"They had to take out a portion of my front wall which was not planned on, and the conic quality of the concrete was not as good as I thought it should be they destroyed the brick wall that they said they would be able to save and I think they also damaged an additional plumbing line, which I’m going to have to have repaired But we did get the leaking stopped, which was the big part of the problem they had to dig up the entire front foundation down to the 8 foot footer and re-waterproof the wall put in a French drain system and a new drainage system for the gutter and a sump pump"

"This is the second time I have used Sexton Brothers. I have a quirky 100 year old house and both times, they been willing to take on unusual jobs and came up with creative and effective solutions that fit my budget. Everyone has been so friendly, punctual and hardworking and I love that someone always answers the phone when I call. They ended up having to pour an unplanned new footer but still honored the original estimate. I trust their knowledge, work and integrity and I will call them next time I need anything done on the foundation / crawl space. Thank you so much Sexton Brothers Construction! I’m excited to start using the old root cellar under the house without having to worry that the pit is going to cave in!"

"First, let me say that Eric's team not only did a great job, they probably saved me several thousand dollars. We just bought a house as rental property, and knew we'd need several major jobs done.  Eric gave us a better deal by doing them all at once.
The old deck was falling apart and not to code, since it was just screwed to the house and not secured to the house framing.  Eric used new technology that meets code and allows the deck to be installed without tearing out the ceiling inside the house.  The new deck is strong enough to have gorillas jump on it and still be safe.  We went with composite boards to make the deck last longer and reduce maintenance. Now we don't lose rent on the lower unit while the deck is installed, and the upstairs tenants are safe on the deck.
Water was draining down a hill right up to the house walls, so Handyman Xpress dug the trench, put in the French drain both above and to the side of the house to prevent water damage to the foundation, and replaced an old leaky downspout with a new one.  This area was not accessible by vehicle, so it had to be dug by hand in the cold, hard ground in January.
There had been a leak behind the shower in the lower bathroom.  The entire wall, surrounding tile, and cast iron tub had to be removed down to the studs, as well as 2 sinks. Then  sheet rock, a new tub, new surround, new wall with water resistant drywall, replacement tiles for wall beside the tub, and paint were used to fix the tub/shower.  The previous owner(s) had used galvanized pipes and jerry-rigged techniques that resulted in leaks and probable future problems. Eric's crew arranged to have the plumbing issues resolved preemptively.  All the fixtures were updated and the bathroom was painted. 
Additionally, there were several things we needed done that had not originally been on the list for Eric. We needed a broken window in the garage door replaced, and had them use plexiglass instead of ordinary glass. Looks great and is sturdier as well.
There were 2 broken cabinets in the kitchen and a broken medicine cabinet in another bathroom that was replaced. The dropped ceiling over the upstairs shower was falling, and they repaired that as well. The crew also added a couple of bars, hooks, and towel racks in the bathroom.  The team was very willing to do these as well.
Overall, everyone with Handyman Xpress was polite, friendly, courteous, patient, and professional. (Sounds like a Boy Scout troop, but it's true).

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.

Methods include interior sealants, exterior excavation and waterproofing membranes, sump pump installation, and vapor barriers for encapsulation. Techniques vary based on the structure and severity of moisture issues.

French drains, sump pumps, and exterior waterproofing systems are common options. Choose one that best suits your property’s needs.

In most cases, yes, because the large majority of basements leak or will have moisture issues at some point, and waterproofing methods can mitigate that risk or eliminate it entirely. Plus, water and moisture issues can be quite problematic, as they can lead to mold growth, rotting of building materials, structural damage, poor indoor air quality, increased electric bills, and other problems.

Sump pumps remove excess water from the lowest point of your home, which prevents flooding. When a sump pit fills with water, a sump pump pushes that water outside of the basin and into an exterior discharge pipe. From there, the water flows away from your home, so it doesn’t damage your foundation.
