. I have a powerful magnet mounted on wheels. I ran it around the house and found ONE nail in the grass!! That's impressive!!"
"Our hot water heater quit running Sunday morning. We got on Angie's list and put out an sos. Vince with Marathon plumbing answered us quickly and came out to our house within the hour. And we had hot running water by 12:30 p.m. they've installed an overflow relief valve to our floor drain in our basement. The work was done quickly and with good quality. And disposed of our old one. Thank you, Vince."
"Well. 1st plumber who looked at the system said shower valves needed to be replaced but that was a problem because there are no access panels. Chaub plummer advised valves were good quality and there was no need to replace. He replaced/installed new hardware and did a great job in a timely manner."
"I had a major drain blockage that was backing up into my home, and Mountain Edge Plumbing came to the rescue! They were quick to respond, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. They explained the issue, cleared the clog efficiently, and even gave me tips to help prevent it from happening again. Everything is flowing perfectly now. Highly recommend them for any plumbing issues—top-notch service from start to finish!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
“Basement waterproofing” sometimes refers to applying a waterproof sealant to basement walls, in which case you would use a waterproof paint, often made of latex. However, there are many methods you can use to waterproof a basement, including exterior drainage systems, interior drainage systems, dehumidifiers, and more. As such, the materials you use can vary depending on the methods you use.
Yes, water coming up from the floor should be treated as an emergency. If you're unable to either identify or stop the source of the water on your own, contact an emergency plumber right away. In addition to harming your flooring, standing or pooled water can lead to water-damaged concrete.
There are a few downsides to a wet room, the most important of which is the risk of mold growth from the moisture and humidity. Standard bathrooms can have the same issue, but wet rooms are more likely to experience problems because water is less carefully contained. You also have less privacy since the entire bathroom is open, and the room must include waterproofing, which makes wet rooms more expensive to install than regular bathrooms.
Brick is designed to absorb moisture, but it is also designed to let it evaporate as well. So in general, the goal shouldn’t necessarily be keeping moisture out but making sure it has the room to breathe. If you have excess moisture getting through your brick wall, it’s more likely that you have a crack or other issue at play that a typical sealant won’t fix. So, instead of investing in sealant, try repairing your brick wall instead.
A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.
