"Ely and his team did an outstanding job despite the challenges of this project from the excavating near the foundation of my home to trying to repair another contractor's horrible job week's prior. Ely and his team are professional, well mannered and do their best to leave your house daily as clean as possible throughout the project.This was wonderful because as Ely got know me he realized I am an extremely neat individual! Although the latter part of my driveway Ely has agreed to continue to work on and develop a plan of improvement. His professionalism, work ethic, quality and customer service follow up speaks volumes. I look forward to hiring him and his team again. Thank you Ely and your team!"

"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."

"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

A small sump pump running infrequently uses an average of 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month. The average cost for electricity is $0.171 per kWh. The size and use frequency affect how much electricity it uses. Sump pumps average one-third to one horsepower (hp) motors. One hp is equal to 745.7 watts. Watts multiplied by the time your pump is running divided by 1,000 equals your average kWh. Multiply kWh by your average cost of electricity. In areas with high rain or a marsh basin, the average cost can be as high as $15-$25 a month.

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.

There are several things you can do to maintain your sump pump and prevent sump pump problems. For instance, keeping a lid on your sump pit goes a long way in protecting your pump system from silt, sand, dirt, and other debris. When water drains from the outside, such as along your foundation, or with melting snow, water runoff often brings sediment with it. 

Also be wary of corrosion, particularly if your sump pump system is made of metal. Keep an eye out for rust and have it inspected regularly by a plumber or sump pump technician.

Costs range from $2,000 to $7,000, depending on system type and excavation requirements.
