"Foundation Repair - our house had to be raised about 3 inches. Frank and his crew were very professional, kept to their schedule. Frank spent extra time with my parents to explain the scope of work and minimize the disruption to their lives. His bid was very thorough and he was upfront with the fact that there could be additional cost based upon what the crew found once they exposed the foundation wall. Would definitely use him again."
"At this time it appears to have leveled the foundation. The workers were late for the appointment and left a hole in the carpet. The workers drilled holes under the carpet in all rooms except one. The workers were nice but it would've been better if I was asked about putting the hole in the carpet before it was actually done."
"Perfect job! First time they came out they determined the problem was in the gasline encased in stonework. Recommended getting a stonemason to chip away the rock, expose the line. Lined up the stonemason and phoned Jamison to make the appointment. Owner of company told me he would personally come out at the time of the stonemason to make sure no more stone than necessary removed. He did so. After rock removed, one of Jamison's plumbers came out, replaced the gasline (obstructed w/years of corrosion) and replace the ignition switch, reassembled the burner and ignited the pit. This company has first class workers and know what they are doing! Highly recommend for complicated jobs, such as this one! Thanks! "

"I started my search for a quality company and product by getting several estimates and by talking with my mother who had had both of her bathrooms done in the past year. She had used Mid-Am Re-Bath, and was completely satisfied with the service and quality. So while they were not the cheapest bid, I went with them anyway, expecting the same quality and service my mother had gotten. The sales rep. explained to me that it would take 1 day to do the install, provided there were not unexpected complications. I asked what "1 day" meant and he said ~6-8 hours which seemed reasonable to me. The installer and a second party plumber showed up on time at 9am, but the installer had not cut out the wall so the plumber could not do his work. The plumber left to go to another job, stating he would be back in a little while to do this job. Billy, the installer, started working to get the wall cut out for the plumber so it would be available when he got back. The problem began at about 4:30pm (now ~7.5 hrs. into the install) when the plumber finally showed up to install the new faucet. He seemed more interested in chatting than doing his work. At 7:00pm (now 10 hrs. into the install) the plumber was done and Billy could finally finish his part of the install. I was then informed by the chatty plumber that an inspector would be by the next day "sometime between 8 and 12" to inspect the plumbing. That is when I had finally had enough and informed him that I would be home the next day until 9:30am and if the inspector came by before then he could do his inspection, if not he was out of luck. Billy finally finshed the install and was gone ~9:30pm, for a total installation time of ~12.5 hrs. on a job that had no unexpected complications. After the frustration of what I consider an excessive installation time, I negelected to notice that the towel rack was not installed in the shower, and upon a closer look at the paperwork, the towel rack was not even put on the work order. The next day I insisted on speaking to a manager and was informed that no one was available but someone would call me the following Tuesday (after the Labor Day holiday). Tuesday no one called, so Wednesday morning I called and spoke to a manager who was completely unaware of any issues with this installation. I explained in detail what I considered the "issues" to be, she quickly told me that 12-14 hrs. is not considered unreasonable for an istallation, that she had no control over the time at which the inspection was to be done and agreed that the sales people needed to be upfront about the time commitment required from the customer. Billy, the installer was great and just as frustrated as I was with the delays. I really don't want to sound unreasonable but a 12 hr. installation was a bit of shock to me when I was expecting an 8 hr. installation. So, the inspection and installation of the towel rack is supposed to happen today (between 8-12) and 1 week (not "1 day") later the job will finally be complete. I love the look of my new bathroom and am pleased with the quality of the product and the installation so far, just not pleased about the way it came about. I have another full bath and a hald bath that I would like to have remodeled but I think I will pick another comepany for these jobs."
Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
The regulations around whether drain pipe installers need to hold licenses or certifications differ based on where you live and the type of drain pipe installed. Municipalities have varying rules and regulations about who can and can’t perform plumbing work. However, we recommend hiring a certified plumber to install or modify your drain lines. Licensed plumbers will perform a high-quality, professional installation, which translates to a lower risk of clogs and leaks in the future. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm the license status of your potential plumber before hiring them to install your drain pipe.
Pooling or standing water in your basement should be cause for alarm and action. This indicates that there is a leak or a drainage issue, and until you repair the root of the problem, the situation will only happen again or grow in severity. It’s important to deal with water damage as soon as it occurs.
Yes, many modern water pumps are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Look for pumps with high efficiency ratings or those with an Energy Star certification. These pumps consume less power and can reduce your utility bills. Additionally, variable-speed pumps are more efficient since they can adjust the flow based on demand, providing significant savings over time.
Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.
A sump pump can be added to an existing basement. To do this, you will need to use a jackhammer or sledgehammer to break up the concrete and dig a pit. You will also need to create a hole in your basement wall to run the discharge pipe through.
