"The guys that came out to install my egress window were well trained and skilled. They got the job done in less than a day and cleaned up after themselves. The window passed township inspection and it appears as though it will handle water drainage appropriately. The supervisor addressed an issue that arose and resolved it quickly and professionally and to the satisfaction of all parties. I would recommend this company."

"The crawlspace of our house we purchased about a year ago was damp and often had standing water in it.  Because the house is near a lake, the water table is very high and water is not uncommon.  Unfortunately, all the standing water drove the humidity of the house very high to the 60s and 70s year round!
I contacted Stay Dry to give me an estimate along with another provider.  Wayne from Stay Dry provide me with great information about the problem and how it could be solved.  The cost of doing this work is not cheap, but the risk of damage to the structure of our home is what convinced me to move forward.  In the winter, the window would have a great deal of condensation around them which isn't good for them either.  The cost was on par with the other provide I met with, but this solution seemed more complete.
The work took about four days to complete.  Stay Dry sent a great crew of five men, led by Spencer, who made residence in the three foot high crawl space for the next four days.  First they lined the carpet and walls with protective materials.  The entrance to the crawl space was in one of the bedroom, down a hall of white carpeting.  Once lined the work began by clearing out all of the fallen insulation and any other random debris from down below.  Next all of the wires were cleaned up and tidied up.  All the debris had to be carried out in five gallon buckets through the house as there isn't external access to the space.
Next, they dug by hand a 110 feet of trench, lined it with fabric and then stone (stone was carried in a five gallon bucket at a time) and finally the drainage pipe itself.  Once that was complete the entire space was lined with and sealed with a heavy duty liner (think swimming pool liner material).  The crawlspace was unbelievably clean when they were finished.  The liner is white so instead of dark sandy/mud floor, it was white liner.  No more rain boots to go down in the space.  The sumps were installed and set to drain to the exterior of the house.  
The pumps that were installed have a battery back up as well as a system that will text me if there is a problem with the pumps.  It also tells me the amount of water that is pumped out of the space each day.  I am floored by how much it pumps!
When the work was done in January, it was too cold to do the final part of the job which was to foam the rim joists.  The crew came back in April once it warmed up and completed the rest of the work.
Humidity in the house has dropped to the mid-30% range.  The crawl space is actually usable for storage and going down there for wiring or mechanical work is a breeze. Once all of the protective materials were removed from the carpet and walls, everything was spotless.  Everything was in the exact same shape as before the project.
The crew worked incredibly hard in what are not desirable conditions.  The solution did everything I wanted it to do and everything Wayne said it would do.  It is not inexpensive, but for the interior of our house and the overall health of our house, it was well worth it.
While I hope I don't have to ever do this project again, I would use Stay Dry again if I did.

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.

Yes, many services include camera inspections to identify the cause of the blockage. Confirm with your provider.

Yes, pop-up drains commonly get clogged with hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. It is important to know how to properly clean the drain or get professional help to ensure it remains clear and can drain water effectively.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

You should hire a sewer service professional to unclog a main sewer line with tree roots. Tree roots can grow into the main sewer line, and this problem requires a specialized hydro jet, or rooter, that is powerful enough to clear the roots. The tree can also damage the main sewer line, and a professional will need to make repairs or replace the damaged sections. Sewer line replacement costs about $60 to $250 per linear foot.
