"Fernando and his team installed a french drain and water basins in our yard to help keep water away from our foundation and back porch. He was very communicative, quick to respond and given an estimate, and was done within one day of work. His price was very reasonable! I will definitely reach out to him again if more needs arise!"

"Everdry came was able to come earlier than the scheduled date. We had French drains dug outside our foundation and in the crawlspace, dehumidifier and sub pump installed, and the crawlspace encapsulated. The supervisor was very polite and answered all questions during the insulation. All the work was completed in a couple of days. There was some follow up work and it was done in a timely matter. Overall, we’ve been happy with the work."

"I had a flooded basement due to a storm. In the process also discovered 2 large foundations cracks. After calling in several foundation repair companies Hitman was the only one who took the time to properly diagnose the cause of my flood. Their team then fixed and repaired all of the issues in a day. I am so grateful because this flood was uninsured costs I didn’t want to face again. One of the other companies I had come in to diagnose gave me a $10,000 proposal that wouldn’t have even fixed the problems. Thank you Hitman for running an exceptional business."

"The crews were extraordinarily polite, friendly, efficient, and very energetic. They ran into a lot of underground water when digging the trench for the buckled wall repair, but were able to put in the necessary reinforcements from inside the basement extending out to the trenched area. We live in an area with a lot of underground springs and artesian water, and when they began work the dirt under the foundation and crawl space was just wet mud, and water poured in at 36 inches deep as they created an outlet for the water to be safely drained away from the house. The basement is completely dry and we have a back up sump pump. My basement is surrounded by a crawl space since it was added after the house was built. The sump pumps and dehumidifier are warrantied for 5 years and the waterproofing has a lifetime warranty. Our house had problems because the basement was added after the house was built, but Indiana Foundation was able to make the house safe, and completely dry and usable. Since we live on a hillside, we will be adding a French drain behind the house and garage, far enough away to not further damage any of the foundations, but at the natural flow of the hillside where water collects to run down hill or underground. If we go at least 36 inches deep, it should help reduce some of the water that flows into the house area. This was some advice given by the supervisor at Indiana Foundation. They don't install French drains any longer, as they don't carry away all water and don't carry a guarantee, but in our situation it will probably help and is something I will be contracting out in the near future. The French drain is similar to what farmers install in fields to drain away excess water to a creek or deep ditch. It isn't something we have to do, but it will put a lot less strain on the sump pumps and other equipment, and in case of a long term power outage, would likely save our other appliances too (furnace, water heater, walls, etc.). I love the battery back up pump and it has already been in use twice when we had two separate power outages from storms. The workmen from Indiana Foundation were delightful to have in my home, running in and out with loads of materials, cheerfully hammering the walls and floors to install their system. Second: My electrician was able to repair a line running to our garage after the water problem was resolved. Water poured in over the connections in the basement without our realizing it, and no electricity was live in the back room of the garage. New basement, New Electric, New Plumbing - we are very happy with the results!"

"I have a contract with them. I've been very pleased with them. I had a contract with them that I had originally got as a special deal. It was very reasonable. They come out and check the furnace and then they check the plumbing and the air conditioner at a different time. They did the plumbing at the same time as the air conditioner this year. So, I guess it's two times. I've always been very satisfied with them, and I think they're honest and as far as I could see I think they do a good job. From my point of view with my contract, I think they're reasonable. If you have extra things to do and you have a contract with them you get a bit of a discount if you have to call them at another time. I think they are good people. They use to send a thank-you note; I don't know if they're still doing that. I got a 10% discount on that because I'm a member and I renewed my yearly check ups. To provide and install the tub spout was 179.23 minus 10% that's $17.93 and then the work under the kitchen was $65 and that totaled 226.39. As far as I can tell in this day and age, I think that seems reasonable. But, I don't know I haven't had any plumbing work done in quite awhile. But, the thing about this is that I really trust them, so far so good. I started with them in 2012, so that was five years ago. I sign up as they said every year just one time, for me, I pay $129, but I think they haven't increased it for people like us who have been with them the whole way. I'm not sure if it's $129 for somebody new, it might be a little more than that. They completely check the furnace and then explain the air conditioning. Then they move to your water heater and drain that if you have one like that needs to be drained. Then they check the plumbing fitting and that's when we found out we needed knew fitting, well actually I knew. For 129 to get the three checkups during the year, I think it's reasonable. It seems like a fair price to me."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Statistics show that 98% of basements will experience some form of water damage over time. However, that doesn’t mean all basements will experience severe flooding. The best way to prevent a water-damaged basement is to keep up with home maintenance and have proper drainage installed outside your home to direct water away from the foundation. You can also consider building a flood wall around the house if you live in a flood-prone area.

In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn’t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary.

It depends on what caused your basement flooding, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don’t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately.

Yes, you can add a battery to your existing sump pump. There are batteries available that can be plugged into your existing system; however, most battery backups come as a complete system and act as a replacement for your existing sump pump.

Basement toilets don’t always need a pump. However, it is the most common setup because plumbing systems use gravity to move waste away from the home. Basement toilets often sit below the home’s main sewage system, and installing a sewage ejector pump pushes the wastewater and sewage up to the main sewer line. Alternatively, you can use an upflush or macerator toilet that breaks down the waste and pushes it straight to the main sewer line rather than via a sewer line from the bathroom.
