Because there was a slow leak, I was turning the water off at the main, unless I was bathing or washing clothes and dishes. Consequently, I considered it an emergency, or at least an urgent need for service. When the first young man showed up, he agreed that re-piping would be the best answer. He called for backup, as he was not able to give me an estimate. They left things as they were, and said they would get back to me with an estimate. Two + week later, I got a bill for "Checked and located leak in basement. Reported to customer." Well, I knew where the leak was, so that is not accurate. For walking into the basement and looking at the pipe, I was charged an amazing amount of money, and still do not have an estimate. Needless to say, I will use another plumber.

Needed a repair of a slow leak in what appeared to be main water supply line. Above & Beyond identified and repaired the leak. Great work, friendly, professional and courteous. Two thumbs up !
Overall, I am satisfied. The repair was delayed due to the unavailability of a correctly sized tool to seal off the water from the house while a new connection was soldered on. Attempts to do it without the tool resulted in delays while the water drained and a small leak. After the correct...

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts
The best basement waterproofing method depends on the issue you’re trying to solve. For example, if you have standing water on your basement floor, a floor drain or sump pump might be your best solution. Or, if you have standing water around your foundation, installing a drainage system that protects your basement and foundation might be better.
Water that pools on concrete indicates a low spot somewhere on your driveway. You can level the slab with a concrete patching compound to help redirect water. You can also install drainage over existing concrete by digging out enough space for a channel drain or French drain or by adding a culvert below the slab.
Although waterproofing your basement may not directly increase the value of your home, it will protect the value you already have by preventing water damage. A basement without any signs of water will be more appealing to prospective home buyers. A leaky basement is a major red flag during a home inspection, and it will likely reduce the amount that buyers are willing to pay.
In some cases, operating a snake can damage your drain and pipes. This depends on the overall condition of your pipes and how gently you operate the auger. For instance, older galvanized pipes covered in zinc are susceptible to scratches when using a drain snake. Additionally, it’s common for newbies to apply too much force when extending the snake, leading to scratches and related damage. You can also crack the porcelain with an electric auger if you’re snaking a toilet drain. If you’re using a manual snake or auger, the risk is minimal.
Mold and mildew are the things in basements that actually cause the musty odors, but moisture is the underlying issue that causes mold and mildew growth. Addressing moisture and water problems and then removing materials that are moldy are some of the best ways to get rid of the musty odors. Preventive measures after that—like installing air fresheners and a dehumidifier—can help keep musty odors from returning.
