"Kevin was awesome. I had a greenhouse whose base blocks were crumbling out from under it. The greenhouse was a large glass structure, and there was no way it was able to be removed from the foundation. Kevin came up with an innovative approach to save our structure! He was able to give me firm estimate after the first visit and performed the work without issue. He took the time to make sure the work was done properly and even spent extra time making sure the final appearance was neat and transitioned smoothly. He takes pride in his work and it shows. I am already planning on hiring Kevin again for more projects."

"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!"

"John installed a new bathroom faucet, sink drain, supply lines and shutoff. He showed up on time and gave me a quote which I accepted. He said he could do the work right away and an hour and a half later he was finished. He was very pleasant to work with and I'm planning to have him do more work for me. His business card is now the only plumber I have on my refrigerator."

"I was looking for a plumber to help out my mom at her condo. Her garbage disposal was not working and her sink was clogged. I drove Josh (the owner) crazy with back and forth phone calls. He was extremely busy but took the time to respond to all my calls. He is really a stand up guy! He made a few minutes to swing by and look at my moms kitchen sink. He identified the issue and fixed it right away. We will be purchasing a new dishwasher in the next few weeks and Josh will be the go to guy to do the job. He was a very nice guy, and very respectful to my mom. I highly recommend this guy. He is very hard working, courteous and honest. (That is very hard to find!) 5 stars across the board."

"I've used Nature Redesigned Landscaping for multiple projects at both our home in Providence and our Bristol Rental property. These projects were extensive and included: - Providence: designed and installed new landscaping in our front yard with a beautiful array of plants, trees and flowers; built new sidewalks & walkways, repaired brick steps, and created a new side-yard drainage system to eliminate a troublesome basement leak. - Bristol: re-graded yard and planted new sod in both front & back yards, created a new gravel parking area with a cobblestone border, repaired & sealed foundation cracks, and built a new drainage system to redirect water away from the house. Joe and his team do exceptional work on a timely basis and at a competitive price. Joe is a responsive communicator, a good-natured business leader, and pleasure to work with. I will definitely continue to use his services in the future."

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.

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.

In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn’t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary.

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.
