"Water Solutions installed carbon fiber straps on my basement wall to keep it from moving any more and did a great job. They explained how the system works and made me feel confident in the solution. The install was clean, quick, and professional. Best of all, I have peace of mind knowing the wall is stabilized and won't keep getting worse."

"Dakota's team was great! So professional and knowledgeable. They installed a drain tile system at my home and I am completely satisfied. I highly recommend Epp Foundation Repair!"
"The only reason this company gets an overall grade of C and not an F is because they are prompt and professional with emails, phone calls and showing up on time. We contacted this company (1 of 3 companies) to help us assess why we were having water issues in our basement, mostly in one concentrated area where our furnace, water heater and water softener are located. Long story short, the sales person assessed that we needed a very expensive sump pump. He also tried to sell us every other thing imaginable related to repairing basement water issues. By the time his bid was done, it was sitting at $17,000! He was very professional and took the time to look around in the basement and had an impeccable computer presentation but we were shocked at the upsell. Since then, we've had 2 other consultations with the 3rd one being today. When we told today's salesman about our issues, he said he had really good news for us. He said the water issues we were having was more than likely a clogged floor drain. So he asked if he could turn on the water softener (which is normally programmed to run at night), and we said sure. Once he turned it on, the floor drain began to overflow. He asked us to watch it through it's cycle which takes about an hour. He left and sure enough, after about 45 minutes, I heard it at it's loudest point and went down to find water all over the floor in that area. So what will thankfully only cost us a minimal amount could have cost us thousands of dollars had we went with Thrasher."
"As a project manager in the construction industry I can tend to be a little overbearing when it comes to hiring contractors to work on my own home. During the discovery/bid process Cody was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with explaining the issue and the options we had to remedy my problem. Their bid came in at a fair value and below what I was as expecting so we signed the contract to move forward with the work. Olshan installed 8 cable lock st piers to lift and stabilize our foundation. Alejandro was in charge of the actual work on our home and he is an absolute rock star. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure that the job was performed correctly. His crew was respectful of our home and got in and out as quickly and cleanly as they could. Alejandro answered all texts and phone calls in a reasonable amount of time and always kept me in the loop. Overall, foundation work is tough but Olshan made it look easy. Cody and Alejandro were exceptional throughout the process and I trust if I ever need anything in the future they will be there for me."
"He was very nice got the job done very efficiently made no mess check it twice made sure it drained very polite I would recommend him or company to anyone glad I called"
Promptly returned my first call to provide the estimate. He beat the other companies called right off the bat. Provided a clear concise estimate and full explanation of work needed to be done. Included the discount for using Angie's List and provided a no excuse 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Called in advance to schedule the actual day of work and showed up promptly. He and his crew got right to work and was no nonsense. Once the job was done he pointed out that the door didn't seal correctly. We used a level to assure that the new surface was indeed level. It was obvious that the old garage door was probably warped which was indeed the case and I suspected as such. It was clear I really did need to get a new door along with addressing the settling issue of the concrete floor.
Rosendo promised that when the new door is installed that if for some reason it doesn't seal correctly according to the door installer he will come back and do whatever he needs to do to the floor to get a proper seal.
Folks, I don't know how you can beat that for quality customer service. It is quite obvious to me that Rosendo wants to be sure his customers are completely satisfied. Combine that with a timely estimate for service, follow up, quality work and a no questions asked satisfaction approach...that is what America used to be known for.
I have already given him two larger concrete projects going forward that we want done before the end of the year. That's my review for P&R Concrete in Lincoln. Glad to know we have someone we can trust to handle our concrete projects!
"Customer service and project ideas were great! They were flexible with pricing and not restrictive on overall project ideas (I came up with an idea to combine two separate pipes into one french drain system, which they were more than willing to do) in order for me to save on cost. I definitely recommend Ram Jack of Omaha!"
Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
Ideally, your sump pump discharge should run down a natural downhill slope 10 to 20 feet away from your home’s foundation. However, if your property is naturally flat, that might not be an option. Instead, you may be able to discharge it into a neighborhood storm drain or a nearby creek or pond. If that’s not possible, consider burying it underground.
Basement toilets don’t always need a pump. However, it is the most common setup because plumbing systems use gravity to move waste away from the home. Basement toilets often sit below the home’s main sewage system, and installing a sewage ejector pump pushes the wastewater and sewage up to the main sewer line. Alternatively, you can use an upflush or macerator toilet that breaks down the waste and pushes it straight to the main sewer line rather than via a sewer line from the bathroom.
Most people consider a French drain to be one of the most effective solutions for foundation leaks, but it’s not always a standalone solution. French drains will help keep water away from your foundation to reduce the risk of leaking and structural damage from soil expansion, but depending on your foundation type and location, you might need other systems or techniques—like soil gradation and gutter and leader installation—to resolve the underlying problem.
Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.
Yes, you can add a battery to your existing sump pump. There are batteries available that can be plugged into your existing system; however, most battery backups come as a complete system and act as a replacement for your existing sump pump.
