We first met with Ken who gave us a very detailed estimate which involved totally tearing out what had been completed by the previous homeowner and reconfiguring the space. We had daily communication with the project manager and were kept up to date on what would be happening on a daily basis. We enjoyed working with Jerry the project manager and Chad who did all of the tear out and carpentry work. We ran into several issues with drains that were hidden by walls, stairs and cabinetry that required drilling into existing concrete to relocated the drains properly. Throughout the process we were kept up to date and GuyCo made sure the dust was mainly contained to the basement. I appreciated the fact that everyone from staff to trades were very respectful of our space and took great care to keep the areas clean. I worked with Melissa on all selections and she was very knowledgeable and helped me make choices on everything from flooring to fixtures. Any issues that came up were handled promptly and professionally. We could not be more pleased with our new basement. We highly recommend GuyCo for any and all remodeling needs.

Ray's had been recommended by a friend and we asked him to service our system, which had not been serviced in many years. Prior to the visit, we had called Ray to inquire as to cost, how the process worked and to set up an appointment. Ray was very generous with his time, both on the phone and onsite. On the phone, in response to my questions, he spent some time discussing the "care and feeding" of a septic system (do's and don'ts) and onsite he took the time to help us diagnose a leaking toilet (we could see water draining into the tank when no draining water had been expected). Courteous and polite. Just a great job. Hope to have him back for maintenance in 5 years.

The were to install the multi-step system which includes a sub floor drainage system, adding a sump, add an e-z breathe ventilation system as well as repairing cracks to the walls and waterproofing the exterior of the basement walls. This requires them to dig down around the perimeter of the home to inspect the walls and apply a waterproofing agent as well as adding drain tiles in gravel. This was all completed according to the project manager, Nic Staak. This is a lake home in northern Indiana and we live 2 hours south. Mid March I received a call from our landscaper who was very upset to find the following when he came to the home: -front door was left ajar(presumably for about 4 weeks) -piles of debris and gravel were left in driveway and around the house -trash(pop bottles etc) and shovels were left in the yard -the landscaping that I was assured would suffer minimal damage was destroyed -stones and retaining walls were not replaced after dismantled and siding was damaged -a sprinkler head from the irrigation was snapped off -the interior of the home was covered in dust and grime from them carrying buckets of broken cement up from the basemen -new drainage pvc pipe exiting from home was not buried adequately and was sticking out about 2 feet over our neighbor's yard to discharge on their property -water was in the basement because it was still leaking I contacted Everdry on March 20 to report on the situation discovered and to send them photographs that I had the landscaper take of the damage and condition of my home. They seemed very concerned at first and I immediately heard back from Nic Staak, the project manager. The next day when I did not hear back from them, I contacted them again to inquire about what the solution would be. I was told that I would hear from the project manager and I also requested to leave a message for the owner, Brent Oribello, to call me back. Nic called me and informed me he would not get a chance to get to my house until 3/24. On 3/24, Nic called to tell me that he cleaned up what he could and also met my landscaper at the property to discuss what all had been damaged. Nic informed me of the following: -they would return to waterproof the wall that was still leaking, it hadn't been waterproofed because we didn't have the water heater and other equipment moved out of one corner although no one informed us that we were responsible for moving this equipment prior to the job. -I should inform them in the spring when plants come up of what I have lost -damaged siding would be repaired -the exterior of the home still needed waterproofing on the same wall as the one leaking on the interior but this would not occur until mid June because they were booked out. This is in spite of the fact that it is an incomplete job, not a new job or a warranty call. On 4/11, Shawn(a different project manager) came to the house to finish waterproofing the rest of the basement on the interior. Upon completion, he contacted me to inform me that the wall was in pretty bad shape and would probably need to be replaced because it was crumbling. I voiced my frustration at being told that they were not able to make my basement waterproof. After all, the reason I contacted them in the first place is because we could stand and watch water pour down this particular wall whenever it rained or the irrigation ran. It was our sole reason for contacting them to begin with. I was also notified by the landscaper that they had broken off a sprinkler head to the irrigation system while working on the waterproofing and he is now concerned that they may have cut the irrigation lines as well. This will not surface until we start up the irrigation system later this spring. I was told by Shawn that he would relay my concerns to Nic and that I should wait to hear from him. That was 4/11. On 4/21, I had still not heard from Nic so I attempted to contact Everdry. I called at 8am and left a message that I wanted to speak with Nic and I also called Nic and left a voicemail message. At noon I contacted Everdry again and when I explained the situation, the person answering the phone was short with me but agreed to relay the message and I asked to again leave a message on the owner's voicemail. She again was short and frankly, impolite but transferred me and I left my third message asking for the owner, Brent Oribello, to contact me to discuss the situation. To this date, I have never had any communication with the owner of the company. Also, I attempted to find a corporate headquarters for the company because it is a franchise. I called several different numbers including one given to my by Ft. Wayne Everdry and was told each was not corporate and they couldn't help me find that. I then called Everdry Ft. Wayne back and was told that the owner was in Ohio at the headquarters doing training and I should call Ohio State Waterproofing because that was their corporate company. I had already contacted them earlier and told they were not associated with Everdry. I called again Ohio State Waterproofing and was told that there was no one there doing training and they were not associated with Everdry, they do not franchise and 'I'm sorry ma'am but it appears that someone in Fort. Wayne is trying to give you the run around'. To date, I have never been able to find a corporate headquarters to voice my frustration and to get help with a resolution. When I did hear from Nic on 4/21, he told me that I must have misunderstood Shawn about the wall because it does not need to be replaced. This is in spite of a detailed conversation with Shawn about how upset I was that we weren't told this from the beginning because we would not have hired them to waterproof our basement if it wasn't possible to do. I even discussed with Shawn that I should probably call a contractor to look at the wall. The same conversation was relayed to me by Brandon, the landscaper who was told the same thing by Shawn. I am not sure who to believe about the integrity of my wall now. I've had two people in charge give me different stories about the condition of the wall. Nic plans to return at another date to spray a concrete hardener on the wall and apply durashield to it. I'm concerned with the solution because I'm questioning the true condition of the wall at this point. Nic has stated that they will reimburse us for damage to the sprinkler system when we find out it's status. He has also said that he will pay for a professional cleaning to the interior due to the amount of dust and dirt. I have found this to be an extremely upsetting and disappointing process. I feel that we were taken advantage of because we were not able to be at the lake during the work. I'm not even sure anymore if they did all they said they were going to do and properly after the way my personal property was treated and the way it was left. Needless to say, this is not the experience I expected from the company and the end result at this point is a leaking basement with a questionable wall and incomplete work on the part of Everdry with really no date for completion. At this point I fear I will have to start commuting two hours each way just to supervise the work myself and will need to get at least a second opinion from someone who knows about properly water proofing a basement.

"Chance was great. He installed our 3-stage water filtration system (US Water sediment, carbon, and Pulsar UV) with an existing softener, a new water heater, and fixed two shower leaks (one drain, one valve). In all of these, he efficiently evaluated each system and made the necessary updates. This was working with a plumbing system originally installed in the 1980s. Fair pricing, and very professional.

FAQs for french drain service projects in Rome City, IN
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
