Mark, a former Maytag repairman, is a cheeful, efficient person. His price is much less than the $300 warranty Maytag offered after much back and forth. Plus I would've had to pay for a visit anyway. I can't believe a three-year old fridge would leak in the first place., so I'd better put Mark on speed dial!

I discovered a leak through a water spot on my dining room ceiling. When David arrived he told me exactly what he was going to do and what he needed to do to discover the leak. Well, after a short time we knew it was coming from upstairs but we couldn't re-create the leak - he tried everything - even getting in the shower, while it was running, to try and compress the floor to see if it was the drain. Since we couldn't figure it out, I didn't want to hold him as he had other jobs to do so when I asked him how much I owed him, he said "just give me a few bucks for gas money". Well a week later it started leaking again and I was traveling and my wife was home. I called David from the road and the very next day he was there. He called me and told me he needed to go in the closet wall to get to the pipe leading to the temperature control unit. After I apologized for the mess in the closet - he located a pin-hole sized leak in the bend in the copper pipe he was able to repair it and I don't think all of that took him an hour. I have called David for a number of other issues as well as referred him to colleagues of mine and he has been responsive and done a great job. Thanks Dave.

I contacted Mark because our 3-year old fridge was leaking a fairly large puddle about once a week. All efforts to fix it ourselves didn't work. Mark answered the phone on the first call and we arranged an appointment. He showed up exactly on time, found the problem immediately and told me he...

"Signed contract on May 8 for deck build.On May 12 rep came to my office to collect deposit of apprx $13,000. He said project team meeting on Wed & would update me then on start date etc. On Fri May 16 I had to reach out to him. He wrote the team had met & materials were ordered. An hour later he wrote back that he was misinformed & that his boss was going to call me next week. Despite this, dep check cashed. On Mon 5. 20 rep wrote back that they had forgotten certain costs & to proceed it would be $8,000 more. Not a typo. $8,000 more. No apology. Ridiculous, contract rescinded. I wrote that he could return my deposit at my office just as he had collected it. On Wednesday the 21st I got a text from "Tom," presumably the owner/boss, saying he would "drop a check in the mail" to my address. Today is May 30th, Friday, and still no check. Check at a minimum should have been overnighted. They owe me interest not to mention the deposit to hire a contractor who will honor contract. Bad."

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts
Inspect regularly for clogs, clean drain lines, and ensure grading directs water away from the foundation.
Yes, many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.
While both a channel drain and a French drain serve a similar purpose, a French drain is designed to prevent groundwater from causing flooding issues. This type of drain system goes underneath the soil and is completely surrounded by soil and rock. A channel drain, also called a trench drain, removes surface water before it ever enters the ground—hence the concrete and above-ground installation method.
It depends on what caused your basement flooding, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don’t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately.
You may have to dig out drain valves if they are buried under dirt. This method isn’t ideal, and it increases the chance of clogs and damage. Ideally, a drip irrigation system buries drain valves in a gravel pocket so they are easier to access and better-protected. If you have trouble accessing drain valves, hire a sprinkler professional to find them safely and efficiently.
