"From beginning thru end, Jeff and crew made the process very pleasant. There are going to be challenges in any complicated project, and we certainly ran into them in my 1973 home. Walls and ceilings that don't exactly line up anymore. Surprises discovered in the demolition. Original design that was not thought thru back in 1973. Vendors that deliver less than perfect pieces. JCS worked thru all these issues to reach workable solutions for me. Cost-wise, to sum it up, they charge a very reasonable price. They do the right thing. They handled extra issues while here, the "Plus" referring to remolding the adjoining den plus other issues that were on my "punch list" around the house. Jeff took care of all issues. He did not consider the job finished until every last issue was off the punch list. I believe his goal is to never end a ob without leaving a customer completely happy. The "Approximate cost of service" includes everything (cabinets, appliances, supplies on top of services). In my case, everything in the kitchen and dining room from head to toe was replaced. And many extras were done including adding a walk-out door. This was a very large job."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

The best way to keep dirt around your foundation is to ensure your drainage is working properly and redirecting water well away from the foundation. Soil erosion is one of the most common causes of basement flooding, so it’s important to make sure you’re retaining the soil you replaced after learning how to regrade around the foundation. In addition, your foundation planting can also help prevent erosion. For example, plant roots to help keep soil in place.

When installing a sewer line, you should consider other potential costs before starting your project. You should determine whether the work will require tree removal, driveway repair, or patio resurfacing.

Before you commit to these extra costs, you should ask your plumber if there’s any way you can avoid them.

The pipe size for French drains depends on whether the area collects large amounts of water and experiences heavy rainfall. Typically, a 4-inch perforated pipe is used for French drains. However, for heavily saturated areas, you may want to use a larger size, such as a 6-inch or 8-inch pipe. Consult your French drain installer for best results.

The best soil to put around a house foundation is fill dirt, which is soil that’s specifically designed for covering large areas and filling in holes. Don’t waste money regrading around your foundation with expensive topsoil. Use topsoil only for the last layer of soil, about 5 to 10 inches, so that when you do your foundation planting, your grass and plants will have the nutrients they need to grow.

The process is different for each type of drainage system. But no matter your drainage system type, you’ll have to start by digging a hole or trench. To install an effective French drain, for example, you’ll need to dig a trench, line it with filter fabric, pour gravel inside, hook up pipe connections, set the pipe, and cover it with gravel.

You can use shovels or rent a trencher, depending on the size of the trench or hole you’re digging. You generally don’t need a permit from the city to install a drainage system on your own property, but if the work involves changing a structure or electrical work, contact your municipality to check the requirements.
