"This is my second time needing service from Bay Crawl Space & Foundation Repair. The first time was 4 years ago with 6 push piers installed under the foundation footer. The service was excellent then, so I knew who to call when I needed a french drain/sump pump and more push piers installed under center beam. Michael Rowlands came out and inspected and gave a quote with the same honesty and trust he gave me for years ago. He took pictures to back up all his recommendations as usual. The crew Nate, Payne, and Michael did a great job and left my property just the way they found it upon arrival. The Electrical team Paul and Adrian did a great job connecting the lights and sump pump. The finish product looked as if it was built with the house. I trust this company with all my crawl space and foundation needs and you should to."

"the work was started a few days after the contract was agreed too and signed. Work progressed fairly rapidly until we got into a period of wet weather which slowed the work down but persistence paid off and it was finally completed about on the schedule if you consider the rain days. The work looked good, the doors were installed perfectly, the old electrical cover plates were replaced. We particularly like the way the outdoor lights, outlet, power meter etc. were mounted to the house and trimmed out. overall we were very happy with the work and will use American Home Improvements and Remodeling again.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
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.
Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.
A sewage ejector pump is necessary if you have any plumbing fixtures, such as a bathroom, laundry room, or sink, located below the level of your home's main sewer line. Standard plumbing relies on gravity to drain wastewater and solid waste into the municipal sewer system or a septic tank. For fixtures below this level, like those in a basement, gravity cannot move the waste upward. The ejector pump provides the force needed to pump the sewage up to the main line. Without one, wastewater from below-ground fixtures would back up, potentially causing a sewage overflow and flooding. If all of your plumbing is on the main floor or higher, gravity is sufficient and an ejector pump is not needed.
Heavy rain can affect a leach field because the extra rain can cause the groundwater level to rise. This leads the soil around the leach field to become saturated with rainwater, so it’s no longer able to take in effluent from the leach lines for final treatment. Heavy rainfall can cause the leach field to flood.
Test regularly, clean the pump, and inspect the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.
