"From my first Mount Valley Foundations evaluation appointment with Carlton Cisson to the construction team assigned to reconstructing and encapsulating my grusome crawl space foundation mess (Shaun Dixon, Alex Hernandez, Milton Martin and Dre Nesbitt) I experienced nothing but professionalism, positive & friendly demeanors, constant and thorough communication and a completed job above my expectations! Hoping I never have to have such foundation work ever done again, but will certainly call Mount Valley again, if I do!"

"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!"

"After a couple of months of my basement flooding and my house being nearly ruined by the resultant moisture and mold I decided I had to do something.  Eric Snyder came out, accessed the situation and and recommended a French Drain in my back yard.   My house is on the side of a mountain and all the water from above was running into my backyard and subsequently into my basement.
The job was extremely difficult for him and his crew.  My backyard is all roots and rocks.  They had to use pickaxes and saws to install the drain which was about 60 feet long and extended around the back of the house to the front yard where it could drain.  The drain went through my sidewalk and in front of my driveway.  He and his crew installed a bridge to provide access to my house.   It looks like a stream bed and is really quite attractive.  
Best of all my basement has been dry as a bone since then.
I trust Eric's work so much that I don't even get other estimates anymore when I need something done.  I know he will do a good job at a fair cost.

"The existing steps were too narrow for the porch. We wanted to make the front porch more of a focal point and attempt to accentuate the modest midcentury design of the house. Joseph Walls of Brick Solutions, came to our house within a couple of days from out initial phone call. He was professional and extremely interested in our project even though it was not a large project. He was willing to work in our time schedule and he kept us informed during the entire process. My only regret is that I did not find him sooner, but will only use him in the future!

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

A sump pump will drain a flooded basement if it has a horsepower strong enough to remove the water faster than it is entering the room. If you have the wrong type or size of sump pump installed–or if your sump pump has failed–you may need to take additional steps to stop the flow of water or remove it manually.

A grinder pump is a major investment for homeowners and business owners alike. Protect this investment by choosing a reliable and reputable contractor to source the pump itself, install it, and outsource any additional work. Research local sewage system contractors ahead of time to ensure they have the appropriate insurance and licensing. You should also perform a fairly thorough online search to get a feel for the company’s professionalism by reading reviews.

Finally, give them a call to discuss the project. A good technician will be more than happy to get into specifics regarding both the installation process and the pricing.

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.
