"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Real Seal in July 2024. They fixed a bowing foundation and waterproofed the basement for future finishing. Their team was prompt, respectful, organized and thoroughly educated us on the drainage tile system, installation process and prevention. Thank you, Real Seal for being the flawless first step to our dream basement/family space!"

They workers (Cam & Andre) called to let me know they were about to arrive, wore shoe covers, quickly assessed the problem, fixed the problem (rodding our drain), and were on their way. They were friendly and professional."

"I called Charlie due to a leaking water heater I discovered at one of my rental properties.  The heater was leaking badly and causing some flooding in the unit.  Charlie came over at around 7pm to get the system to where it would stop leaking, so that the necessary work could be performed the next day.  The leaking water heater was unfortunately boxed in behind another water heater, and there were many original installation problems to deal with.  Lack of proper shutoff valves at the water and gas made everything a lot more complicated.    Charlie came back the next evening and worked until around 12:30 am to ensure that everything was properly hooked up and confirmed personally that all of the tenants were getting water again. He met me the next day and thoroughly described the operation of the heaters and offered to return to help work out some pressure problems caused by the old piping in the building.  The work was quality, and he was very pleasant to deal with.  I plan to call Charlie again in the future if I have any other plumbing or HVAC issues."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

Yes, it is generally unhealthy and can be dangerous to live in a damp basement. The damp air can negatively affect your breathing and lungs, and the moisture promotes mold growth and pest infestations. Inhaling mold spores or waste particles from insects and rodents attracted to the moisture can be hazardous. This damp, moldy air can also circulate into your main living area. It is crucial to resolve any moisture problems and implement preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.

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

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.
