"Cory Guerra came and inspected my home. Unfortunately due to my financial situation I am unable to move forward currently. I recommend giving foundation recovery systems a call. Cory did excellent at explaining what is going on with my basement."
"Drake was great to work with and so was his project manager, Eddie. Everyone in the crew was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. They buried our downspouts and installed a sump pump. They kept us informed throughout the project and left our yard looking better than we had anticipated. They even put down grass seed where they weren't able to make the grass look "normal"."
"Encapuated crawl space and installed dehumidifier. Painted floor joist and rim joist with paint to repeal mold. Excellent workmanship and possesed positive attitudes throughout. Would highly recommend"
"John and his crew were wonderful! They added a slab next to our pool. They were considerate, kind, and clean. He did the job exactly how he said and treated us with respect. His price was great and so was his service!!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
DIY is possible for basic setups. Professional installation ensures proper drainage and reliability.
Yes, a well-maintained sump pump can increase a home's value and make it more desirable to potential buyers; it does not lower property value. By protecting the basement from flooding and water damage, a sump pump provides peace of mind and can make the space usable for storage or as an extra room. For buyers interested in homes with basements, a working sump pump is a significant feature that adds value by ensuring the space is secure and less likely to flood.
Some questions you should ask before hiring a plumber or drainage installation company include:
Are you licensed and insured?
Do you have any customer testimonials I can read?
How do you handle unforeseen challenges that occur during the job?
Is your fee a flat rate or hourly?
Do you do the work, or do you have subcontractors?
Is everyone who does the work licensed and qualified plumbers?
Is cleanup included in the quote?
Do you offer a warranty or guarantee on your work?
You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home.
However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.
Signs include persistent dampness, mold or mildew presence, musty odors, and visible water stains. If any of these occur, it is advisable to contact a professional for an inspection.
