"They leveled our sagging floors beautifully and installed a drain system with a sump pump to address basement flooding issues. All was done with punctuality, precision, and professionalism. Additionally, the price was very reasonable especially compared to competitors. Highly recommend."

"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!"

"We truly enjoyed our experience with Crawlspace Medic and would highly recommend them to everyone.  Columbia has has many periods of intense rain in the past couple of years, and we were tired of having most of it come into our house.  Working with Jon and Evan was very easy.  Our only regret was that we tried fixing it ourselves too many times and should have called them sooner.  At our recent annual home termite checkup, the inspector said that it was one of the best looking drains that he's ever seen.  That is a testament to the work done by Paul & Russell.  I can honestly say that we can sleep easier because of the work that Crawlspace Medic did at our house...especially when it's raining!"

"Based on his inspection and my description of the problem, he recommended trying an inexpensive modification to the landscape around the vulnerable point in the foundation before considering All Dry's more expensive interior correction.  I've still got his card on file if the exterior work doesn't do the trick.  No charge for the visit.

"Online advertisements for providers offering polylevel work for the Augusta, GA, region is quite sparse. I went with Cantey Foundation Specialists because their website appeared the most professional. I initiated contact through their website in early March. Due to a vacation and work schedule,I was unable to schedule an estimate until 4 weeks later, so the timeliness for the initial appointment was my fault. Nonetheless, a week before their representative's arrival, Cantey Foundation Specialists sent a package with a picture and bio of their representative in addition to some brochures on the polylevel process. The representative called to verify the appointment a few days before. 
On the appointment day, the representative drove over a 100 miles and was right on schedule. After introducing himself, we went to the backyard where we had a questions-and-answers exchange. Shortly after, he set about surveying the work area. This took some time as he was measuring the square footage of the area to be re-leveled which ended up being 396 sq ft total (area plus material costs). The initial cost estimate was $4,752 ($12 per sq ft), but, after an offer of reducing the price by 10%, the price was lowered to $4,276.80 ($10.80 per sq ft). Now, there's an upfront 20% deposit ($855.36), which is reasonable, but it turns out they're quite busy--actual work could only be scheduled in just over 7 weeks...mid-July. Until then, I hope there won't be too many stubbed toes and mama bear stink-eyes thrown at me.
Along with the contract, a warranty was included. It's a 5-year warranty which is transferable to new owners. Basically, if the worked area drops 1/4" or more, Cantey will fix the problem.

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.

Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on the system and site conditions.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

There are a few possible sump pump drainage locations, including a neighborhood storm drain, into a creek or pond, or underground. Don’t let your sump pump water go into your sewer or septic system. Ideally, your drainage spot should be on a downhill slope that’s at least 10 to 20 feet away from your home’s foundation. Before choosing a location, check your local codes and regulations.
