"Old mulch was taken up including the liner. There were no weeds growing through the old mulch. My husband said to the worker don t you need to put down liner so the weeds don t come through, , the worker said no it will be fine. Just 3 months later weeds are everywhere you can barely see the mulch. I have downloaded pictures. If he would have listened we would not be where we are today. Then he was suppose to fill in the pond with rocks because I didn t want a pond a week later after a heavy rain the pond was back. All the money I paid for those rocks fell to the bottom. I was told by a contractor that he needed to add sand or dirt and pack it. The rain went right through the rocks.I paid him 3200.00 dollars and he had the nerves to say we chose the cheap way well what is the cheap way wanting weeds to grow all over the place and a pond with water just sitting there. 3 months later I m filing a complaint 3200.00 dollars for 3 months is highway robbery. We never said anything about cheap way 3200.00 dollars is not cheap, guess he had to come up with something. He shouldn t have taken on a job he couldn t do. When I called him he said there was no way the pond would stay dry we have to pump water out every time it rained. I couldn t believe he said that. Then he says we have to pull weeds out the mulch every time they grow this man is nuts. So I m here can t sit in my back because the mosquitoes are bad because of the standing water. The weeds are everywhere and he won t even reply anymore. He said he would come when another contractor comes never came. I told him to call my son which he said he would never did.I can t believe it. He just took our hard earned money and said I don t care what s going on I was paid. I m so angry because I trusted him he seemed like a nice guy but turned evil on us. I m disabled on a fixed income put a project off to pay him and this is how he treated us. He never even came by to speak with us that s terrible."

MidAmerica Basement Systems is your premier locally owned and operated company that specializes in foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, concrete leveling, and radon mitigation.

"Salesman that we were to replace dry wall. Later learned we were to have it removed. Attempts to reach supervisors and owners resulted in zero until time to do installation. Gave $1300+ down. Note: this went to the salesman, not to MABS. Then salesman stated $12,000 more if MABS removed the dry wall. Paid salesman and his friend to remove it but didn't do all of it! Sent certified letters to Cedar Rapids address after we got no verbal responses to phone calls. Later learned they receive no mail there, only in Davenport. Were to have GFI outlet placed at far end of basement. 3 electricians said not possible. Also discharge was to be underground to rear of yard which we thought meant to back! House sits on clay. Was to discharge under ground out 10 feet from house. Canceled installation and have found that other basement waterproofing companies do not require 2.5 feet of dry wall removed: only baseboard. Cost was same as MABS. Now we must pay to have drywall installed after the waterproofing is completed."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.
