"Please DO NOT HIRE. Andrew Spears preys on women. I had hired him for various small jobs to prepare my rental for sale. He claimed he could do and finish all work within two days , charging 500 a day plus supplies. He never showed on the first day but his two young sons did. They were limited to the extent of work they could do, stating their dad had the tools they needed to do the work. They had left the tub surround they had pulled out on my hard wood floors without any tarps. When I called Andrew to ask why he never called or showed he explained he had another project, when I asked if he was charging for a full day he said would only charge half day. On second day my husband came with me and Andrew's demeanor changed abruptly. After first day of work Andrew asked for 500 to pay for supplies, when asked for receipts he claimed it will all be on an invoice after work is done. Third day he asked for three days pay and still hadn't started vent on water heater, denying he said he would only charge half day for the day he never showed. Then proceeds to say I will have pay additional money when he comes back to fix water heater flue. His work was poor, left mess, totally disrespectful to my property,cut tile in our family room, when he was asked to come clean his mess and repair his poor work he had an attitude, was cleaning his construction mess with my home vacuum, my vacuum is now broke. He tried to make me feel guilty and accused my husband and I of lying. When asking for receipts he said the receipts were on bathroom wall referring to his work. As time went on and we hired others to repair his poor work we have found more and more flaws in his work, he had left hot wires in attic, fire hazard, tub tile he used wrong grout, uneven, did not seal and left too large of gap for the tub glaze guy to caulk, was never able to put recess lights in that he said he would, left drooping in ceiling where he drywall patched, list goes on , again when we approached him about the poor work had an attitude and argumentive. When he never showed for last part of job we asked him not to come back. Then he became defensive and threatened to put a lien on my house. Please stay away from this contractor."

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure—these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent.  

In most cases, standard homeowners insurance policies cover water damage from sudden, accidental damage, like burst pipes and leaking appliances. However, water damage caused by flooding, groundwater seepage, or heavy rain is likely to be excluded from coverage. Check your policy to be sure, as some plans include opt-in flood insurance coverage. Certain companies also allow homeowners to add an optional water backup endorsement to a policy.

The easiest methods for waterproofing your basement include installing a gutter system to direct excess runoff away from your foundation and grading the soil away from your home to pull water away from the concrete. In some cases, these methods alone can be enough to eliminate water intrusion and moisture problems in your basement. If you have excessive rainfall in your area, though, you might need to employ more complicated solutions, like installing a French drain and a dehumidification system inside.

Yes, many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.

French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. 

Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.
