"What a great team I had. First Jim on electrical was terrific two new outlets each on their own circuit installed, very neat and professionally done. Next came the installation crew of Tim and Dan, these two are machines. They got right to work trenching the perimeter and then installing the drainage channel. Start to finish job completed in roughly six hours. Job site was left cleaner than I expected when dealing with concrete dust. Won’t know how it all works until water table rises but very impressed with the quality of the work and the people doing it. Thanks to all of you again."

"It’s been 5 months since Todd and his crew encapsulated my crawl space but I wanted to wait to give a comprehensive review of their services and the outcome of their work. The short answer is: I’m thrilled! Here’s the story: Last summer I bought a small home which has a crawlspace. As soon as the weather turned humid I noticed a distinctly musty/earthy odor. When I had central air installed, all it did was exacerbate the situation by blowing the air from the crawlspace all over the house. To say I was distressed is an understatement. I wasn’t sure encapsulation was the answer but after calling around and doing some online research there didn’t seem to be any other obvious solutions. While I had built one new house (full basement) and gut renovated another (slab foundation) I found myself in new territory with an older home (60s) and a crawlspace. Doug came in and did a consultation. I had a lot of questions and deep dove the technical details. I’m sure it was trying for both Doug and Todd, but every question I had was answered promptly and thoroughly (something other companies failed to do). I decided to go for a full encapsulation solution with a commercial humidifier, drain, and some underlayment in particularly rough areas. Todd (and his assistant Kyle) did outstanding work and every unexpected issue they encountered was handled quickly and professionally. When they found rotting wood forms that were left from when the concrete supports were poured, they pulled them out. When they found some rough areas of construction debris around the perimeter, they cleaned that out. And when Todd found some minor seepage in the corner of the crawlspace that he traced it to the outside where a downpipe was punctured and draining too close to the house, he went and bought some new downpipe and repaired it--charging me just for the materials. To say that these guys went above and beyond is an understatement. Any homeowner knows that feeling of having made a horrible mistake and I wasn’t sure the crawlspace issue could be fixed. Not only did Todd and his crew do an amazing job but they put me at ease throughout the process. They were punctual, tidy, thorough and just generally great to work with. I couldn’t recommend them more highly! (Now if only I could find other contractors who are just as good…) P.S. The other reason I waited so long to write a review is that in my particular situation, there is little separation between the air of the crawl space and the rest of my small house. So after it was first encapsulated, there was a strong smell of… well kind of a mix between plastic and dryer sheets. It was not terribly unpleasant but distinct and noticeable (and I’m very sensitive to smells). If anyone else experiences this, I recommend buying a large fan for the crawlspace and using it periodically to move the air from the crawlspace out of the house and move fresh air in. (I bought a cheap contractor fan that pivots upwards and put it on a smart home remote). Over the course of a few months it dissipated and I’m thrilled to report that I don’t notice it at all now."

"Dave came in and created a new, ADA compliant (for my wife), small bathroom layout that solved a host of issues including a larger shower footprint. After seeing how well the larger shower fit, we decided to continue with all new fixtures, beadboard sheathing, crown molding, new window, and LVP flooring (see attached New Bath pics). No chasing subcontractors, it was all Dave. He also increased the water flow in the kitchen and bathroom by tuning the water pump, implementing a new crawl space plumbing design, and increased the water intake out in the lake. He offered the opportunity of re-locating the hot water heater out of the crawlspace where the old one had rusted and increasing the HW capacity. We couldn’t say yes fast enough. All of this and not one leak! Dave also identified and corrected several issues with our electrical panel when he was installing the water heater and baseboard heat. I don't often write reviews, but we were just so impressed with Dave. We were incredibly happy with his work, but what we were most impressed with was how quickly he responded and followed up with us, how competitively priced he was, and how professional and friendly he was. He listened to what we wanted, he researched requests, made recommendations, and selected quality products for our changes. We made incremental changes after we started that added to the project scope but he always sent us an estimate for those changes via email beforehand so we could formally agree or contact him to discuss any questions or changes that we had. He takes a lot of pride in his work and wants to make sure he provides you with what you want. I wish all contractors did business like this!"

"We had two cracks in our foundation. One crack was much more severe than the other. For the mason contractors to properly fix the inside and outside of the cracked foundation they had to take out an old concrete patio slab. They fixed the foundation cracks and put in a new slab, filled in three basement windows, replaced two basement windows, installed two window wells, installed drainage pipe for gutter run off, and added fill around the foundation to make positive grade. Serena and Bo kept us in the loop every day to tell us what work was being performed for each day. We will definitely be using Staats Masonry again for any of our other future concrete jobs."

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.

In most cases, yes, because the large majority of basements leak or will have moisture issues at some point, and waterproofing methods can mitigate that risk or eliminate it entirely. Plus, water and moisture issues can be quite problematic, as they can lead to mold growth, rotting of building materials, structural damage, poor indoor air quality, increased electric bills, and other problems.

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.

The cost to install landscape drainage varies widely based on the scope of the project and the severity of the drainage issues. Typically, this project’s cost falls somewhere between $2,000 and $7,000 overall. Small-scale projects or simple fixes may start at the lower end, while more extensive and complex solutions could reach the higher end of the range. To get an accurate estimate, you should obtain quotes from multiple companies, as they will assess your specific needs and provide a customized cost estimate based on the work required.

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.
