"Do NOT use Surgi’s AC (Southern Air)!! They are crooks and totally wasted my time and I’m still waiting for them to refund my money. Eddie gave me a quote to move my condenser, $3763 but I could get a $513 “discount” for getting a membership with them ($239 for 2 AC PM’s a year) which came out to $3249. So I paid $239 to get membership and then they send a new quote and voila! No discount. They also charged me $89 for “service call” to come give me estimate to do work which they didn’t tell me about when I called. (My unit wasn’t broken, I just wanted it relocated in my yard.) Then no one will return my calls for two days!!! I finally got through to a manager (“we do honor our quotes, we just had a glitch in the system”) and I should be getting a refund after almost a week and half a dozen unanswered calls. Stay away!"

"My husband and I highly recommend Bob's Plumbing. Frank and his team, Mike & Ryan were terrific. We needed to replace our ancient water heater, and it was a very tricky job! We were impressed with their problem solving capabilities. They really do take pride in their work and took the extra time to do the job properly. Mike also rebuilt the flapper system in our toilet. Another company had installed the system improperly, and it had been running intermittently ever since. Now the toilet is quiet and works great, and with the high-quality Rheem water heater they installed, we never run out of hot water. We will be using and recommending Bob's Plumbing from now on. Thank you all again for the great job!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Using filter fabric is highly recommended because it helps prevent debris and sediment from clogging the drain. It’s best to use a non-woven geotextile landscape fabric for your French drain because it is designed to allow water to flow through but not soil particles and other debris. It’s durable and long-lasting, which is why it’s the top choice for French drains.

The process is different for each type of drainage system. But no matter your drainage system type, you’ll have to start by digging a hole or trench. To install an effective French drain, for example, you’ll need to dig a trench, line it with filter fabric, pour gravel inside, hook up pipe connections, set the pipe, and cover it with gravel.

You can use shovels or rent a trencher, depending on the size of the trench or hole you’re digging. You generally don’t need a permit from the city to install a drainage system on your own property, but if the work involves changing a structure or electrical work, contact your municipality to check the requirements.

No, some window wells aren’t connected to drainage systems and instead are partially filled with gravel or crushed stone. In that case, water entering the well will drip down through the stone and disperse into the soil below. Window well drains might be required in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil—the lack of them could lead to foundation damage without a proper drainage system.

If you are dealing with shallow water issues, a French drain may be used with rocks and no pipe. However, for areas that experience large amounts of water or heavy rainfall, you should use a corrugated or PVC pipe in the French drain. The pipe helps redirect and distribute the water effectively to another area, which can help prevent pooling water in your lawn and around your home.

If your basement often leaks after heavy rain, it’s probably caused by hydrostatic pressure. When the ground is saturated with water, it can put pressure on the exterior of your home’s foundation, causing cracks in the basement wall and pushing water through any existing weak spots. Over time, hydrostatic pressure can cause structural damage to your home.
