I originally put in a request with Home Depot for same day service, but after they quoted me 1300 dollars to install a 600 dollar water heater I had to decline. So I purchased a big deal via Angie's List and received a phone call from Cregger not more than an hour later to schedule my water heater installation. Thankfully, they were able to add me on that day around 5pm. The technician, Kevin Jacobs, arrived on time and had the old one out and the new one installed in a little over one hour. He took care not to make a mess or damage the walls when transporting the tanks up and down the basement stairs. No leaks, no issues a week and a half later, very satisfied with the on site service, and office staff of Cregger Plumbing. Thank you for a job well done.

The shower was a three-piece unit. It was not fastened well to the studs and itself. The seams at each joint were pulling apart. The floor also cracked in spots and leaked into our basement. Jeff Griffin, the owner, came out to our house. He is the one who replaced the shower stall under warranty. However, the newest stall (number two of two) has cracked in the floor also! Other Home-Improvement people say the reason these stall are cracking...not being installed correctly! As of right now, Griffin said he can get another stall under warranty. But, would have to charge us for cost of labor. We both think the whole job should be covered by Jeff Griffin, he installed it. He should absorb the whole cost again, he's the owner of the Company!

I had a leak in the pipe leading from my home out to the septic tank. Horrible raw sewage was seeping down the wall underneath the pipe and leaked onto the floor and underneath the carpet. Ed was quickly able to see what the problem was and what was causing it. He also said because it was INSIDE the house, that it was the domain of a plumber to repair the problem. If the problem was outside, then it would have been a septic issue. I am still hopeful that all is well with my septic system and there are no problems with THAT. So, on with my story. On an unbelievably freezing cold day (even for Michigan), Ed and his two helpers were outside digging through the snow and frozen ground to solve my problem. Ed went above and beyond to help me. He left me his cell phone number so that the plumber could speak with him directly and get a further diagnosis of the problem. This leak was a complicated and troublesome type of problem to fix because a lot of the problem was not visible through the wall. In other words, the pipe had to be cut away and removed and looked into before further diagnosis of the causes of the leak could be figured out. Ed made recommendations and provided me with a phone number for a plumber that he had personal knowledge of. I could tell that Ed genuinely cared about how stressed out I was and also that he saw that the problem was a serious emergency. Ed even followed up with me the next day on his own time to see if I had been able to contact the plumber! He actually provided me with another phone number for the plumber since I had not been able to track down a plumber that could come out on short notice. But get this: I actually had the plumber that I DID find (since it turns out that Ed's plumber was on another job and just was not available) call Ed and have him talk to him and describe the problem so that the plumber was not just going in there "blind" without knowing what he was getting into. AND Ed was at a sports activity with one of his children and STILL took the time to talk to the plumber and be helpful about my problem! So, guess what? If I ever (God forbid) have any type of septic issue again, I will be calling King Septic Company. Professional, prompt, courteous and KIND. Thanks so much, Mr. Ed Bugis! I appreciate your kindness during a difficult and stressful time. There is still basement cleanup to do and I have to talk to my insurance company, but at least the leak is fixed now and there is no more sewage and/or water leaking into my basement.

He came out the next day and completed the install of the dishwasher, making sure it was level and testing operation,. He is very knowledgeable about how to do things the correct way, and he does everything exactly right. He even fixed an electric outlet box that had been wired by someone else in the past and they had left bare wires that could have touched the metal outlet box.

"They repaired my basement leak, but left me with another nightmare, when they completed the project, they left me with another nightmare outside problem. My backyard is completely flooded and has flowed into my neighbor's yard. When the job was completed I asked about the continuous water flow and was told give it a few days and you'll be okay. Well I gave it a week and my backyard is submerged under water, I can't go outside to use it, can't cut grass cause it's so soggy. I called for two weeks with no response, only the operator telling me that I was on high priority? Finally I get a call from Bruce and he asked if I could take pictures of my problem, I did and he called back shortly and said that's it was my problem and that they only do basement repairs, and that I need someone to come out and fix that, but I told him I didn't have that problem before he fixed my basement. And that they don't access outside of the home, and couldn't gage what would happen after the repair. He then said from the pictures I probably had hard soil and that might be my problem for the water staying up top, hard to believe for me but that was his answer, wasn't their issue, end of conversation. Well they repaired my basement and transferred it to my backyard, thanks Foundation System of Michigan!"

"Troy and his team were so wonderful throughout this entire process! Troy came out over a year ago to quote - he spent nearly 4 hours on my property making sure that he understood exactly what was going on with each of my buildings. He took several pictures and gave a very estimate. I had several other companies come out to provide quotes & they just simply weren't as thorough or kind. Troy continued to follow up and once we were able to budget for the project, he came out and made sure nothing had changed.

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Gaines, MI
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
