"The end result is very good, however, there were some challenges along the way, which at the time were annoying, but were really just part of any construction / repair project. The crew arrived on time to begin the process of hand digging and using an auger to drill the piers to a depth of 10-12 ft. The first challenge occurred when the auger broke our water supply line to the house and filled it up with water. Brown immediately called their plumbing company for repair, but the pouring of the piers was delayed. At he same time, the auger machine damaged our porch column and gutter downspout. The machine also damaged the siding corner at our sun room at the rear of the house. During the process of digging / drilling the piers our sprinkler system piping and control wiring was disturbed and / or damaged as well. The piers were successfully poured, and after curing, the foundation was successfully raised. Because we had a sewer leak to repair at the same time, we raised the foundation, had the leak repaired, and then Brown returned to perform the mudjacking. Here is where the ball was dropped a bit. During this process, there was an enormous amount of dirt / debris generated. This dirt was piled, on plastic on our front lawn and other places. We knew this going in. However, after the piers were drilled and poured, the mudjacking performed, there was a 2 week period in which there was absolutely nothing done to "finish" the job by filling holes, replacing landscaping, and grading the dirt around the house. Finally, they had a crew available to return, but by this time, in the June-July, with no sprinkler system, and huge pile of dirt on the lawn, well, it was a disaster.
To their credit, through all of these challenges, in the end they stepped up and made it right. They replaced the st Augustine in the front, their plumbers repaired the damaged lines, the price was adjusted to reflect the repairs to the downspout and siding, and they sent their sprinkler people out twice to repair / replace components damaged during the process.
During the whole process, everyone was responsive, kind, and professional.
All of our doors open and close now and we will have cosmetic repairs done in approximately 6 mos. after everything has settled.
Bottom line, we would recommend Brown Foundation Repair.

"We had an issue with our sidewalk and curb in front of our house being unlevel and possibly a safety hazard. Jakalon was a one man show last Saturday. He was courteous, informative and professionally personable when he spoke with my husband and I. We would check on him and his work during the process and he would stop and share what he was doing. We were able to sign off on his work in a satisfactory time frame. Thanks J, we like your work!"

"The blockage was successful unstopped, but the oil and grease was left all over my driveway and my flowerbeds were a mess. It was way too expensive for a mess to be made of this magnitude. It was nearly 400.00 dollars for less than 30 minutes work. I was left to clean up the mess. This just wasn’t right."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Proper basement ventilation is very effective at reducing humidity. Without enough ventilation, your basement is prone to mold and moisture damage. Your basement should have as much natural ventilation via windows and doors as possible, and if your budget allows, you should also consider installing an ERV system to keep basement humidity levels at bay.

A sump pump can be added to an existing basement. To do this, you will need to use a jackhammer or sledgehammer to break up the concrete and dig a pit. You will also need to create a hole in your basement wall to run the discharge pipe through.

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

Crawl spaces are prone to issues caused by excess humidity and improper ventilation, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid buying a house with a crawl space. A home that is encapsulated and well-maintained shouldn’t have any more issues than a slab or basement home.

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you.
