However, when tenant reported water leaks, PMI Midwest did not respond quickly and for long time ignored my inquiries. I was later assured that leaks were taken care of. However, after multiple inspections and localized repairs, roof leaks continued, water damage resulted in holes in the ceiling, I had to replace soggy drywall, I have mold in the attic. After couple years of property mismanagement I stopped receiving rental revenues - everything was going to repairs. When I visited my house I noticed that crawlspace door was left open during spring thaw, letting dampness in. Water heater, plumbing, air conditioner were in a neglected state. I had to contact contractors myself and arrange proper repairs. Photos of water damage is available.

A very pleasant voice told me they could come in the early afternoon. They called an hour later to say they were on the way. Jeff, the technician arrived, put his boot covers on, and proceeded to the basement. After understanding the problem he got his equipment and cleaned the drain line. We tested it, and it worked fine. We found, however, as a result of Jeff's testing, that food had backed up to another drain line serving a basement bar sink. Jeff quickly cleaned that one also. Everything was now ship-shape.

I had a pipe split in the basement ceiling in the evening. Fortunately I was home to shut off the water a few minutes after it started, but it created stains on an 8’ x 10’ section of the sheetrock ceiling. I envisioned needing to tear down the ceiling and it was difficult to figure out where...

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Apple Valley, MN
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.
