"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."
"We live on the water and crawl space was getting moldy and very humid which you could detect as you entered the house. Virginia Foundation Solutions solved the problem very effectively, professionally, and with competitive pricing. After a year, the annual maintenance proved the system installed was correct and remains effective. It was a pleasure to work with them and we have confidence that the system installed was as promised. Great company!"
"I hired JES to perform a number of foundation works for my property, and I had a very satisfactory experience largely thanks to the JES employee Chris Yi, who was very helpful and informative in every step of the process. He went above and beyond to ensure I got all the information I needed to make the decisions and to make sure the project went smoothly from start to finish. He even came back the second time to take me through another tour of the finished project to make sure I get to see every corner and get a good inspection of the work. Not to mention his exceptional mannerism. This level of professionalism is rare to find these days and people like him should be nominated for the employee of the year."

"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.

No, you can’t drain your sump pump into your home’s sewer system. In fact, it’s against the law in many places because dumping extra water into a municipal water system can disrupt or overwhelm the treatment process. And for similar reasons, you shouldn’t discharge a sump pump into your septic system, either.
A range of certified professionals can install French drains, from foundation specialists to plumbers. However, you’ll want to make sure that the professional has a breadth of experience installing the specific type of drain you need in or outside your home. Your contractor should also have experience with sump pumps, waterproofing, and flood-proof landscaping.
If you hire a professional, installing a new sewage ejector pump costs $850 to $3,500, or an average of $2,300. Otherwise, if you handle the installation yourself, you can expect to pay $500 to $1,000 for the sewage ejector pump, permits, and other supplies required for this DIY project.
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.
