I’m the man behind Hard Stop Handyman — “Your last call for repairs.”\n\nI spent 15 years in the military, where doing the job right the first time wasn’t optional — it was expected. I’ve carried that same standard into every home I work on.\n\nI don’t cut corners. I don’t leave jobs halfway done. And I don’t believe in temporary fixes.\n\nWhen I show up, the goal is simple: fix it once so you don’t have to deal with it again.\n\nIf you’re tired of chasing unreliable contractors or redoing the same repairs over and over, I’m your last call.\n

"Home Advisor is not User Friendly to do initial reviews prior to the work being done. THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN STARTED YET ON THIS REVIEW. I RATE Advance Restoration a 5 STAR INITIALLY based on their communication and responsiveness, and will add/delete to this review once the work has been completed. Marty has been great, so far! Discharge may cost more, and I will evaluate in detail after the work is done. I am an older senior and my husband is 18 years older than me. Since I am more familiar with houses, issues and know how to ask many questions, I handle issues that arise. When I saw a little water weeping into our unfinished basement concrete block and onto the floor a little, I decided to call and get estimates for waterproofing companies. Our home is a ranch built in 1968. I was looking for bids for a partial system and open to recommendations for our basement floor as our full south wall and 2 feet on either side are done already. Several from Angie's list responded quickly within 1 or 2 days. Five or six, I believe, were interested. Two were unknown to me and not considered. I received estimates from 2 well-known bigger companies, 2 bids from better known (I think) companies, and 1 bid from an individual. One of those, though, the inspector was sick, so it took 3 business days (and a weekend) to receive an estimate. The company that I chose and impressed me through Angie's (Pop-List Company) was Marty of Advanced Restoration Waterproofing, who responded same day. We also communicated the next day, and he came out the following day. Marty listened to me, and we discussed our immediate needs, not more or less. He spent a lot of time with me. On the third after after contacting Angie's List, he gave me an email proposal, their company pledges, Certificate of Liability, and many references. I called a couple of them. One of them said that two others in his neighborhood used Advanced Restoration and were very happy. Those I called were happy customers. Once I received his proposal, and I had my wits more in line to concentrate on all the information that I had received, I reviewed his proposal later. Marty, Advanced Restoration was so responsive to my questions, as another I was interested in. But, Marty is confident in what his company does, and he recommended I call Mike Bird, the owner, who would explain any questions to me, and for me to go to their website to review photos, etc. OMGosh, they have so many pictures on there, you surely will find all the things you want to see about the job they are going to do for you! I could not find those kinds of pictures on some other companies websites! He priced us on 25 lineal feet of french drain, sump pump (5 year ltd. warranty) with a battery backup, and sump pit basin with up to 15-20 feet discharge piping, etc. Well, after looking at pictures and several questions, he offered to come out again, and we discussed everything in detail and to answers any remaining questions, and discharge options. While we were talking I decided that I needed more lineal feet. Marty revised the proposal, the price was good, I signed a contract and paid deposit to them to do the work. Based on Marty and Advanced Restoration's RESPONSIVENESS and COMMUNICATION, I would give them a Five (5) Star rating.. Well, that is it for this beginning review. I will have to update this review once the project is done."

"Excellent. This experience was the best I have had hiring outside help. After it was installed, I had some concerns and asked Aaron to come by. He came over on a Friday evening and to my surprise, agreed and quickly went above and beyond to remedy the situation. He was understanding and agreed with my concerns. Later I was worried about a sound I was hearing coming from the sump pump. He came up on a Sunday and turned out it was my old pump (not the new one they had installed) that was making the noise. He removed it and clearly explained why it was making the noise. The perimeter drain, pump, and dry well that they installed have all worked great since the installation, which was nearly 9 months ago now. It was very clear making sure a job was completed well and with integrity was important to him. It was comforting to know I was working with a company who valued customer service and doing a job well. Their prices were more reasonable than the 3 other companies I had estimates from. I would definitely use them if needed in the future."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

A washing machine should drain the water used during its cycle through a drainpipe and out through the house’s plumbing. This is the same plumbing that sinks and shower drains run to, and if the U-bend is installed correctly, it shouldn’t smell. The total drainage from the house is then integrated into the city sewer system or, if you’re in the country, dispersed into a septic tank.

There are many things that could cause your basement floor drain to back up. One significant cause of a drainage backup is flushing non-flushable items, such as wipes, paper towels, and facial tissue. Other causes of a backed-up basement floor drain include tree roots impeding the drain pipe or an accumulation of hair, oil, and grease. 

Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it’s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they’re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.

It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.
