"Don Felton and his crew did a great job installing 2 sumps and a drain system in our basement. They were professional, cleaned up the mess and did it for half the cost of the big name basement waterproofing companies. Don even power washed our deck as a "thank you" for doing business with him. That's practically unheard of these days!"

"I couldn't be more pleased with Jake and the job he did for me. I had him installed a new kitchen faucet and bathroom shower head. Small jobs, but had to be done. He was very polite and professional. I knew when he put covers over his shoes before he did anything, that he was going to do a neat job. After he left, it looked like he had never been here. The price was great and the job was done in a timely manner. I would definitely use him again. Gladys"

I am a jack of trades independent contractor/ handyman with 10+ years experience. I am not a licensed plumber, licensed electrician, or licensed roofer. With that said it's easier to just tell you the things that I don't do. I do not do drain work, I do not replace electrical lines or panel boxes, I do not replace plumbing lines which includes water and gas, and I do not replace roofs. Aside from that I can do everything else, and have the tools to do so.

"They proved themselves absolutely excellent under the worst of circumstances, and honest as the day is long. We had a sewer backup in the basement and they came to clear the line. They gave us quotes for immediate and long term solutions. We chose both. Everything turned out to be much more difficult than they had imagined. The sewer layout was entirely different than would normally be expected. It caused problems with their equipment. Worse, it meant that the long term solution of installing an access point for boring was vastly more difficult than they had thought. NONETHELESS THEY STOOD BY THEIR ORIGINAL ESTIMATE. They did not charge us a dime extra! They ended up doing probably ten times they work they had expected for no more money. They had to dig an eight-foot deep hole entirely by hand! But they remained pleasant and friendly throughout, unwaveringly calm. Can not recommend them enough."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.

Some sump pumps are powered by water rather than electricity. Water-powered sump pumps generally use one gallon of city water to pump out two gallons of water from its basin. Therefore, if you're looking at a potential 10,000-gallon flood, your sump pump will need to use 5,000 gallons of city water to prevent it.

If the time has come to install a French drain in your yard, basement, or crawl space, there's a solid chance you've been battling water damage—or the threat of water damage—around these areas. Thankfully, proper drainage should allow you to redesign these areas of your home without the fear of being inundated during the next storm. If you've had to remove a portion of your lawn for an exterior French or curtain drain, consider reseeding your lawn to patch up the spot. You can also take this opportunity to enhance your foundation waterproofing methods or even start thinking about finishing your basement .

Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on the system and site conditions.

Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.
