Q: How do I know if my basement walls are suitable for finishing?

• <div><p>To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. </p><p>Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.</p></div>

Q: What causes a basement to smell musty?

• <div><p>Mold and mildew are the things in basements that actually cause the musty odors, but moisture is the underlying issue that causes mold and mildew growth. Addressing moisture and water problems and then removing materials that are moldy are some of the best ways to get rid of the musty odors. Preventive measures after that&mdash;like installing air fresheners and a dehumidifier&mdash;can help keep musty odors from returning.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a channel drain and a French drain?

• <div><p>While both a channel drain and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-french-drain.htm">French drain</a> serve a similar purpose, a French drain is designed to prevent groundwater from causing flooding issues. This type of drain system goes underneath the soil and is completely surrounded by soil and rock. A channel drain, also called a trench drain, removes surface water before it ever enters the ground&mdash;hence the concrete and above-ground installation method.</p></div>

Q: Do drainage installations come with warranties?

• <div><p>Yes, many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.</p></div>

Q: Can you damage a drain with a snake?

• <div><p>In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it&rsquo;s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you&rsquo;re snaking a toilet drain. If you&rsquo;re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.</p></div>

Wonderful people to work with. The E-Z Breathe has made such a difference in the way the basement smells and feels. My basement was very stubborn and they had to return 3 times to put more runs in. Hard working men and very professional and they got the job done. Very well pleased. Please...

It went very well. I had water standing in my basement. They came in and ran drainage inside and outside the basement walls. My basement has been dry ever since.

In general, everything went well - until I discovered a leak from one of the newly installed valves. It was replaced the same day I called, but was told it had not been installed properly the first time. Still, they made it right, but it was an inconvenience to have to work around their schedule...

We had a door and a window ruined by water damage afterwards because the roof leaked. They didn't put wood under the metal roof when they installed it, so this caused the leaking. When we contacted the company to have our problem resolved and fixed, they said it wasn't their problem and have...
