"Hired Neli for a virtual repair of our Whirlpool washer. Tom was VERY knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We came up with a solid diagnosis of my issue and the replacement parts required. Tom advised me to consider the value of repairing, parts costs and time required, vs. a new purchase and the effort to repair was not going to be simple. We chatted about the pros/cons a lot. As the washer was 6+ years old and there were holiday sales I opted to purchase a new unit. This is the 3rd time I have worked with Neli. All instances have been very productive and positive."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Periodic inspections and addressing drainage issues prevent further damage.

You should always cover a French drain with gravel rather than dirt. Gravel will let water seep into the drain more easily, which means the drainpipe will collect more water and divert it away from your foundation. Dirt over a French drain will also clog the pores in the drainpipe over time, rendering your drainage system useless until you excavate the line and clear it, a time-consuming and potentially expensive process.

The process is different for each type of drainage system. But no matter your drainage system type, you’ll have to start by digging a hole or trench. To install an effective French drain, for example, you’ll need to dig a trench, line it with filter fabric, pour gravel inside, hook up pipe connections, set the pipe, and cover it with gravel.

You can use shovels or rent a trencher, depending on the size of the trench or hole you’re digging. You generally don’t need a permit from the city to install a drainage system on your own property, but if the work involves changing a structure or electrical work, contact your municipality to check the requirements.

Water damage to a foundation often starts as a slow leak or water vapor problem that worsens over the course of months or even years. The speed at which foundation leaks worsen depends on a few factors, including your climate and location, the soil composition around your home, the foundation drainage system you have in place, if any, and the type of foundation you have. Even if you have a minor issue that’s slow to develop, it’s best to have a professional address the issue immediately.

Some natural springs can dry up, but it’s far from inevitable. In the right conditions, a spring will continue flowing with water. Certain environmental or manufactured factors can threaten a natural spring, however. Hotter temperatures and decreased rainfall can cause a spring to dry up over time, especially in arid places. The same is true if you use spring water for drinking or irrigation faster than the groundwater replacement rate. Keep in mind that there are intermittent springs, which are active on and off throughout the year. They haven’t dried up; it’s all part of a natural water cycle.
