"I found Apex Plumbing online without a referral, after being warned by several friends to NOT use any of the larger, well-known plumbing companies they'd hired. Each had their own horror story: Inflated charges, unnecessary work done or needless follow up visits, poor customer service. I searched online and found Apex Plumbing, a company I'd never heard of, but it had 15 of 15 stellar reviews, so I called for an estimate. Apex (Quin Derouen) promptly returned my call, asked the right questions, rendering an accurate diagnosis, gave an accurate, ballpark estimate, then set the appointment for the following day (my request): It was a 1-minute conversation, short and to the point. Quin texted the following day to confirm the appointment, without being asked, then made a follow up courtesy call, letting me know he was on his way. Again, WITHOUT MY HAVING TO ASK. When he showed up (on the dot), he was polite, respectful and professional, and wasted no time in getting to work. Quin got the job done fast, replacing an old leaky drain pipe for my washing machine. He then said he wanted to run a quick wash cycle, so that we both knew the problem had been fixed to my satisfaction before he left. So I did (run a wash), and everything worked great! Apex Plumbing gets it done right the first time, and you can rely on Quin to charge a fair, reasonable price. He's reliable, competent and truly customer-service oriented. Highly recommend."

"This job was done exceptionally well. The crew worked from sunup to sunset. They were very meticulous, professional, and courteous. We're halfway through the stages of remodel. The front entry and carport are getting ready to be updated. The columns are to be replaced and a retaining rock wall will be installed. I'm confident that these jobs will be performed at the same level of professionalism. Ed is always busy, so if he needs to schedule you for the job instead of getting to you immediately, i know the wait will be worth your while. Stay patient because he's worth it! I will review the future jobs as soon as they are completed!

Foundation Drain Installation FAQs, answered by experts

A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.

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.

Basement toilets don’t always need a pump. However, it is the most common setup because plumbing systems use gravity to move waste away from the home. Basement toilets often sit below the home’s main sewage system, and installing a sewage ejector pump pushes the wastewater and sewage up to the main sewer line. Alternatively, you can use an upflush or macerator toilet that breaks down the waste and pushes it straight to the main sewer line rather than via a sewer line from the bathroom.

A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.

Not all window wells have a formal drain, but they all require a method for water to flow away from the window. Some wells are connected to an interior or exterior drain tile, which is the most effective solution. Others rely on a deep layer of gravel or crushed stone that allows water to filter down into the soil.

However, if a window well lacks a proper drainage system, it can lead to basement seepage, costly water damage, mold growth, and potential foundation damage. This is especially true in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil.

If your window well doesn't have a drain or is not draining quickly enough, you have a few options. For gravel-based systems, the stone may have compacted and needs to be improved. For a more robust solution, you can hire a plumber or window installer to connect the well to a drainage system. This can also be a DIY project using a shovel or auger.
