Q: What is the most challenging part of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.</p></div>

Q: What happens when a backflow valve fails?

• <div><p>When a backflow valve fails, wastewater will flow back into your system, contaminating your drinking water. You&rsquo;ll immediately notice backflow valve failure from a rotten smell and brown water coming from faucets. Get in contact with a septic pro or a plumber immediately if you suspect this has happened to you. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to stay in a house with a flooded basement?

• <div><p>It depends on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/causes-and-costs-flooded-basement.htm">what caused your basement flooding</a>, 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&rsquo;t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately. </p></div>

Originally, they surmised that the leak was outside under the yard, but one gentleman pulled rank and said the leak was under my slab. Thus, they tore up part of the slab, but no leak was to be found. Ultimately, they found the leak where they had originally thought it would be and repaired it.

"When we purchased our home in 2017, there was already a crack across the top 2 segments of the driveway where that area had sunk quite a bit. Besides the cosmetic issue, we felt this subsidence was also a tripping hazard. After researching online and using Angi, I found GROUNDWORKS (formerly FSS: Foundation Support Specialists) who came out to give an estimate. Ricardo showed up on time with advanced warning of his ETA. He was thorough and left me with a color-coded bid. Some of the driveway and sidewalk leading to the front door were going to be lifted, and some parts stabilized using the foam injection method. Even though I received bids from 2 other companies, I chose GROUNDWORKS for their 5-year warranty and mid-level pricing. All companies were 4.5 stars or higher on both Google and Angi. On the job day, they arrived on time. The job was completed in about 2 hours. I am very happy with the results."
