"Jim and Jordan were both professional and honest. They worked with us on installing an interior french/foundation drain around half of our basement into an existing, outside sump pump and did not try to oversell us on adding a second sump pump (as other companies did). Their crew were all polite, efficient and hard workers and left the area clean and finished off in a professional manner. For years, every time there was sustained rain we would have water seeping into our basement. Since their installation, we have had sustained rain a number of times and the foundation drain has worked very well. No more water in the basement. I would highly recommend them."

"This past January (2021) my wife and I purchased an old farmhouse constructed in 1930. Most of the foundation including the perimeter sills, joyce supports, and central foundation beams were riddled with termite damage that had accumulated over decades of time (and neglect). Most of the subfloors were rotted as well. The piers holding up the floor supports in the crawlspace were in disrepair and in some cases falling apart. Prior to purchasing this house we contacted several foundation reconstruction services to assess the damage and recommend needed repairs. In essence, our testimony here completes a circle that began when we consulted Angie's list in search of foundation specialists back in January. Angie's list is how we found Uneven Floor Solutions and now we are adding our story to the other outstanding testimonies present on this website list. Impressed by the praise earned by this company, we contacted Masle Francisco Gamez (owner) and asked him for a bid. He visited the property and spent a considerable amount of time crawling around underneath the house assessing the damage and identifying the estimated costs of repairing the foundation. Based on information supplied by Masle we gained the confidence to purchase this house and to contract his company for the work. In effect, the house would be lifted up above the old foundation and replaced with all new treated lumber. The foundation piers were likewise removed and replaced with adjustable steel jack stands. The work was estimated to take two weeks and all work was finished on time. The rotted wood filled an entire refuge dumpster and was packed to the brim with rotted wood removed from under our house. We also asked the company to remove two sections of wall and to build two new entryways into the kitchen and living room. Masle and his crew were efficient and confident in their work and we are very satisfied with the strength of the foundation and the expectation that our house will serve us nicely for many decades to come. I would be glad to provide further testimony if needed but potential customers should be confident that Uneven Floor company will provide an excellent job for a competitive price. KWS"

"Mr Rooter called almost immediately and was at my home in less than 1 hour. Mr Rooter's technician Chris identified, cleared, and verified the blockage very quickly. After clearing the blockage, Chris set up a followup visit for the following week to pump out our septic tank and install a clean out fitting. We were very satisfied with all of the work."

"It took two days to tear out the old insulation under the bottom floor and install encapsulation in the whole crawlspace. Nick and his crew did quality work getting the job completed. They also patched holes in the foundation, hauled off all the old, dirty insulation and torn vapor barrier. All-in-all a very accommodating crew."

"I feel compelled to alter my review. Although the end product was not the prestine driveway I had hoped for, it was the best of the 3 driveways. Although my frustrations with my new build home have been exhausting, challenging and emotionally draining. In the end the pot boiled over and I took my frustrations out on DJ and Jacob. The home contractor poured the original driveway in temperatures in excess of 101 degrees, with in 12 hours the driveway was completely cracked and shattered. After 1.5 years the builder finally agreed to replace all the damaged driveways, sidewalks in the community. The builder then hired a contractor to redo the damaged concrete work. Unfortunately my driveway instead of being poured in one single pour was poured in three separate pours with lapse of pours between 45 minutes to 1 hour. They then sprayed water on the three different pours and attempted to blend them all together. Upon drying the driveway had Crazing the entire length of the driveway, major cosmetic issues where the pours were blended in addition to cold joints. The unsightlyness of the driveway in addition to numerous negative comments of neighbors encouraged me to once again redo the driveway this time at my expense. To-date I have spent over 40k repairing major issues with my home. Although almost every home in our community has had to deal with issues such as mine and some with issues far beyond my own, it did not.make dealing with those issues and costs any easier. DJ and Jacob did what they could to produce a quality product. My anxiety level was on high alert with this particular project. After the driveway dried to a white color and 2 months later when the gray dots appeared, all I could think of was here we go again. Knowing my anxiety level, a little more communication to try and explain what was causing these dots to occur and what if any thing could have been done if they continued, most likely would have prevented my response. For that I am truly sorry. Knowing that nothing in.life is perfect...i.was just hoping that for once something would go right and I could put it to rest. Once again Although the driveway did not meet my prestine expectations, in all fairness it was the best of the 3. Unfortunately in life you can not take back what you say. I do feel that I was unfair to DJ and Jacob and all that they do to assist their customers."

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.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

The cost to install landscape drainage varies widely based on the scope of the project and the severity of the drainage issues. Typically, this project’s cost falls somewhere between $2,000 and $7,000 overall. Small-scale projects or simple fixes may start at the lower end, while more extensive and complex solutions could reach the higher end of the range. To get an accurate estimate, you should obtain quotes from multiple companies, as they will assess your specific needs and provide a customized cost estimate based on the work required.

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.

You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. 

However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.
