"Please see the earlier review (3/12) for context. I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Mt. Valley Foundation Services regarding our sump pump installation. Overall, the team did an excellent job with both the initial installation and the subsequent repair of the discharge lines, which had come apart over time. They were professional, transparent, and truly seemed to care about the project. The only challenge I encountered was not with Mt. Valley Foundation Services itself, but rather with its parent company, Ground Works. From my experience, Ground Works has acquired many smaller foundation companies across the U.S., and it seems they may be struggling with logistical coordination. The call center they use is not very user-friendly, and I experienced multiple miscommunications and scheduling errors. Unfortunately, this puts Mt. Valley Foundation Services at the mercy of Ground Works' logistical issues. That said, I highly recommend working with Mt. Valley Foundation Services. My advice is to obtain the names and direct contact information of the service team when booking—this makes future communication significantly easier. Once I was able to reach the team directly, they went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. Living in a flood-prone area, I feel confident that the sump pump project they completed will be a tremendous benefit to our home and property. A big thanks to Danny (the manager) and his team for their outstanding work!"

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

It’s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that’s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.

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.

Installing a new sewer line costs between $50 and $250 per linear foot. Most sewer line insulation projects and up costing around $3,500 on average. Just how much your drain line will cost depends on the length of the pipes, the type of piping material, the depth, and any obstacles that may be in the way. For instance, excavating and working around trees or boulders will increase your costs.

A French drain should be anywhere from 8 inches to 24 inches deep. The ideal French drain depth is about 1 1/2 feet deep, but you can vary the depth depending on the slope angle you need for your pipe. Consult a local French drain installer to determine the right depth for your installation project.
