"The owner of Atlas Foundations assessed my 75 year old home that had a wet basement with every rain since I purchased it in 2020. I compared his recommendation to 4 other foundation repair companies and chose to go with Atlas for their fair price, knowledge on the matter, good reviews & responsiveness. Although I could not wait to get this repair behind me so I could settle into my home completely, reduce mold exposure and not come home from work after a rainy day to shop vac water from the floor, I dreaded this week long repair. The foreman, James Watson and his crew showed up every day on time or early, patiently answered any and all of my questions, accommodated my smallest requests and made this stressful home repair go smoothly. My project included exterior excavation, exterior drain placement and carbon fiber straps inside. I admit that I am a picky clean freak and they guys did a nice job cleaning up behind themselves and were respectful of my property. I thoroughly interviewed 4 other foundation companies most of whom could get to my costly job "pretty quickly." Atlas had a 4 month wait and I am glad I waited. In my opinion, Woods Basement System, and Helitech Waterproofing are high pressure young sales people who want to "patch" a foundation issue rather than resolve it. Danneger & Son's Foundation was my next choice based on experience & reputation, but they wanted to charge TWICE what Atlas Foundations did. And the good news is, it rained for a week after Atlas Foundations did my repair & I have not had 1 drop of water in my basement. Thank you Atlas Foundations, Mike, Kim & James and crew!"

"Arrived on time. Gave recommendation to fix the gas line and the results were great. Looks good and no leak. Also worked on a laundry drain line. To replace it would have been overly expensive so he recommended replacing with a standpipe line to the floor drain. That also works great, and he also cut off and capped it. Courteous, professional and reasonably priced."

"A simple request turned into a mammoth project involving the installation of piers to shore up my foundation, but I'm glad for the work being done. Everyone involved did a good job, and Trevor Atwell was great as my contact."

"Jason from Quacker's arrived ON TIME to repair the foundation crack. He took a look at it, and told me that it was a minor crack. Jason told me to go to the hardware store and buy a $5.00 tube of caulk and seal it up myself. Instead of charging me for a professional repair that I didn't need, he TOLD ME THE TRUTH and saved me a ton of money! Quacker's has earned my trust. If I need any of the services that they offer, I *will* call them again!"

"I hired permajack due to a recommendation from my concrete guy. My foundation was sinking all around the perimeter. They offered a permanent solution and delivered. This was not a fun purchase but it was very necessary. Foundation repair is expensive, so Im pleased that these guys were on time, experienced and pleasant to work with. They cleaned up after themselves and the President of the company called me to follow up to make sure everything was delivered as promised. I highly recommend them. They were professional, respectful of my property and didnâ t waste my time. This can be rare in construction these days. Good well done!"

"Exceptional service. Tom and his team exceeded our expectations in every possible way during the landscaping process. My wife and I wanted our largest retaining wall rebuilt as it had begun to lean excessively creating an unsightly and unsafe area in our backyard. We met Tom last year to discuss the project and he was easily able to answer all of our questions and offer some suggestions. The proposal was delivered to us in a timely manner and Tom started the project a week earlier than expected. The team working on the retaining wall were impressive. This was a complex wall to rebuild. When the wall was originally built, we learned it didn’t have any 3/4” crushed stone along most of the wall or geogrid in most places. Tom and his team made it look easy. They showed up each day early and on-time. The guys were very friendly and accommodating. In fact, Tom was onsite every day to drop off supplies or ensure everything was progressing as planned. During the entire project, all of the landscape rock, dirt, and material was always delivered on time and the right amount. There were no delays other than a brief rainstorm. Since I was working from home during the construction, I was able to monitor the progress. I felt they really took pride in their work. Yea it’s a retaining wall, but a big one and it was engineered perfectly. It has really made a difference to our landscape. We gained 5+ feet of additional space along the length of the wall too. In addition, we wanted our existing steps down to the backyard replaced as they were built incorrectly. The original spacing was too narrow for anyone to walk down without tripping. We decided on a natural stone step and used a grey limestone. This was a perfect choice. The steps look amazing! Plus, we no longer trip. In summary, I thought this landscape company was a great find and a hidden gem in St Louis. We are so happy with our new backyard and would recommend Tom and his team to anyone!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.

The least expensive basement waterproofing methods include grading soil away from your home, installing downspout extenders on your gutter system, and applying a waterproof paint on the interior of the foundation walls. Installing a French drain is a relatively inexpensive method if you do the work yourself, although it’s labor-intensive and can be challenging to install properly.

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

Start by calling a plumber if you want to install a sump pump battery backup. Talk to them about your situation and needs. Sometimes, electricians or waterproofing contractors will install a battery backup, and in that case, the plumber you call should be able to point you in the right direction.

Sump pumps prevent basement flooding, reduce humidity, and protect against water damage.
