"I would highly recommend JCT solutions. We had a room replastered and a new attic access installed. JCT were great at communicating from the beginning and throughout the project. Mark is professional and they are reasonably priced. The plastering team were efficient, worked well together and cleaned up after the project was completed. We are really happy with the end result and would work with Mark and JCT solutions again! Thank you for making our spare room usable again!!"

"We hire them to remove and put in a new roof, and they were extremely prompt. We spoke with Chris, the owner of the company and working with him found the type of roof we wanted along with storm gutters, we set a date for his crew for the following week. They came in with their crew removed the old roof and installed the new one, the work was all done in two days, along with cleanup. We are extremely pleased with the professionals of this roofing company. We're planning in the near future to use them to put in possibly storm drain covers. We wanted to wait to write this review after the first rain. We had the work done back in February 2020."

"I had an emergency problem discovering contaminated bacteria in our well water. NO WELL WATER! The pump house that was here when we moved in was derelict and way to small. Had to scramble to get a new pump house foundation poured. Interviewed three recommended contractors on a Wednesday. Traylor's made emergency site visit to my house same day. Son Joe and his dad Sonny are business partners, and company is a licensed general contractor. They really felt my emergency need and told me that they were rearranging Friday so they could get my slab poured within 48 hours. Came out Friday morning at 5 AM. By 2 pm, slab was poured. I furnished rebar which they used in spread footing reinforcement and made a 1' x 1' grid of rebar in lieu of welded wire fabric. They did everything I asked. Excavation, formwork, rebar placement, and concrete pour and surface finish work were all very professional. They answered every question I had. They offered suggestions to benefit me. Their price was competitive - not lowest - not highest. I put a happy face on the check I gave them."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, many people choose to bury their sump pump discharge pipes. When you leave the pipe visible in your yard, you might trip over it or accidentally damage it with your lawn mower. Plus, from an aesthetic perspective, hiding the discharge line underground looks nicer than leaving it out in the open. Before burying a sump pump pipe, review your local building codes to make sure your installation is compliant.

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.

Signs include persistent dampness, mold or mildew presence, musty odors, and visible water stains. If any of these occur, it is advisable to contact a professional for an inspection.

Ideally, your sump pump discharge should run down a natural downhill slope 10 to 20 feet away from your home’s foundation. However, if your property is naturally flat, that might not be an option. Instead, you may be able to discharge it into a neighborhood storm drain or a nearby creek or pond. If that’s not possible, consider burying it underground.

The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in. 

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
