Locally owned and operated. 27 years experience in home restoration and structural repairs.

"We recently moved to a 95 yr old home. We were told we had a dry basement when in fact we did not. We looked in to basement waterproofing with a couple different companies but the scope of the work and the cost didn’t feel like the right solution. We had Don come out and he was very knowledgeable, professional and very courteous. He recommended some things that the other companies did not. He actually talked us out of mor expensive fixes. He said he believes in starting with the least intrusive, least expensive options first. His solutions worked for us. We would 10/10 recommend Don and his crew at Foundation Doctors LLC."

We are a small family owned business, with 3 employees. We do not use sub-contractors. We are Licensed to do plumbing in Indiana. License # available upon request. We charge a $50 service call, and are competitive with or will beat other contractors prices. We will waive the $50 service for Angie's List members if we do the repair, if we do not do the job then we can not waive the service call but will reduce it to $25 for members! I promise we will match or beat any competitive quote in writing.

"Terry and Evan did a great job. The installation was done neatly and the disruption to our household was minimal. Both the work crew and the office personnel were nothing but professional. I had some non-typical ways that I wanted a few things done and they worked with me to achieve the best outcome. The equipment they specified is top notch and working great. My delay in writing this review was only because weather required that we wait to have the project finished until they could get on the roof safely."

Additional address - PO Box 3302 Muncie IN 47307.

"We needed someone in a pinch to get our well treated and a riser pipe installed to be able to sell our house. We called Brummets and he sent guys out there to try and locate the well which they finally did after 3 weeks of digging 5+ holes in our yard and destroying it. Also our realtor had to threaten them twice just to get them to come back and get the job done. The riser pipe wasn't even installed straight because they (eyeballed it). When all was said and done, even with a $2,500 "discount" he still charged us $1,800 OVER any other any other reputable local plumber's HIGHEST quote. Our fault I guess for not getting a quote to begin with from a family friend. When all was said and done he was demanding payment 2 days after the job was finished."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A mini excavator can dig between 5 and 11 feet deep, depending on the type and size of the mini excavator. Mini hydraulic excavators are more powerful and can reach deeper into the earth, but electric models have a more limited range. Mini excavators over two tons in size are also more powerful and able to dig as deep as 11 feet.

Using a drill to bore holes in the stump's center speeds up the process, whatever method you use. If you don’t have a drill, you can still chainsaw or chisel the stump to make it hollow; it will just take more elbow grease and time. Steer clear of burning the stump to hollow it if you can’t drill some holes in it first. Otherwise, getting it to light, stay lit, and burn right through will be a challenge.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.
