"Eli came by and viewed my area the same day of my inquiry. I discussed with him what I wanted. I needed a foundation constructed for my shed. He was friendly and detailed, explaining what he could accomplish. His price was very fair! He and his crew/family arrived promptly on the day that he promised to be here. They completed the entire job within the same day. Afterwards, Eli made sure that I was satisfied with the work that they had completed. They did an awesome job! I plan to hire them again in the future for additional projects and recommend them wholeheartedly! Thank you so much, CQS Construction, Eli, and Company!"

"Garrett’s Plumbing was a life saver. I have a copper waterline on the ice maker of my old refrigerator. No delivery company wanted to install the new refrigerator because of the copper waterline. Garrett’s plumbing came, assessed and fixed the problem. Now I’m just waiting for delivery of the new refrigerator. Thank you Garrett’s Plumbing."

"If you are looking for an electrical company you can genuinely trust, I highly recommend SALT. I contacted them after a wire was cut by the foundation company I hired. The foundation company ended up making repairs that couldn't be accessed and were unsafe for a variety of reasons. Zak, Justin, and the SALT team were thorough, responsive, honest, and incredibly generous with their time. They went above and beyond to help investigate it, explain everything clearly, and make sure the final solution was safe and completed correctly. What impressed me most was their integrity. They visited the property twice and spent hours of their time working on unraveling the situation caused by the foundation company, even without and obligation to do so. They were not willing to take the same shortcuts the foundation company did and truly cared about protecting my home and making sure I understood exactly what was happening. Price matters when hiring a contractor, but trust, safety, and accountab"

"I was a bit skeptical based on some of the reviews that I read but am very happy with the work Gomez Landscaping did; keeping in mind that I am a very critical, analytical person. My neighbor actually got the two quotes (this one being the better quote by about $300) as we were splitting the cost. We had flooding in the shared space between our houses and on the other side of the fences in our backyards (that are next to each other). Misael came out and completed a thorough review and provided a plan and quote on the spot (with formal documents following the next day). We quickly made our decision and moved forward. The very next day we paid the 50% deposit and scheduled the work (about 2 weeks out). The team arrived on time and immediately began work. They worked VERY hard - as our "soil" is basically rock and debris from Pulte when they built the house. They had to do quite a bit of pickaxing to get through enough to lay the pipe. The drain boxes look professional. The black rock is clean and aesthetically pleasing (especially when wet - so pretty). I am excited to see the boxes and drain in action when it rains next. I am already planning the next project and will be reaching out once I am ready to discuss."

"Julian Rangel and team are experts at what they do. I have rental properties and my primary residence and have used them now 5 times for roots in my pipes, broken lines that needed a camera, drain cleanouts, and soft water system installs. I will always use Texas Drain Specialists for my plumbing needs. I give them a strong endorsement and recommendation. Thank you - Jon"

Foundation Drain Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, many people choose to bury their sump pump discharge pipes. When you leave the pipe visible in your yard, you might trip over it or accidentally damage it with your lawn mower. Plus, from an aesthetic perspective, hiding the discharge line underground looks nicer than leaving it out in the open. Before burying a sump pump pipe, review your local building codes to make sure your installation is compliant.

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

Test regularly, clean the pump, and inspect the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.

The difference between an ejector pump and a sump pump lies in their purpose and design—an ejector pump functions to remove liquid gray water and soft solid sewage waste from your home. If you have a laundry room or bathroom in your basement, an ejector pump for your sewage tank prevents sewage from backing up in your washing machine or bathroom’s drains.

A sump pump is designed to remove excess groundwater that may enter your home, either due to flooding or periods of heavy rain.

It depends on what caused your basement flooding, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don’t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately.
