"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"

"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."

"Based on our past experience with AOM (interior painting), we used them to powerwash our home. They had all the appropriate equipment and did an excellent job. Our 20 year old vinyl siding looks totally refreshed. David is easy to work with and goes the extra mile. We will continue to AOM for future projects.

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.

If you leave liquid drain cleaner for too long, it will start breaking down your drainpipes. The chemicals in these cleaners can cause cracks, corrosion, and leaks in your pipes. They can also damage plumbing fixtures and even cause environmental damage if left too long without rinsing away.

A clogged air gap can cause a dishwasher not to drain. There are, however, other potential issues that can lead to improper drainage. For example, if you have attached the air gap to a garbage disposal and forgotten to remove the knockout plug, wastewater may backflow into the dishwasher. Check that the air gap is installed properly, and then look for clogs in the air gap and dishwasher filters. 

To get rid of a sewer smell in your crawl space, you’ll have to find the source of the problem. If it has to do with your sewer lines, then repairing the line will help. You may need to make other repairs, like fixing your sump pump or encapsulating your crawl space to reduce moisture. After you make the repair, depending on the issue, you may still need to clean out your crawl space to get rid of the stink.

The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. 

To prevent clogs, get yourself:

  • A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. 

  • Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.

  • Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.

P.S.: If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain.
