"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

It is okay to use a drain auger on a toilet, just make sure you are using the correct tip size. The auger is a plumbing snake with a protective sleeve to protect the porcelain toilet bowl from getting scratched. Using too large of an auger can cause the snake to loop back and damage the inside of the drain and plumbing.

While there is no specific “best” method to clear hair out of a drain, several options work well. Using a combination of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve the hair clog is a great and easy way to help clear the drain. Drain snakes are also effective for more severe clog buildups. 

If your washing machine drain is clogged, that isn’t a good sign. Unlike toilet drains or kitchen sink drains, there isn’t matter that is easily broken up with a plumbing snake, and more care is required. If you’re in an old house or have mineral-rich water, there could be a buildup inside the pipe. Either way, if the blockage isn’t obvious and doesn’t dislodge with a snake, you need to call a pro—otherwise, you risk damaging integral plumbing.

To clean gunk out of a sink drain, pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar. The two will react chemically; let them fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with boiling water. Repeat these steps if necessary for particularly dirty sink drains, and consider a drain snake if there are clogs.

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary.
