"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.  "

Drain Pipe Installation questions, answered by experts

The spin cycle on your washer should initiate draining, but if you still find leftover water in the washing machine tub, you may need to drain it manually. To manually drain a washing machine, you’ll need to turn off the power supply and locate the drain hose, filter, and pump. Open or disconnect these parts and let the water drain into a bucket.

The most common cause of a clogged sump pump is natural debris buildup. As water enters the sump pit, it can carry small pieces of debris that build up over time, or the debris can get caught in the filter. If you forget to cover the pit after cleaning the sump pump and pit, debris can also collect in the pit. Corrosion on the metal discharge pipe can also clog the pump. Additionally, if your pipes freeze, it can prevent water from draining properly and cause a clog.

If your drain doesn’t have metal crosshairs or crossbars, you should use a tub drain extractor. These tools create a grip on the drain so you can turn it using a 1/2-inch ratchet drive, drain key, or wrench. Your drain may not have crosshairs if it's old and broken.

It is generally not recommended to pour hot or boiling water down a drain to unfreeze pipes due to significant risks. In some cases, the sudden temperature change can cause more ice buildup or produce steam, which increases pressure and could cause the pipe to burst, leading to costly damage and potential burn injuries. While hot water might help with a partially frozen drainpipe, it is unlikely to thaw a completely blocked water pipe further down the system. Additionally, boiling water can damage plastic pipes over time. Safer and more effective methods include using a space heater near the frozen section or applying hot towels directly to the pipe.

Clogged pipes are one of the top signs your water heater is about to fail. Potential symptoms of excess sediment buildup include not enough hot water, leaks, unusual noises, low water pressure, and discoloration or odors in the water.
