What are the pros and cons of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:</p><p>Pros</p><ul><li><p>Can increase the value of your home</p></li><li><p>Separate space from the rest of the house </p></li><li><p>Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style</p></li><li><p>Increase the amount of living space in your home</p></li></ul><p>Cons</p><ul><li><p>May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing</p></li><li><p>Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level</p></li><li><p>Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage</p></li><li><p>Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Why do French drains fail?

• <div><p>French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. </p><p>Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.</p></div>

Q: Can water seep through cracks in the basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, water and water vapor can seep through cracks in your basement floor, which means you should address all basement floor cracks, even if they don&rsquo;t indicate structural issues. Sealing settling cracks and shrinkage cracks is a good idea to keep water and moisture outside where it belongs. Doing so can improve your indoor air quality, reduce the risk of mold growth, make your home more comfortable, and help prevent pest infestation.</p></div>

Q: What causes a basement wall to bow?

• <div><p>External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure&mdash;these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent. </p></div>

Q: How do you fix a concrete drainage problem?

• <div><p>Water that pools on concrete indicates a low spot somewhere on your driveway. You can level the slab with a concrete patching compound to help redirect water. You can also install drainage over existing concrete by digging out enough space for a channel drain or French drain or by adding a culvert below the slab.</p></div>

I called at 12:08 pm and a repairman was already in my area on another repair. He was here and had my microwave repaired and was gone by 1:10 pm the same day. He showed me what failed which was 3 microswitches. Very friendly and personable as well as professional.

Robert was great! Our toilet overflowed and leaked throughout our bathroom. He listened to our concerns and handled everything so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We even used him on a garage addition and water drainage for our property.
