"HomeSpec did a fantastic job!! The initial visit was to assess and quote the cost. Everything was explained in excellent detail, and a quotation was provided. Basically the basement floor was removed around the entire periphery of the basement using a jack hammer. They removed the concrete floor coming out about one foot from the wall. Then a trench was dug down about eight inches from the top of the foundation, or below the bottom of the concrete floor. The new drain pipe was installed with pea gravel stones around the entire basement foundation to my sump pump. The original drain pipes were left in and continue to drain. The new drain pipe is basically sitting just above it and enters my sump pit. A large section of my basement is finished, and they were able to do this work without a major tear up (depending on your perspective). Basically they removed about 18 inches of dry wall, removed the base plate, with the wall hanging freely from the upper floor joist. They were able to do all the work I described above leaving the wall hanging. After they finished, they reinstalled a new base plate, drywall, and filled in all the joints with joint compound. All I have to do is prime and paint it. A couple final notes. They added about 5 flush out points around the entire system. This allows me to 1) see inside the pipe and the water level, 2) easily snake out the drain pipe if needed, and/or flush it out with a hose. This is a really valuable feature. The workers were great... these guys worked there tails off. The main work consisted of a Team Leader, with a crew of 3 - 4 guys. Communication was very good.. I always knew what was going on. They arrived between 8:00 - 9:00 AM everyday, and worked until 7:00 PM... one night until 10:00PM. Adding the new drain system itself took 3 days, and another 2 days to do the finished area with dry wall. This could have been done in one day, but the joint compound needed to dry... so they're limited. I am so please with the job this company has done, and it's a lifetime warranty that's transferable if you sell the house. Based on what I see, I'm very confident the problem is fixed. We just had some heavy rain over the weekend, and not a drop of water anywhere. For anyone experiencing the water seepage I described above, you can feel confident with HomeSpec to do a quality job, and fix the problem. One last note... this is a messy job. They do take every precaution to limit the dust and dirt by laying down plastic on the stairway, walkways, and covering everything in the basement, but you need to realize dust is going to be in the air. But, the job has to get done if you have this problem, and I was very pleased with all the prep work they did to limit the dust."

"The Jetter came to my home and offered not only a traditional cable clean but educated me on why jetting was a wise decision for my home. So we started with a camera to ensure which clean would do best for my drains and with the knowledge gained from the camera we knew Caleb was right and that Jetting was the option for us Educating us and helping us understand was our favorite part of the experience and we will always call the Jetter first!"

"We did not think that people did this quality of work anymore. It is that good! We had just had a new septic tank and drain field installed, and had nothing left of our front lawn. Our plants had all seen better days,and our crab apple trees had scab disease. Prestige Landscaping had a blank canvas to work with. And wow, did they deliver!
The project started with a rendering of Ben's vision for our property, a vision that he brought  to life in immaculate detail. Everything that was promised was delivered, and more. Ben and Adrian worked almost every day for 2.5 weeks, doing work by hand that others would have done with machinery, such as breaking up our concrete walkway, shoveling dirt and grading the yard. Seed was sewn by hand. Their work ethic is amazing.
Ben and Adrian took their time to ensure everything was done properly, to their own high standards. There is nothing slipshod about their work, and no corners were cut. The greatest amount of time was spent in removing the old walkway and building the new walkway and resurfacing our front porch. Once that was done, the plantings and lawn seeding progressed smoothly and at good pace. We were provided a complete watering schedule for the plants and a one-year guarantee on the plant stock installed.
Communication was clear, consistent and reliable.All our questions were answered completely and truthfully.
Of course, when you spend what for us was a considerable sum, it is great to get some positive feedback on the work performed. Our neighbors have been effusive in their praise of the yard's "new look." It's rewarding to be complimented on the updates. Our neighbors across the street, who had a bird's eye view of the project as it unfolded, have already engaged Prestige Landscaping to do work for them next year.
We cannot speak highly enough of this company and unhesitatingly recommend them to you. You will not be disappointed!

"They were on time, they had to dig a hole in the basement floor and dig a communication with another drain as well. They covered carpet and sealed off the wrk area for dust during the jackhammering. They dug a trench through the front yard for the drain system and put everything back, you can barely tell what happened. Cleaned up, everyone was nice and professional. Very pleased."

"We had a very large, very long horizontal crack in our wall. Jacob W. was great. He answered all my husbands questions and worked his butt off. Along with Austin H. and Denzel K. The cleaned up everything when the job was done too. I would give them a 10/10 and would recommend them to anyone that needed foundation work done."

French Drains questions, answered by experts

Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.

Some experts estimate that descaling your cast iron pipes can extend their lifetime by upwards of 50 years, although there’s not a lot of research to prove it. But we do know that without proper maintenance, cast iron pipes can quickly rust—leading to more expensive issues like burst pipes or main line clogs.

Your sewer line can get grimy quickly. To prevent sludge buildup in your sewer line, pour a mixture of 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1/3 cup of baking soda down each drain in your home once a month. After about 30 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.

Some plumbers recommend 3/4 cup of bleach instead to clean any germs and bacteria that may build up in your sewer line. But this won’t break down any active clogs, and it cannot be combined with vinegar, as the mixture will create a toxic, hazardous gas.

If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.

DIY plunging or drain cleaning chemicals may help minor clogs, but professional hydro jetting ensures long-term solutions.
