"Wow! Unbelievable! If we ever have a water problem again, Pioneer will be the only waterproofing company that we call. We were getting some water in our basement which has a stack-stone foundation and radiant floor heating. We interviewed three companies and were particularly concerned about a solution that would stop the water without compromising the radiant tubes that were in the floor. Initially, Pioneer recommended a baseboard system that would run along the outside of the wall. Upon inspection, Mike Oliveira discussed a traditional drain to sump pump solution. We reiterated our concern about puncturing a tube in the floor and Mike assured us that he and his team would hand chisel potential problem areas to avoid the tubing. Moreover, this solution would save us roughly $2K and give us a lifetime guarantee vs. a 25 year guarantee on the baseboard system. The team showed up on time, cleared a 50' span of concrete by Noon, uncovered two sections of radiant tubing without puncturing the line, installed the moisture barrier, sump pump and new concrete by 4 p.m. They had to drill through a hefty header board to connect the pump line to an existing drainage line that carries water away from home and that was completed by 5:30 p.m. Mike came back in a week and we tested the fix using free-flow from our sprinkler system -- it worked perfectly. Subsequently we've had some consistent spring rain and absolutely no water in the basement. The team (including sales, service, billing, installation) was professional, courteous and available when we had questions. They saved us money, fixed our problem and provided a lifetime guarantee. We're both ecstatic and amazed!"

"The team at Nature Redesigned, including owner Joe Shaw, were top notch and professional from beginning to end. To start, I spent weeks in the early summer of 2021 trying to get a landscaper to return my calls and eventually visit my property. It was brutal. Either I would never hear back or when I did, I was told it would be months before someone would be available. When I contacted Nature Redesigned, Joe quickly followed up and scheduled a review of my property. We requested all new plant beds around the house and asked that our patio be power-washed and new polymeric sand be put in. Within two weeks Joe and his team were here getting the work done. When the team was working on the patio, they noticed water gushing up from under each tile as it was stepped on. It turns out that every time it rained, the water under the patio was never draining away correctly. I was concerned that if it was left in this condition and the soil underneath eroded year after year, the patio would eventually become uneven and/or collapse. The team at Nature Redesigned immediately had a plan for how to correct the issue and put in a new drain system the next day. Since my wife and I were not confident determining which plants would be appropriate, Joe took that responsibility and made sure that what we had would add a variety of color, be resistant to animals nibbling, and would thrive based on where they were positioned in the yard. His team were also quick to address any minor issues that arose. Everyone on the Nature Redesigned team was competent, courteous, and professional. I would highly recommend that anyone who is looking to have landscaping work done, whether for repairing damage or for adding new items (plants, patio, etc.), contact Joe Shaw and his team at Nature Redesigned."

"My bathtub drain was clogged. Unfortunately, my trusted plumber of many years had retired and moved away. I looked around on the internet and somewhat randomly chose Fellowship Plumbing & Mechanical to call. Kyle showed up the next day and went to work with his power auger. Unfortunately, the bath being on the second floor resulting in lots of pipe twists and turns, the auger was unable to make the turns required to unclog the trap. The possibility now came up that he might have to come up through the ceiling on the first floor to unclog the pipe. That would have likely resulted in damage to the kitchen cabinets. So the possibility was there that this would cost me many thousand of dollars and great inconvenience. But "Wait" Kyle said, "I've got one last chance possibility". He left my house and returned a while later with a chemical only available to contractors. After 15 minutes or so, I heard a gasp of joy and the pipe was unclogged. The water is now draining at a rate not seen in years. Kyle recommended that I replace the bathtub drain strainer cover with a hair catcher strainer, which I have done. So, hopefully, I won't need a plumber in the foreseeable future, but if I do, I'll definitely call Fellowship Plumbing & Mechanical."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

No, homeowners insurance policies do not typically cover sump pump installation. However, some companies may offer incentives in the form of discounts or reduced premiums if homeowners install sump pumps. Insurance companies do this because sump pumps can reduce water damage claims. You may also be able to obtain enhanced water-backup coverage after installing a sump pump.

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.

The type of stormwater drainage system you need depends on your area’s storm severity and frequency. Your property’s location should also be considered, including the surrounding soil type, nearest roads, existing drainage systems, and slopes and hills. Your property’s structure, such as decks, walkways, crawl spaces, and foundation, also affects what drainage system will work the best.

Some sump pumps are powered by water rather than electricity. Water-powered sump pumps generally use one gallon of city water to pump out two gallons of water from its basin. Therefore, if you're looking at a potential 10,000-gallon flood, your sump pump will need to use 5,000 gallons of city water to prevent it.
