Get matched with top foundation drain installation pros in Exton, PA

"This work took place in my parents' basement, which is filled with decades' worth of stuff.  We'd always had water in the basement after heavy rains.  Sometimes it was just a matter of a damp floor or a puddle in one corner, but other times there was so much standing water that they could fill and empty a large Shop Vac more than once.  After years of my parents coping with the water themselves, we are preparing to sell the home, and we knew that buyers might be scared away by a damp/wet basement.  So I researched local basement waterproofing companies on Angie's List, and after obtaining two quotes from highly regarded companies, we decided to hire AJ.  

On the appointed day, AJ and crew arrived on time and immediately got to work moving items away from the walls.  They wrapped the items in the center and the stairway leading up to the main floor of the house to prevent dust intrusion.  They temporarily installed fans to blow out dust  while using the jackhammer.

They chiseled out a trench, neatly channeled around two water tanks next to the wall, hauled out the broken concrete, and drilled holes in the cinderblock foundation for the water to drain into the trench.  They set the perforated PVC drain pipe and backfilled with crushed stone, installed a membrane on the wall to direct any other water into the trench, installed a sump pump, and installed plumbing to discharge water to the outside of the home.  All of this took several hours.  I didn't watch every step of the process, but they called me downstairs to show me their progress after having sprayed down the walls with an antimicrobial substance.  At that point they were in the process of backfilling over the crushed stone bed with concrete.  The concrete work was neatly done and the crew cleaned up all the plastic sheeting they had used.  

It seemed to me that the crew worked efficiently together.  There didn't seem to be any lag time because there were always multiple tasks being completed at the same time.  I think that's how the entire job could be completed in one day.  It's a relief to finally have this problem addressed and I feel confident that this basement will not have water intrusion problems anymore.  "

"Hired them for 3 projects I have installed this basement waterproofing solution in 2 homes. System speaks for itself. Nothing better on the market. Work was first rate. Expectations were presented prior to the project. Details on what would happen and how the project would go. Would not hesitate to use again ERV installed New basement egress. This project did not go as planned, but not at the fault of basement systems. Was originally supposed to get a BILCO door but due to unforseen issues, that was not able to happen. They ended up installing a new staircase from my basement to ground level. Work was first rate and ended up better than a bilco door. Company re landscaped and everything is as it was. All work performed was top notch and no issues on anything they have done"

"Had a good experience overall. They had an opening in the schedule so were able to start quickly. Property had some plumbing buried in the floor that the crew had to work around and it was all done without any issues. Crew was professional and easy to work with. Haven't had any water issues since the drain and sump were installed several months ago--despite several big rains."

"Highly recommend Apex Drain! Anthony arrived quickly, diagnosed the issue, and fixed our clogged drain immediately. Anthony was very professional and reliable."

"Scott and John were great. They both were very knowledgeable and worked with us giving us the best solution for our drainage issues. The team who did the work were very professional. The job was done within a few hours. They cleaned up the job site to the point where it looked better than when they started. I would highly recommend this company."

"Tucker was very responsive and completed my foundation coating to eliminate water penetration in a timely fashion."

"In the last few years, we've been getting huge puddles of water all over our basement floor. Never happened before. Some stretched all the way across the floor. Took hours of work with a shop vac to suck it up and days for the floor to dry. In mid-September, we hired Once & Done Waterproofing. They had the lowest price and specialize in our kind of problem. Work was completed in just one day and very tidily done. Very hard-working crew. But it was a leap of faith waiting to see if that work would be successful. Didn't rain for weeks after the sump pump system was installed beneath our basement floor. Weâ ve now had two really heavy rains. The floor remained bone dry after each of them. A little bit of water still did come in at the base of the outside basement entrance, as expected, but it got no further than the drain they installed in the floor at the door. The real test may not come until next springâ s monsoon season. But so far, so good. Based on preliminary results, I would not hesitate to hire them."

"Travis went above and beyond to deliver great service. He took pictures of what he saw going on in the crawl space. He patiently and carefully explained those issues to me. He is very knowledgeable. When it’s time to service the dehumidifier next year, I will be sure to ask for him."

"Jon Broomall and Anthony Miller of Delaware Plumbing Pros did a great job.They we’re punctual, respectful and did an excellent job putting new lines and drains in our bathroom. Highly recommend!"

"I'm not fully moved into the home yet, but I will update when I am there permanently. The crew was very professional, worked diligently, cleaned up after every day of work (three day job--french drain expansion, two additional sump pumps installed, window drains into the sump pumps, pretty extensive job)."
