"We had Everdry waterproof our basement 10 years ago in a 100+ year old home.  We have never had a problem with water or dampness in the basement.  If I ever need waterproofing services again, I will definitely call Everdry first.  We couldn't be more happy with the end result.

"I recently purchased a house in Luckey, OH which has a basement waterproofed by EverDry. This was a huge selling feature as I have always hated basements. Six months later and I haven't seen a drop of water in the basement. Not only is waterproofing an investment for while you're in your house but also for resell."

"We had a french drain and a sump pump put in. The basement was never quite dry after they put the French drain. We called to complain and they sent out the repair man. I said yes the basement was damp before but only when it rained, and now that was damp all the time. I tried to explain to him that the basement was only wet when we a had major rain fall out side. He said that we could purchase a $2100 dehumidifier. When we complained about that. He told us his boss said that we could purchase it for a have it for $1800 and there was a service fee I think around $150. We said we where not going to pay a service fee. In the spring when it raining a lot we started getting water coming through the floor. They came out again and told us to add feeder lines or paint the floor with this special water proof paint. So we painted it. Once again after one of the heavy rains water came up threw the floor. Maybe more work needs to be done they should had said that before they did the job. We trusted the quote they gave us. We trusted what they told us, about what needed to be done to water proof the basement. They where not the least cheapest quote we had or the most expensive."

"Russ Hastings is the owner of the business. We had a small leak in a crack that had been repaired previously by Concrete Waterproofing Solutions several years back. The crack reopened. Also we had some other cracks that left us concerned because we live overseas and come back only occasionally. Because we were back for the holidays, we had a very short timeline to inspect and repair, if needed. I explained this to Russ and he made it a point to come out ASAP. He inspected the cracks and gave good information on why they had happened and made us feel much more comfortable that there was not a major problem, but more of a normal occurrence. Russ inspected and made note of which cracks we needed to be concerned about and which we're more superficial and non structural. We repaired 4 total cracks and reinforced one corner although it was likely not needed. When a provider of materials was not open for the holidays, Russ called friends to obtain needed materials. His team worked late to accommodate my schedule and Russ will come back to check that all repairs are as planned. The cost was roughly the same as other quotes. As a note, the prior repair company noted above apparently did not even fill the crack as the quoted. When we ground off the top layer of epoxy, it was clear that the crack was never filled. Unfortunately this company no longer exists, but I hear their owner does under another name. Be careful! We recommend Russ and Precision Foundation Systems. He warrants work and it is transferable. Likewise, he made sure to pass on warranties from the manufacturers of the materials used.

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

There are several common signs that your main sewer line may be clogged. Key indicators include multiple fixtures in your home draining slowly, gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilets, and water backing up into showers, sinks, or toilets. You might also notice water backing up from the plumbing system's drain cleanout, water in your basement drain, or unexplained wet patches on your lawn. Foul odors, such as the smell of raw sewage or rotten eggs, are another common symptom. The most reliable way to confirm a main sewer line clog is to hire a professional plumber to perform a camera inspection.

To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load.

A small amount of diluted bleach is okay to pour down a garbage disposal. As part of your weekly garbage disposal maintenance, use 1 teaspoon of bleach with your concoction of ice cubes and lemon peels. Turn on the disposal and run the water until the blades chop up the ice cubes.

Any more bleach in your disposal can harden oils and greases in your drain, which can cause problems. Always wear gloves when working with bleach, and know that you really don’t need bleach at all—vinegar, baking soda, salt, and ice should do the trick.

You may have a clogged gutter. Downspouts can also clog if your gutter collects too much debris. Hire a professional gutter cleaner, and if you still have problems, install a gutter guard (which prevents debris from entering your gutter system) and a downspout extension (which helps drain water further away from your foundation, so it doesn't pool near your house). Follow these tips to keep your gutter downspouts clean.

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.
