"KCS did a great job installing an egress window in my basement. They communicated well from the day of the sale until completion of the project. All workers were respectful and efficient. When equipment issues caused a delay in finishing on Friday afternoon, a crew came on Saturday and completed the work. They seeded the area that was dug up by equipment and put straw over it, leaving everything neat and uncluttered. I recommend them highly!!"

"Best WP dug out our foundation all the way down, found the problem, documented it with photos for me because I was out of town and solved it. I'm an engineer and not easy to please but they did everything they said they would and more. Their work ethic and service was excellent. This is a good company!"

"Coaty & Crew did an outstanding job on our outdoor space and I can't recommend them enough. We had them pour a patio and install a French drain, and the results exceeded our expectations. The crew was hardworking and got everything done efficiently without cutting corners on quality. What really stood out was the owner — friendly, responsive, and clearly knows their stuff. Any questions we had were answered quickly and thoroughly, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. On top of all that, the pricing was very reasonable for the level of work involved. If you're looking for a contractor who combines quality craftsmanship with great customer service at a fair price, look no further than Coaty & Crew. We're extremely happy with the outcome!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

No. Sump pumps have different capacities, which refers to the volume of water that they can remove. They also come in various horsepower ratings, which measure the size of the pump’s motor. For many homes, 1/3 horsepower is enough. But if you live in an area that floods often, you might need a more powerful model.

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

The least expensive basement waterproofing methods include grading soil away from your home, installing downspout extenders on your gutter system, and applying a waterproof paint on the interior of the foundation walls. Installing a French drain is a relatively inexpensive method if you do the work yourself, although it’s labor-intensive and can be challenging to install properly.

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.
