The problem with most "pros"? Too many bad habits.\nIt's easy to get swept away in the day to day monotony, even for those that call themselves "pros". When it comes to hiring a heating and cooling technician, nobody wants to deal with being treated like a sale rather than a person, the use of scare tactics instead of education, or someone who just wants to get to job done quickly instead of correctly. \nAll our HVAC pros go through 5 years of HVAC schooling, for a total of 10,000 hours of on-the-job training. And it's not just technical training either; it's training that focuses on you, on making you feel comfortable every step of the way. We will roll out the red carpet for you, both figuratively and literally.\nRed Carpet Treatment\nDuring every visit to a home, we lay out an actual red carpet to prevent any additional mess. But what may be even more important than just protecting your home is making sure you feel like you've received the best in customer service.

"These guys were very quick to get in and get the work done. Though they were efficient enough to complete the work quickly without cutting the corners. This project was kind of worst case scenario for a homeowner, and G&J made it as painless as a foundation rebuild can possibly be. I would highly reccomend them!"

"First of all, I want to thank EverDry for giving me a waterproof basement. The guys worked hard for 5 days and did such heavy, messy work. I can't imagine such hard labor for 5 days at my house and then, very soon, going on to another job that was just as physically taxing. Steve did a great job covering the floors and my belongings with plastic to make sure, every day, that everything was still covered. And whoever did the encapsulation underneath the steps going down to the basement did a stellar job. There was some tweaking to do with the rest of the encapsulation so they came back to work on it and now it looks great. They'll be coming back to smooth out the dirt and remove stones and pebbles underneath the front porch, the front lawn and around the perimeter of the house when the weather is more predictable. Matthew, the owner, was even kind enough to pay for boarding 2 of my kitties that would have gotten underfoot that week. The guys were here January 8-12. Unfortunately, the process of digging up and unplugging the down spout drain was not explained to me, whereby the run-off pipe could be connected to it, taking the water under the sidewalk and onto the street. Instead, the pipe was routed up the basement wall and connected to a pipe outside that they placed 10 inches or so underground, stopping at the edge of a small embankment overlooking the sidewalk. When the foreman showed me what had been done, I knew it wasn't right. I knew that water would spill out of the pipe, directly onto the sidewalk. The next morning, January 13, ice was covering a good part of the sidewalk and I had to call the City to quickly have 3 orange cones placed on the ice. I called a plumber and they came over immediately to have this corrected. The only thing that could be done was to reroute the sump pump line to the sewer drain, which is allowed where I live. As I stated, I didn't have it routed to the down spout drain as it had not been explained to me; I didn't know it had to be dug up and unplugged. A week later, Roy, the Project Manager, came up to assess all that had gone on. He made a list of all that needed to be done. I had a friend with me, a retired contractor, and he heard all that was said between Roy and me. I asked Roy to pay the plumber bill for rerouting the sump pump line to the main drain. He agreed to pay it and my friend will wholeheartedly vouch for that. Roy and I continued to talk about other issues, eventually summarizing what was discussed. I asked him again about the bill. I remember that he lowered his head, shut his eyes briefly, nodded yes and said yes, to confirm that he would pay the bill. I asked him if I should email the invoice to Matthew and he said, no, that he had a separate email address for the Service Department, which he gave me. I remember writing it on the paper I had in my hand. I emailed the invoice to him that same day, January 22, using the Service Department address. I would never have known to use that email address if Roy hadn't given it to me, I have the email to prove it. Therefore, I was surprised to receive a past due bill from the plumber. I sent an email to Accounting, Matthew and Roy, thinking that perhaps their payment and the past due bill crossed in the mail. Roy called me and stated that he never said he would pay the bill. I very nicely disagreed; I didn't want to argue. I was going to let it go entirely but it wouldn't be right if I did. I called and emailed Matthew this week to discuss, I still hope to hear from him. Roy also thought that I was asking him to pay to have the down spout drain dug up and unplugged. I never asked him to pay that and I would never expect him to do so; that is my responsibility. On February 2, when Matthew fully explained to me the procedure involving the down spout drain, I had the work done, EverDry came up February 19, connected it all, the run-off is going under the sidewalk and onto the street. I would like nothing better than to have the aforementioned bill paid and a good relationship with EverDry."

"It went extremely well. Tim was very quick to return my call and came out the next day that I was available. He was very knowledgeable and made sure to explain everything as he went. He replaced the old steel pipe with PVC and also replaced the drain for my sink in my laundry room. He also glued together all of the joints for my condensation line for my A/C so they wouldn't leak anymore. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will use them for any of my future plumbing needs."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.

Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.

Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.

By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.

For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.

DIY is possible for small systems like French drains. Professional installation ensures proper grading and long-term effectiveness.

A sump pump's lifespan is typically 7 to 10 years, though the general range can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years. The specific type of pump is a major factor: pedestal sump pumps last an average of 20 to 25 years, whereas submersible sump pumps last between 5 and 15 years. While pedestal pumps are less expensive to service, they are also louder and more prone to clogging.

Several other factors influence longevity, including the pump's quality, usage frequency, and maintenance schedule. A high-quality pump that is well-maintained in a dry climate may last for two decades, while a lower-quality, poorly maintained pump in an area with a high water table or frequent flooding may fail in six years or less.

Regular maintenance, including annual inspections and tuneups from a professional, can significantly extend the pump's life. It is time to consider a replacement if your sump pump runs constantly, cycles frequently, shows visible rust or corrosion, or trips a circuit breaker. As a preventative measure, many homeowners replace their pumps every eight years. It's also worth noting that a manufacturer's warranty can indicate expected lifespan, and some home insurance policies may not cover water damage from a pump that is past its recommended replacement date.

A range of certified professionals can install French drains, from foundation specialists to plumbers. However, you’ll want to make sure that the professional has a breadth of experience installing the specific type of drain you need in or outside your home. Your contractor should also have experience with sump pumps, waterproofing, and flood-proof landscaping.
