"Half of my project was installing and burying a drainage line to pull water away from my home. Brandon, Sergio, and Terrence did an exceptional job! From the moment they arrived, until completion, they were very courteous and willing to explain any and all questions I had. They even installed and buried an additional drain line from my gutter downspout next to the drain line they were installing and connected it to the yardwell along with their drain line. I would definitely recommend Mount Valley based on the work and character of each of these guys. They reflect good on this company!"

"The job was done professionally with them managing the work time, so our manufactured home would be completely, as the stairs and skirt needed to be done shortly after their work was done. We reviewed other businesses and found the requested funds were way lower than anyone else. We found nothing that was concerning."

"Forgot to add my review from April 2020. They replaced water inlet valve (which took about 7 minutes total) and charged me $150. I asked about if they could do it cheaper and I was told "No". Will look for someone else next time."

"We were disappointed to learn that the home we recently purchased had major mold issues in our crawlspace. We learned after several estimates that the crawlspace issue had not been properly addressed, after we noticed significant moldy, musty odors in our bathroom.
An inspection of the crawlspace revealed the need for immediate mold remediation and repair of our space. We contacted and received estimates from four crawlspace companies, and were far and away impressed the most with Crawl Space Doctor, which now has an office/operation in Charlotte (their address still shows as Savannah, GA).
The owner of the company, Greg McBride visited our home, explained their services, and gave us a very competitive estimate for the work. In addition the materials he offered were of higher quality with being priced at either the same or slightly lower price than all other estimates.
Greg also offers a world-class guarantee, and offers an annual recheck of the work at no cost; he also made a minor repair of the crawlspace dehumidifier at no cost to us.
Greg's crew arrived on time, along with Greg, who regularly returned to check in on the work and his crew's progress. His gentlemen worked extra hours, and did a world-class job throughout the job.  Greg periodically checked in with us, to explain the job status/progress, and answered all our questions.  He obviously knows his business, and also joined with his crew in the crawlspace periodically, to check on the work and their progress.
We researched our options carefully, received 4 estimates from leading companies. Greg and Crawl Space Doctor were far and away the most impressive.
We enthusiastically recommend Crawl Space Doctor should you need work in your crawlspace.

Sump Pump Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible to install a sewage ejector pump outside rather than in a basement. However, there may be some extra steps involved, including running pipes from the inside to the outside of your home and digging (and re-filling) a hole for the basin. If you aren’t comfortable with this type of work, contact a plumbing pro to handle it for you.

A water pressure booster doesn't require special maintenance. Like any house system, inspections should be a regular part of your annual schedule. Check for leaks, faulty valves, pressure loss, and mineral build-up. Pressure loss could be a result of mineral build-up, and you can descale the system with a vinegar and water solution.

To maintain your sump pump, start by checking it every three to four months to ensure it’s in working order. Clear any debris from the pit because blockages can prevent the pump from operating efficiently. You should also test the pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit. If it turns on automatically and drains the water, it’s functioning correctly. Inspect the discharge line for clogs, and ensure it directs water away from your home. Once a year, clean the pump itself, and consider having it professionally serviced for optimal performance.

You shouldn’t shower while a sump pump isn’t working. Although household wastewater isn’t supposed to go into the sump pit, it’s best to wait to shower until your sump pump is running properly and able to move excess water out of the basement. If you need to shower when the sump pump isn’t working, aim for a short shower.

Costs range from $300 to $1,200, depending on the pump type, issue, and installation complexity.
