"Mr. Gamez is clearly knowledgeable and experienced in foundation work. When he provides a time he will meet for an estimate, and a time he and his crew will arrive to start work, you can count on that time. His work is masterful, yet he guarantees it in writing."
"Water softener works great and they fixed some of other problem that we didn’t know were there until they found them! Who puts a drain through an AC vent?? So glad they fixed it for us!"
"Nick at Ethical Plumbing did a great job fixing our drain issues! We already had several plumbers out to our home to try to fix it but were unsuccessful. Nick fixed it AND saved us money. We will always use Ethical Plumbing from now on. Highly recommend!"

"These guys were fantastic! Last Friday I received a call from the town about an excessive amount of water use (like five times the normal amount) After some trouble shooting we came to the conclusion we had a leak on the main line outside. I had made a few calls to other plumbers and by Monday (8-14) even managed to get one willing to come Tuesday but was warned that they wouldn't be available to do any actual work for another week or two. Not happy with their schedule or the lack of concern of my leak issue, I made one last call to All About Plumbing. The man I spoke who asked multiple questions about my issue and unlike the other plumber, he seemed to share my concern with my issue. He even apologized that there was one stop ahead of me but insured they would be by as so as possible THAT day. Later on Monday morning two friendly men, Richard and Kasey, showed up, did a quick assessment of the work, gave me a fair estimate and, to my surprise, confirmed that would be available to handle the work on Wednesday-in just two days! The new line would go from the meter, under some drainage pipes and a sidewalk, through two flowerbeds the foundation before connecting in our basement. Richard took the time to explain everything they would need to do. He then assured me they would be do their best to not disturb more that what was necessary for the job and they would return everything the best they could. (Using grass seed in the yard, returning the cut peice of sidewalk, waterproof sealing the hole in the foundation) Then jump to today (8-16) Richard, Kasey and a new guy, Ben, show up first thing and get right to work. They ran into a few issues and Richard had to jump though a few hoops with the permit but they handled everything calmly and professionally. Also anytime the guys had to come inside for the work they were very kind and respectful (Even gave my excited pitty some love) Honestly I have never been so relaxed when working with a group before. Their work was quick and it looks amazing. I will happily use All About Plumbing again and would recommend them to anyone in need of a plumber."
"Jesse built two decks and oversaw our home renovation. We were extremely pleased with his work. He also communicated very well so we were never wondering next steps."
"I wish that they at least look through a camera to see what was clogging the drain. The team was nice, polite, and clean. But, the cost was a bit too much for just running the snake through the pipe, and not knowing the root cause of the problem. They need a camera!"
"David and his crew replaced my front slate/river rock walkway with beautiful, wood-looking stamped concrete, far exceeding what I had anticipated. A group of 5-6 skilled professionals produced a flawless, solid foot path that an Orlando friend of mine noted, “You brought the beach to Asheville,” (I had lived beachside in FL, and to my delight it does look a bit like a beach crossover). David refers to himself as a ‘concrete nerd’. I don’t think I’ve ever met one, but this term should serve as well-deserved flattery that he and his workers can enjoy. They’re a superior group with a superior company. Presently, I’m in the process of booking them for another home improvement project."
"Donny did a great job fixing my shop. The entire sill plate of the building had been eaten by termites. Donny had to lift the walls in portions and replace the sill and then poured a new concrete foundation over the dirt floor that was in place. The work was done quickly, he always kept the place clean, was respectful and very helpful explaining things and helping us understand what was going on. It was a great experience. I hired Donny again for another foundation repair when a wall on out converted carport was leaking at the base. Donny responded quickly, gave a good quote and got to work. He again left the place very clean and was really easy to work with. If i ever run into an issue I just call Donny."
Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.
Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.
By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.
For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.
Almost any kind of home can have a wine cellar or cabinet installed. You’ll need an area where a concrete floor can be put in, along with the necessary insulation, climate control, and ventilation systems. If you think of yourself as an aspiring sommelier, an underground wine cellar may be ideal, but it will cost significantly more.
What you choose to install really depends on your budget and how many bottles you’re looking to store.
Submersible and pedestal sump pumps are two popular types of sump pumps. Submersible models are covered by water in a sump pit, which helps keep the motor cooler and quieter. Pedestal sump pumps stick out of the sump pit, so the motor stays dry and is easier to access. Submersible sump pumps are the pricier option, but they also have longer life spans.
A sump pump battery backup can typically run for 6 to 24 hours. The factors that affect its runtime include the battery capacity and pump usage.
When purchasing your backup system, take these factors into consideration to determine which system is best for your home. If you live in an area with frequent and long-lasting power outages, consider a longer-lasting backup battery.
