The experienced team at Apex will do a thorough assessment of your home to properly determine the cause of your water and/or foundation problems. We have the knowledge to fix your water issues correctly the first time. Many water problems stem from inferior or improperly installed waterproofing systems around the foundation, clogged downspouts, broken sump pumps or settling around the home’s foundation. Leaks and cracks in the foundation can also lead to bigger foundation problems in the future.

"I had Apex come out to address some serious issues in my basement, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their work. The initial assessment was thorough, and they clearly explained the problems and the necessary repairs. They provided a detailed and reasonable estimate. They fixed the foundation cracks, installed a new drainage system, and waterproofed the basement. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and maintained a clean and organized work area. They were respectful of my home and made sure to minimize any disruption to my daily routine. Throughout the process, communication was excellent. They kept me informed of their progress and were always willing to address any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Apex Basement & Drain Repair."

EverDry Waterproofing specializes in basement water proofing and foundation repair. Our method is patented, safe and 100% effective. With a lifetime transferable warranty.

"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."

“The basement finishing experts..." Endless design solutions. Thirty (30) years of experience, and a resume that includes work on over 1,200 basements. Buckeye Basements, Inc. is an award-winning remodeling company that specializes in basement remodeling.

"Excellent. We had several quotes before making a commitment. Our biggest priorities were quality work that we could trust was done right (no cutting corners) and timely completion of the project (no disappearing contractor horror stories), and that is what we got with Buckeye Basements. They presented us with a timeline at the beginning and it was accurate throughout the project, even ending a few days early. This helped us know exactly what to expect, when payments were due, and what days we needed to have decisions made such as paint colors. The crews were professional and kept a clean worksite. We would highly recommend them to family and friends!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Whether professional drainage installation is covered by insurance depends on your specific policy and the circumstances. In some cases, homeowners insurance may cover the cost if drainage problems pose a risk to your home's foundation or structural integrity. However, it's essential to review your insurance policy, understand the terms and conditions, and consult with your insurance provider to determine if your particular situation qualifies for coverage. Coverage may vary, so it's crucial to clarify the details with your insurer.

You shouldn’t use a French drain if you have nowhere for the water to go. For instance, maybe you don’t have a municipal drain nearby, and the only place the French drain could dump the excess water is a neighboring property or in a street without drainage. This just causes flooding problems for more people, so you’d want to consider a different draining solution for your property.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.

Whether interior versus exterior basement waterproofing is better for your home depends on your budget. The majority of water issues that homeowners experience in their basements are due to conditions that start outside of the home. So, to prevent those problems from seeping in, it’s better to stop them at the source using outside waterproofing methods.

Yes, it is possible to install a drainage system after landscaping your yard. While it may require some adjustments to your existing landscaping, a skilled professional can design and implement a drainage solution that complements your landscape design. It’s important to work with a knowledgeable drainage expert who can minimize disruption to your landscaping while effectively addressing drainage issues. This ensures both functionality and aesthetic appeal coexist harmoniously in your yard.
