We specialize in underground utility repair, construction and rehab. If your project requires a simple repair or complex equipment and demanding schedule, we can help.

"So happy to be able to use the plumbing again within 4 hours of their arrival, after dealing with repeated cleanings for the previous 10yrs which was just getting worse as the years passed. If they were unhappy to on the coldest day of the year so far, they hid it well. They did leave behind 1 of their power cords, forgot to reconnect my downspout completely, and poked a hole in the screen door, but that's pretty minor for work done that I won't have to worry about until the day I die or sell the house. They came back when I called to finish the downspout, get their cord and take away an old pipe left in the basement that they replaced. I would recommend them for replacing a sewer line to anyone, but I can warn you - they don't give free estimates, unless they can't camera your line 1st."

Since 1985, Frank's Basement Systems has served the Greater Buffalo, Rochester, and Western New York regions in basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation and repair, and residential and commercial foundation repair services. As a member of several nationally-recognized contractor networks, such as Basement Systems, Supportworks, and CleanSpace, Frank's Basement Systems has access to patented, award-winning products and comprehensive training.

"Due to a rapid thawing, our home's sump pump started to fail and couldn't pump water faster than it was coming in from the drain tile. I came home from work to find a huge puddle of water in the area where the pump was situated, about 1/2" deep. The pump itself was working, but barely. After spending an hour bucketing water out of the pump well, I gave Frank's Basement Systems a call at around 7:45pm. One of their guys, Shane, was at my house within 20 minutes. He did a perimeter check outside the house and confirmed water was being pumped out, but the flow was minimal. He disconnected the pump from the piping, pulled it out, and I got a view of how corroded the old pump was, and it was chock full of debris and rocks. He cleaned the rocks from the pump and reinstalled to see if that would help the situation - it didn't. By this point, I was fully prepared to invest in a new pump, and he kindly provided me with the inventory he had available. Upon deciding which pump to go with, he went to his truck, drew up the paperwork that I signed, and he was able to install the new pump within half an hour. In addition to the pump, he redid the piping exiting the house and added a quiet check valve. Finally, he provided me with an estimate for a backup pump, at my request. Besides the great and thorough work, Shane was friendly, kind and honest. He did his due diligence in first attempting to repair the old sump before advising installation of a new model. He wore plastic booties over his shoes, wore a face mask the entire time and maintained proper social distancing. I've worked with Frank's at my previous house and am glad to have worked with them on the sump for my current house. I hope I won't need any work in the near future, but if I do, I'll continue to go with Frank's."

"I have been using them for years and I used to go through Richard. They always stood behind their work. Richard has retired and the new guy is Bob. He has given an attitude with me asking them to come back out to fix the toilet they had installed. It was crooked and I wanted him to redo it. Bob kept talking over me and would not let me get a word in. I moved on to talk to the owner who had Bob come out to correct the problem. Because of Bob's overall behavior being very unprofessional, I will not use them again."

Our goal is to not only provide cost-effective solutions backed by excellent service but to also educate the homeowner on causes of basement problems. We view our customers as partners and strive to assist them in achieving their goals and objectives. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. The only WATER that should be in YOUR BASEMENT is BOB WATERS!

"Once Bob Waters and his son Cody and associate Chance arrived on site, the work that I contracted for him to do went flawlessly and was completed in a timely and very professional manner! Bob and his crew followed the written quote he provided to me to the letter and there were no surprises, or additional charges. He brought screened top soil to lay down as needed and when Cody spotted some low spots around my yard, he asked if I wanted them to drop some top soil to those areas as well; which they did and at no extra charge. The website is very informative and outlines the scope of the Company's offerings and capabilities. Needless to say I would highly recommend Waters Basement Services to anyone requiring the services that they provide. You can tell that this is a family owned business, from the pride that Bob excludes when talking about his wife running the front office, to his son and potentially his grandsons working with him taking care of Customers in the future! BRAVO!!"

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

A well lasts at least 25 years, after which the natural sediment and minerals in the soil and water can build up and affect the well. Parts of the well, particularly the well pump, tend to wear out faster and require replacement after 15 to 20 years. Once the well reaches the end of its life span, you can hire a pro to seal it before drilling a new well in another location.

Septic systems can last anywhere from 15 to 40 years and even longer with proper care. However, accidents caused by weather or fires can drastically shorten this lifespan, and it may not reach its full potential without regular inspections and proper maintenance, like pruning back overgrown tree roots.

Buying a well drilling kit will save you money over hiring a professional. That said, digging a well is risky. If you make an error, you may have to get help fixing it. Also, the DIY costs are still pretty hefty when considering everything needed to complete the project successfully. You’ll need to account for the permit, pump, water tank, and more. If you don’t feel comfortable taking the necessary precautions to tackle this on your own, go with a pro.

Pumping your septic tank is vital maintenance. You’ll typically need to have your septic tank pumped about every three to five years when the tank is full. This is a routine maintenance task that can easily be handled by a septic tank company near you. They can also provide regular inspections to make sure all the parts of your septic system are working properly.

Septic tank lids may or may not be buried in a yard. Most lids are buried at least 4 inches deep unless you have an aerobic septic system. Aerobic septic systems need frequent cleanings, about every four months, so it’s best to leave these lids aboveground for easier access. For buried lids, homeowners can use risers that make it easier to locate and access a buried septic tank lid.
