"Masle and his team did an excellent job, going above and beyond to repair the entire system, replacing all of the rotten sills, beams and floor joists in a 120 year old mill house. And since he was also able to do the encapsulation and drainage system installation, I was able to work with one company to get everything completed. His pricing was very good, and added additional piers when he found it necessary without charging extra. I would highly recommend Uneven Floor Solutions for any foundation issues you might have."

"Our old 1940s house foundation needed some serious repairs. Water had been infiltrating the crawl space from rain and ground water for many years. Girder beams and support posts were slowly rotting. A web search turned up some companies which I interviewed and got quotes from. The Sexton Brothers were heads above all with their punctuality, diligence in understanding the problems, clear presentation on the proposed work, and competitive pricing. They kept to schedules and even finished 2 days early. Wonderful! I would certainly recommend them to others and in fact am considering them for another project right now."

"One was successfully cleared. The second was blocked by sand for which they did not have the correct equipment (a jetting tool). Also, to clear that drain would have required digging up a line and cutting into it, since the top of the drain was too narrow (2") with too sharp a curve to follow with anything but the snake. I elected to dig up the drain rather than pay them for manual labor but haven't found it yet, so haven't had them back to complete the job."

"It took two days to tear out the old insulation under the bottom floor and install encapsulation in the whole crawlspace. Nick and his crew did quality work getting the job completed. They also patched holes in the foundation, hauled off all the old, dirty insulation and torn vapor barrier. All-in-all a very accommodating crew."

"I hired Summerlin Ext to rebuild my mountain home's retention wall. It was a daunting task. Build a road, tear down an existing, rotting RR tie wall, rebuild a solid foundation and install a new wall. Jesse and his crew did an amazing job. They moved tons of earth to accommodate a Verti-blok wall that will last forever and accommodate the desired drainage for a WNC mountain home. Ask him to show you the photos, you will be amazed! Summerlin Ext will get the job done, no matter what."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Not all window wells have a formal drain, but they all require a method for water to flow away from the window. Some wells are connected to an interior or exterior drain tile, which is the most effective solution. Others rely on a deep layer of gravel or crushed stone that allows water to filter down into the soil.

However, if a window well lacks a proper drainage system, it can lead to basement seepage, costly water damage, mold growth, and potential foundation damage. This is especially true in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil.

If your window well doesn't have a drain or is not draining quickly enough, you have a few options. For gravel-based systems, the stone may have compacted and needs to be improved. For a more robust solution, you can hire a plumber or window installer to connect the well to a drainage system. This can also be a DIY project using a shovel or auger.

The cost to install a new sump pump, including materials and professional labor, typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000. The average cost is often cited between $1,200 and $2,500. Several factors influence the final price, including the type of pump, the complexity of the drainage system, and the installation location. For instance, installing a sump pump in a basement may cost around $1,200, while a more complex installation in a crawl space can cost an average of $3,900. It is important to hire a licensed professional for the installation to ensure quality work, which can impact the pump's lifespan and warranty. Note that these costs are for a new installation; replacing an existing unit is less expensive, typically costing $308 to $748.

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?

Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on the system and site conditions.
