We have been in business for over 27 years and have over 46 years of experience. We do basement waterproofing and structural repair. Lifetime warranties on waterproofing. Owner operated. Additional DBA - Fountain R S Home Improvements.

"This project couldn't have gone better. The responsiveness was great. The price was great. The turnaround time on a project that was somewhat of an emergency couldn't have been better. From initial contact, through quote, and to start of the work, it took less than 48 hours. The crew was on time, clean, very friendly and respectful, and the work looks great. Couldn't recommend these guys more and I will definitely be using them for all foundation / waterproofing work going forward."

"After many years of dealing with a damp, leaky basement and all of the headaches that come from it, I finally had enough and called AquaGuard. Everyone I spoke with from the first phone call into the office, to the owner Tom and crew were great! The install crew of Shawn, Clyde and Aaron are quite a team! They took care of my home like it was their own. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. I can't say enough about what a great group of people they are. My basement has never looked or smelled this good! I was embarrassed to have people see it before. Now, it is beautiful! The system has performed like a champ during the last several heavy rains and if you looked at my basement now, you would never know what a mess it was. Before, I was sopping up water, embarrassed by ugly stained walls and dealing with musty awful smells. Now, I enjoy going into my basement. I have peace of mind that my basement and home are protected. The price I paid for the service was very reasonable and well worth every penny. AquaGuard's reputation proceeds them. I read all of the wonderful reviews and can now add my own glowing review! Give AquaGuard a call! You will not be disappointed!"

In 1988 William Fenk Landscaping opened for business like many others, mowing lawns, trimming bushes, and building railroad tie retaining walls. In 1994, The company is renamed Wall King, Inc., a company devoted, dedicated, equipped, and manned specifically for retaining wall construction. Two decades of Residential and Commercial retaining wall installations has provided Wall King expertise in retaining wall systems beyond what is traditionally employed in Residential applications. We provide options not generally recognized by other contractors often resulting in superior design or more economical pricing. Providing turnkey design-build commercial retaining wall installations allows us to employ the same Engineering analysis and services for Residential wall projects requiring proper design and permitting. While retaining walls are our primary focus, we will install segmental concrete steps and concrete pavers inconjunction with a retaining wall installation. As you will see, our reviews consistently highlight the efficiency of our crews and the attention to detail. We operate one crew and do one job at a time, start to finish.

"Excellent. Price and quality were great."

"From the beginning to the end of the job was a PLEASURE to work with these people. Their quality of work is superb to any I have seen. In fact, plan on having them back for an additional project. Beginning with Jamie he was super polite and returned every phone call even being as busy as he is. The customer is obviously number one to this company and they cross all "T's" and dot all "I's" when doing their jobs. No shortcuts for these guys. Can honestly say they ALL take pride in their workmanship and the results show it. Plan on giving them referrals as many as I can since I too am in business and can refer as many people their way as I know NOBODY will ever be sorry they hired them to do their job. Look forward to the next project to be done. FANTASTIC JOB WELL DONE by FANTASTIC INDIVIDUALS! Thanks so much again! G. Holliday"

Matthews Wall Anchor Service has been serving homeowners in and around Pittsburgh, Youngstown and Cleveland for over 30 years. As a nationally recognized foundation repair and basement waterproofing contractor our services include basement waterproofing, foundation repair and basement wall repair. Matthews offers a variety of products and services to permanently correct basement and foundation problems. Award wining. Additional DBA - MWA Acquisition LLC .

"The salesperson David was very honest and had no interest in upselling. He strongly advised against any interior drains for my basement, and he instead recommended an exterior drain called HydroBlox for my backyard. The estimate for the HydroBlox was $3,400. The installation occurred a few weeks later. Three employees used a machine to dig a trench in my backyard, and then because of utility lines, they hand-dug another trench in my side yard. They installed the pieces of HydroBlox and covered them with dirt. I expect the HydroBlox to properly drain the water from my yard, but if they do not, then I will update my review in the future."

Adler tree service was founded in 1978 by William (Bill) Adler. Bill built the "1-man" company by providing great service at a great price with a personal touch. That is still true today. Although larger and able to provide a wider range of services, we at adler tree still focus on the "personal touch" when working with our customers. Our pricing structure and capabilities enable us to really mean "no tree too big and no job too small." The majority of our work comes from repeat customers that include: airports; golf courses; municipalities; penndot and a host of homes though out western pennsylvania. Repeat business in the tree industry is hard to accomplish as many of our customers only need us once every few years. We work very hard to do a great job that you will remember us for the next time you need tree work performed. Because of our skilled workers and equipment, we conduct some of the most technically difficult and dangerous tree work in the area. At the same time, we're also there to prune Ms. Maggie's trees in the fall. In all cases, our dedicated workers will perform the job safely and clean-up the job site when we are done. We have a certified arborist on staff and will be happy to provide you with a free estimate for completing your work. We look forward to the opportunity to reach new customers and will happily provide you with references to gain your confidence in our company's ability to do your work.

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, professional installations include trenching or borehole drilling required for ground loops.

Excavation is priced in cubic yards, so you’ll need to find the volume of the area in order to calculate costs. Multiply the length, width, and proposed depth of your excavation site, then convert it into yards to get the volume. Multiply this figure by the price per cubic yard.

Most homeowners can measure by hand to get a rough estimate, even if it’s tedious. You may want to pull out a tape measure or use a string to help mark the area.

Digging a well can cost between $20 and $25,000, depending on your needs. If you’re looking to dig a well yourself, all you need is a shovel. If you’re looking to have a well drilled by a professional, you can expect to pay around $15 to $30 per foot. The total cost of drilling a well will average to $5,500.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Depending on the severity of the freeze and the method used, thawing frozen underground pipes can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours. Applying heat directly to the pipe using heat tape, infrared lamps, or hot water jetting can speed up the process. However, patience and careful monitoring are key to avoiding pipe damage.
