"Legacy Support fixed our foundation. Their professionalism is exceptional. We had some plumbing complications (our fault) which delayed our project. Legacy's customer service and guys were in contact regularly until the project was scheduled and completed. All I can say is 5+ stars."
"Company owners showed up at the agreed date and time. They did a thorough walk around, asked what seemed to me to be the appropriate questions, and gave me an estimate on the spot. They told me I would be contacted by their scheduler to arrange for the work crew to come do the work. They thoroughly explained the process to be used and the precautions that would be taken to protect my property. A couple of days later the scheduler called to ask if their crew could come in a couple of hours since they had finished another job earlier than expected. The crew did its work in about two hours completely to my satisfaction. They did a good job of cleaning up the fairly small mess they had made and I am extremely satisfied with their work. "
"UPDATE 7/9/18: NOT a happy camper. I was so excited to get a much needed french drain. I would stand out in the street just to watch the water exit into the street. However, I am less than pleased now. The pipe was barely buried. Even the littlest bit of rain washes the soil away and exposes the pipe. I could have dirt brought in to pile on top of it but I don't feel like I should have to. I think it should be a given that it would be buried. There is a big hole which is where I believe two pipes are supposed to meet. Chris at Pier-tech did come out after I left him know it was leaking around a downspout a few months ago. But he had not responded to my texts or phone call regarding this new issue. It's a hole that even when I fill it with dirt, it keeps sinking in again. Something is not right! Original review: Clint Majors and Jose (didn't catch his last name) were great! We desperately needed a French drain. Clint found ways to help me save money and most especially understood my need to protect the drain from my two big Huskies who like to dig. I cut wire to lay over the top of it and they took the rock they would not be able to use under the drain (couldn't go deep enough because of utilities) and put it over the top of the wire. They even staked down the wire for me. It rained a lot today and I was out in the street taking pictures and video of the water running OUT of my yard and into the street to the city drains!!!! Believe me, I am doing a happy dance!! Clint assured me if I have any issues to let him know and he will come check things out. Oh, I should mention they had to HAND DIG the trench because the utilities were buried too close to where they needed to place the drain! Thank you, Clint and Jose!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
In nearly all cases, you are required to install a vapor barrier in your crawl space. However, local regulations will change based on the local climate and the crawl space's susceptibility to moisture. Even if a vapor barrier is not legally required, it is often a good idea to keep your crawl space dry.
You don’t always need to install a dehumidifier in your encapsulated crawl space, but it might be a good idea in certain instances. If you notice obvious signs of condensation, mold, or musty smells permeating from your crawl space, a dehumidifier can help. It’s ideal for homes in humid areas.
In a worst case scenario, structural damage like rust on metal beams, rotting wood, and swelling on doors and windows can signal moisture problems that would benefit from a dehumidifier.
French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.
Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option.
To ensure your basement walls are waterproof, it's crucial to address any existing moisture issues before finishing. Inspect for signs of water seepage, such as dampness or discoloration, and repair any leaks or cracks. Install a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls, and consider waterproofing paints or coatings.
Proper drainage systems, such as interior or exterior waterproofing, can also be beneficial.
