"I have an older home with small bathrooms. We were interested in replacing a tub/shower with a walk-in shower. We wanted something simple and affordable. Jalen took measurements and listened to what we wanted. He was in constant contact throughout the process of choosing what we wanted and even offered ideas and suggestions for things we didn’t know we wanted. He was always available for any questions we had. They removed the old tub/shower and installed the walk-in shower in one day and came back the next morning to apply the sealant. They did an excellent job and we couldn’t be happier with the results."

"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."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.

Installing a sump pump takes a bit of know-how, but it is possible to do it yourself. You’ll need to familiarize yourself with details like where sump pump water goes to avoid creating new flooding risks. If you’re doing the work yourself, it’s recommended to bring in a pro for a quick inspection afterward so you can be sure your home is protected from any water damage concerns.

Yes, professionals ensure proper grading and drainage to prevent water pooling.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

No, you can’t drain your sump pump into your home’s sewer system. In fact, it’s against the law in many places because dumping extra water into a municipal water system can disrupt or overwhelm the treatment process. And for similar reasons, you shouldn’t discharge a sump pump into your septic system, either.
