Get matched with top french drain pros in Fowler, IN

"Clean smart did not leave until they made sure the drain was completely clear"

"The men were vry nice and easy to have around. Some of the areas of concern were not treated. There were two men involved, and the man who estimated the job included all that I needed. The other nice man who did the work said it was not possible to raise the lowest part because it was already level, even though 1/2 lower than the adjacent slab. That part had been raised a few years ago and had settled again. So we didn't agree on the work to do. Later the boss disagreed with me for asking for a lower price than the original job. Also, be sure to specify that all areas of outside concrete need to drain to the adjacent yard."

"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!"

"Hedrick and James the team that installed our french drain and painted our walls did an excellent job. They were very efficient,polite and professional even returning on the week-end to finish the work. Mike Bird is very professional and easy to work with. I would recommend this company to anyone."

I met with a friendly and professional (I call it friendly professionalism...VERY important to me!) Josh Sulfridge who spent a couple of hours explaining the different processes and corresponding prices, and who showed me several options on how to best take care of my foundation problems in the most efficient, least expensive manner. He was never pushy and patiently answered all the questions I had.

The job was set to take two days, which it did. The crew arrived promptly each day and worked quickly and efficiently. On the first day, the plan was to dig the trenches for the push piers and then get started on placing them; the crew started as planned. But then it began to rain heavily and they had to stop work on the outside. Instead, they moved to the inside to work on (and finish!) installing the power braces. I didn't realize that they had finished on the inside until they came to tell me before leaving for the day. It may sound silly, but I was very impressed with their ability to "change plans" as needed and according to weather conditions instead of  leaving early because what was "supposed to be worked on" that day could not be done.

Because it had rained, the clay made a mess on the concrete floor in the workshop, and I thought, Oh boy! This is going to be a pain to clean up, but when we did the walk through after everything was finished, the floor had been cleaned spotless. It made me very happy! In fact, the whole clean up was impressive! I was a little worried when I saw the big pile of earth and the holes that had been dug out for the piers, but when all was finished, the holes had been filled, the earth pounded down and the area seeded with grass and covered with hay. The drench train was installed and here too the concrete patio that had been jackhammered, was fixed, smoothed over and level around the drain.

I also checked on the work throughout the two days, and each time the foreman patiently answered any questions I had....I do ask a lot of questions and it is important to me not to be brushed off.

From the very first call to signing off on a job done excellently, everything was dealt with extremely professionally, efficiently and completely satisfactory.

"I used ARS Rescue Rooter and Robert came out to clear the drain. Robert was super friendly and knowledgeable. Made the entire process a piece of cake. I highly recommend them."

"I called American Basement Solutions with issues I was having in my crawl space and they set up a time for someone to come out and look at the issues. Daniel (a family member of the family that ownes the business) called ahead of time and let me know when he was on his way to my home, He was on time and did a thorough investigation of my crawl spaces after which we discussed what needed to be done and various options to accomplish what I wanted. I was provided with a written estimate, insurance information etc. We scheduled the work at a mutually agreed upon time and his men showed up on time and went right to work completing the work on time.
There was a minor issue with some slight damage to the edge of my cedar siding from the removal of the old crawl space entry. I sent Daniel a photo of the damage via text message and he called me within 15 minutes to discussed a course of action to take care of this, We set a time and Daniel personally came out and took care of the issue. I was happy with the work he did.
I had estimates from 2 other companys prior to contacting American Basement Solutions and found American Basement Solutions to be very competitive with their price. I liked that that they were a locally owned family business and found their assement of what needed to be done very thorough. I would not hesitate to use them again and would recommend them to others.
