"Bill and his crew exceeded our expectations. Both our water damaged basement and our failing garage foundation required a change in course and they communicated options and provided excellent and economic solutions. They arrived early and stayed late 6 days a week to work around our weather. They provided extras as we went along and worked through some tough weather conditions. The daily communication was the best. Their prices saved us so much money. Their clean-up left our place in better condition than when they arrived. This company is going places. We will use them for any future needs."
"TJ was very thorough in his explanation of the project and giving us our options. The installation of the spray foam exceeded our expectations. He worked around our remodel and is willing to come back in phases as we complete a room and shuffle our belongings. We appreciate the communication, flexibility and professional quality of his work."

"They came on time and were very confident about getting this issue resolved. At the beginning they were going to charge me 200.00. So as they were trying there best and with no success they pulled the toilet and then they recommended that this unit needed to be replaced. They quoted me there price and they recommended me to go and get one from Menards due to it being cheaper. They took the old toilet for me and explained all that I needed if I wanted to install it myself. I accepted the challenge and I did exactly what they told me to get and do. The best part was that. They actually only charged me 65.00 due to them being unable to resolve my issue. And I'm very pleased with there professionalism and shooting me straight. I would highly recommend them."
"We had a concrete sidewalk, steps and a back porch designed and poured by Dowden Creative Construction. The patio included a hot tub area and we are very pleased with how everything turned out. We are also very happy that we used their design as they incorporated proper slopes and a French drain system. Without that extra planning, we surely would have had drainage problems. There were no problems at all, and our lives are now very pleasant in our beautiful back yard."

"Dereck and his team were timely. They removed two large trees and hauled off the limbs. Next, they tore out a rock driveway and spread that rock on the side of our home as requested. Next, they poured a new, perfectly sloped concrete driveway using a rebar. Again, it was all quite timely and better priced than other bids. Thank You!"
Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.
Gravity can make it difficult to make plumbing work in a garage if your plumbing is lower than your drainage point. Fortunately, there are ways to create drainage when adding a bathroom to a sunken garage. Plumbers will recommend using an upflush system that discharges into a pump from the back of the toilet.
No, you can’t drain your sump pump into your home’s sewer system. In fact, it’s against the law in many places because dumping extra water into a municipal water system can disrupt or overwhelm the treatment process. And for similar reasons, you shouldn’t discharge a sump pump into your septic system, either.
Methods include interior sealants, exterior excavation and waterproofing membranes, sump pump installation, and vapor barriers for encapsulation. Techniques vary based on the structure and severity of moisture issues.
Your sump pump will discharge water through a discharge line or pipe. The discharge line should be placed at least 10–20 feet from the foundation to avoid any issues.
