Kevin arrived promptly at the appointment time. He walked around our entire roof and checked all of the gutters. He found 3 paper clips, a tennis ball, 2 parts of shingles that the roofers had left, a toad, and 1 leaf, all of which he removed from the gutters. The tennis ball had clogged one of the downspouts and was keeping the water from draining. Otherwise, our gutters were clean. Kevin didn't tell me our gutters needed to be replaced. He did point out a couple of gutter spikes that need to be pushed back in. He didn't try to push me into buying the leaf relief. He didn't charge me for unclogging the drain or removing the items from the gutters. Kevin was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. When we need a new roof or gutters, we will certainly call him to do the job. His honesty was appreciated, and his willingness to take care of the customer was apparent in how he handled the visit today. I will be recommending him to our friends and neighbors.

From start to finish it took about 2 weeks, but they didn't work on this non-stop every day. Since this was a rehab for rental, time wasn't critical. Some aspects of the project such as the drains and electrical pushed their limits a little but, but we worked together to make sure my expectations were understood and that it got done. For the items they were unsure about what I wanted or how to do it, they called to make sure they were on the right path or even called in their electrician contact to check the work. Overall, the project turned out great. Tile was straight, cut perfect, drywall finishing was perfect, textured ceiling was done well, and electrical to code. The only minor issues were that they did leave some extra drywall materials onsite, shower nozzle drop fitting wasn't secured the best behind the wall before the tile went up, and the bathroom vent line install through the outside vinyl siding was a bit sloppy. (Used lots of expandable foam to cover large gaps cut in.)

Several years ago we experienced flooding in the north part of our basement after heavy snows which melted and were followed by rain storms. We had several inches of water in parts of the basement. We tried several fixes, including removing our patio bricks, regrading and installing a sump pump. Although these actions stopped the actual flooding, we continued to see water entering on the north basement walls during heavy rains, particularly in the part of the basement where our deck connects to the house. For a couple of years we actually put 4 mil. plastic sheeting over our deck during rainy seasons to drain the water off the deck away from the house. This was obviously not a permanent solution, but it seemed to help. We wanted a final solution to totally eliminate any water entering the basement. The house is about 30 years old, and the original deck would have to be removed to do this project. We decided to replace the deck either with a new deck or pavers. We contacted Grunder Landscaping after a search on Angie's List for contractors that deal with drainage problems. We called Grunder and described the situation. We talked with Brent Ogburn who agreed to review our situation for a consulting fee of $150. Brent came out in late November within a few days after we called to discuss our situation. He advised us that the ground below our deck was sloping toward the house rather than away from it. He provided a quote with several options, including the removal of our existing deck and the installation of a new deck, a concrete patio or pavers. If we decided to have the deck rebuilt, Grunder would subcontract that work to a contractor in Dayton. We decided to have the deck rebuilt, which was the least expensive option, and to have a local contractor construct the deck instead of the Dayton subcontractor. When we called Grunder to advise that we would like them to do the drainage work but had selected a local contractor for the deck, we learned that a part of the project we had discussed with Brent had not been included in the original quote. Grunder provided us with a new quote, which added about $750 to the cost of the project. We weren't pleased with the additional cost, but decided to go ahead with the project after talking with Lance, the project manager, who came out with Brent to review our situation. Lance was very professional and knowledgeable. Grunders' workers did a very good job. They were not able to work everyday due to the winter weather and co-ordination with the deck project. But they worked on the project as weather permitted and completed it in a reasonable time. Grunder's payment terms are 1/3 down 2/3 at project completion. We have been burned in the past when paying for a project before completion, so were a little concerned about the 1/3 down payment. But all the work has been completed per our agreement except for the seeding which will be done in the spring. Grunder subtracted the cost of the seeding from their project invoice, so we will pay for that portion when it is completed. Overall, we have been very satisfied with their work. We believe our water problems have been solved. We would use them again for landscaping or other related projects. Update - April 2011. Unfortunately, the drainage work done by Grunder has not prevented water from entering the basement during the heavy rains we have had this spring. We notified them and sent them pictures of the basement water. Brent did come back out and take some measurements of the slope of our patio. When Grunder came back to reseed they did slope the drain a bit more, but that has not solved the problem. We are now looking at several thousand dollars in additional cost to have our patio torn out, the ground under it regraded and replaced. We have covered our deck, patio, and bushes with plastic sheeting to prevent the rain from entering the basement until we determine what else to try to solve this problem."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/oh/miamisburg/grunder-landscaping-co-reviews-308666.htm"},"position":10}]}

"They were able to come out quickly to assess the issue, then schedule the work. The work was performed quickly, but they did have to come back and fix the drainage issue, as they had set the drain as one of the high spots in the basement, not the lowest. So, while it works, it looks odd and I’ve got a drainage tube in a weird spot."

"The initial work seemed OK, but it quickly became clear that there was still water leaking through the basement walls. After several phone calls, an employee returned to inspect the walls and agreed that the exterior work needed to be redone. I pointed out that plastic pipes had been left exposed in my yard, without drainage to the street. He agreed that this wasn't acceptable. I called multiple times to set up repairs. My calls were not returned. I obtained the number of Joey, the production manager, spoke with him after several attempts, and sent him detailed texts and photos. No return visit materialized. Over the course of the next several months, I called the company multiple times. They actually visited my home a total of 9 more times, but they showed up without a crew, with one guy and a shovel, or saying they didn't have the equipment for the job. Finally a single employee with a shovel appeared, unscheduled, buried the pipes, and said he corrected the plumbing from the sump pump. Unfortunately, he didn't connect the pipes, and the pop up is 8 feet from my porch. Now a fountain erupts from the drain along side the house, and gallons of water discharge along the basement wall, as well as from the pop up. The soil along the foundation has eroded, and after a rain there is standing water for days in front of my porch. This brand new problem has lead to the interior walls originally water damaged, to become wet again, and a wall that was NEVER even damp before is now soaked, and the dry lock paint has bubbled up. Recently a manager came to look at the situation, and said I would be notified of when the repairs would take place. A couple of weeks later, I called, and managed to get the work scheduled. A crew is to come out June 5th. I however, have ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE THAT THE WORK WILL BE PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DAMAGE THAT THE COMPANY HAS CAUSED WILL BE REPAIRED. After 18 months of excused, shoddy workmanship, untrained employees that have made matters worse, and now new damage, I am beyond frustrated and angry."

French Drains questions, answered by experts
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
Septic tanks can clog if they aren’t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.
French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe.
Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.
You can pour hot water down your gutter drain to melt ice and keep ice dams from forming. If the problems persist, consider investing in heat cables to run in your gutters. Heat cables can adjust based on the surrounding temperature to keep ice thawed.
To clean gunk out of a sink drain, pour in a half cup of baking soda, then 1 cup of white vinegar. The two will react chemically; let them fizz for 15 minutes, then rinse with boiling water. Repeat these steps if necessary for particularly dirty sink drains, and consider a drain snake if there are clogs.
