"Great. The crew arrived on time and the foreman explained the job they were about to do. They begin by hanging plastic sheeting to ensure the dust would be minimal while they busted out 1 foot of the basement floor. They covered the basement stairs before the work began to ensure that it was proctected. As the construction progressed, others in the crew began the trenching of the run-off pipe to keep the water from re-entering the basement.
 They encountered difficulties due to a tree root that was blocking the piping. They overcame this problem by routing around the tree root by using a flexible tube that worked very well. They worked very well together and were very jovial although this work is very difficult and laborious.
The foreman inspected the work at each step to ensure it was done correctly.The sump pump was installed and the filler rock and seep drain piping was installed. Concrete was smoothed over the top of the channel and the routing of the drain pipe completed, even attaching the outside downspout to the new run off.After complete, everything was cleaned up and the final process was discussed with my wife and I.
We are very happy with the results and look forward to a dry basement.!
Great job, Greentree Waterproofing.

"My existing window well had pulled back from the homes foundation over the past 20 years, allowing water and sediment to enter the well. Sediment would plug the drain causing water to build up and create an aquarium in the window well. You pass waterproofing installed a new window well and securely fastened it to the cement foundation. They carefully removed the previous window well and took care not to brutalize the surrounding landscape. Completely satisfied with their work"

"This is an amazing group of people who work work well together and care about the quality of their work. After spring flooding we had an interior waterproofing system installed which required over 200 linear feet of foundation trenching to install a water collection system and 2 sump pumps. Darrin was incredibly thorough with the system design and answered dozens of my questions. Andy did a great job working around our schedule. Jeff and his crew did the job quickly and professionally. I do a lot of my own home projects and I'm particular about my home repairs. This group went beyond my expectations from the trenching itself, installation, pea gravel fill and concrete foundation repair (which was flawless). The crew kept the work site tidy and clean and were respectful and hardworking. I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"We couldn't be more pleased with Indiana Foundation Service! After living in our home for many years we finally have sump pumps and a drain in our crawlspace with a new vapor barrier. The crawlspace was always wet in the spring with a musty smell that transmitted to the living space. While we would have preferred an encapsulation the cost was more than we were comfortable with. Jamie Montgomery, Raymond Martin, and Jeremy Pyles were excellent! They arrived on time, went to work immediately, protected the interior of our home and cleaned up completely afterwards. The whole process was most professional, from the initial call to Aaron Ewert, salesperson. Everything was like clock work. Highly recommend Indiana Foundation Service!"

"Roger is a great guy and his crew did a wonderful job remediating our flooding issues by putting in drainage systems that divert water around our house for some very serious flooding issues. They also installed a sidewalk to divert water and a drainage system under the sidewalk. They worked very hard and they were very courteous and kind."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

You can unclog a double kitchen sink by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog. 

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

  • Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel

  • Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain

  • Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes

  • Open the drain

  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.

Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.

Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you’ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.

The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.
