3/30 Plumber returned to replace the 7 year old hot water heater with a new one. 4/17 Basement carpet was found to be wet again and water was in the pan under the hot water heater. Again, we were not home for a few days and found the leak when we came home. 4/18 Plumber came out and identified that the high pressure relief valve had opened and caused the water to drain into the pan as well as spray onto the carpet. We were told that when no one is home for a few days using the system, pressure can build up and the thermal expansion tank should compensate and take care of the additional water pressure. Since the heater is brand new the plumber suspected the tank did not leak, but that the thermal expansion tank did not perform properly. He found that the expansion tank was not pressurized to match the 50 psi house water pressure. The plumber pressurized the tank to 50 psi and then left. 4/18 I contacted the plumbing company to express concern and ask why the original tank was replaced given the two scenarios were identical before and after the tank was removed. I was told the original tank was thoroughly inspected and found to be leaking. We dispute this, but cannot prove it since the tank was removed by the plumber and discarded. I asked to speak with the owner but was only permitted to speak with the manager. The manager did call me and offered to have the carpets cleaned but was not willing to accept the possibility that the original leak was due to the pressure relief valve opening and remains firm that the tank leaked. If the tank leaked, why would the water not be contained in the leak tray, and how did the carpet get soaked?

"We were in the process of renovating our apartment and needed to apply for permits from the government, which required an architect-signed design drawing. Anthony came highly recommended. He took the time to visit our apartment and carefully understand the challenges we faced in obtaining the permits. After thoroughly reviewing the space and listening to our renovation ideas, he assured us that the project would be straightforward for him and that he could provide an architectural drawing that would not only meet our needs but also ensure we could pass inspection without any issues. Despite the project being relatively small, Anthony was more than willing to take it on and offered a very reasonable fee for his services.

"Bad Experience. Bait and Switched us. Told us the no more than cost of our removal verbally and then said he needed $4k to do the design with us and get final firm contract after that. I told him I was skeptical giving him $4k and then have him come back with contract stating it would cost a big percent more. He assured me “he is not that kind of guy”. Then after the design and a smaller scope he wanted to charge us 30% more. Took our money and we now have to start over with a new contractor."

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Jamison, PA
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
