"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."

"Both jobs went well. Dennis reviewed the shower job with me. There was no drywall access in place, so after examining our home's floor plan, he showed me where to cut open and frame an access panel. I completed this prior to his arrival, and it worked well for his valve removal and installing a new Moen fixture. Dennis then replaced our outdated toilet with a Mansfield elongated toilet. Both jobs were completed in a professional, workmanship manner."
"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."
"Patriot Plumbing arrived promptly, diagnosed the problem, provided a verbal estimate and began work all on the same day. They replaced the bath fixtures in the upstairs bathroom and a pipe that was leaking. Travis also installed a water heater overflow tank. They stuck to their estimate and completed the work in a timely manner, but did leave us with open holes in the drywall to dry out the water damage and later silicone the hatches in ourselves. The hole for the new access hatch was cut a bit too big, so we'll have to patch that with spackle ourselves."
"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
Yes, it is generally unhealthy and can be dangerous to live in a damp basement. The damp air can negatively affect your breathing and lungs, and the moisture promotes mold growth and pest infestations. Inhaling mold spores or waste particles from insects and rodents attracted to the moisture can be hazardous. This damp, moldy air can also circulate into your main living area. It is crucial to resolve any moisture problems and implement preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.
The least expensive basement waterproofing methods include grading soil away from your home, installing downspout extenders on your gutter system, and applying a waterproof paint on the interior of the foundation walls. Installing a French drain is a relatively inexpensive method if you do the work yourself, although it’s labor-intensive and can be challenging to install properly.
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.
In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn’t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary.
Yes, you can install a sump pump yourself. By following the steps above, you can have a sump pump installed in 24 hours. You will have to use some advanced tools and techniques, so if you feel uneasy about taking it on yourself, it’s best to hire a professional.
