We were billed $900.00 for 3 hours of work. This included digging a 22" deep hole, repairing a pvc pipe, and filling the hole up. About halfway through the job, the plumber informed me that the diagnosis fee ($244.00) would most likely be waived. However, at the end of the job he said that I would be charged the diagnosis fee after all because it was a "deep" hole. In his words, a "4 foot" hole. The hole actually was more like only 22" deep. They also did sloppy work with filling the hole in after the work was completed. Overall, we feel like we were overcharged considering the simple nature of the work that was completed. We were charged $344.00 for 2 men to dig a 22" deep by 18" across hole. In addition to a $244.00 "diagnosis fee", $228.00 to fix the pipe and a $79.00 dispatch fee. We contacted the company to answer our questions and spoke with Sandy. She informed us that she would have the owner contact us. They never attempted to reach out to us. I would not use this company again, or ever recommend them to anyone. (We know how deep the hole actually was because the City Utilities department informed us that we still had a leak after Holloway completed this repair and we dug the hole back up to make sure the repair wasn't leaking. The repair wasn't leaking, but at that point we did measure the depth/width of the hole and take pictures.)

We had already had plumbers out two days before for flooding and they found a major blockage and could only get the emergency taken care of. Because it was the first day in the home and everything was in boxes, we couldn't call the home warranty company (they refused to cover it after the fact as that first plumber was not a contracted plumber with their company). This time, two days later new flooding, we called AHS warranty company and this is who they sent. The guy wanted to re-create the flooding yet again even though we had 3 expensive fans running and damp ceilings! He had to "verify there was a problem". As if anyone would somehow damage their ceilings on purpose and rent fans and then call a plumber out on a lark! Those fanshad been running for two days already to dry out the ceilings and walls from the first flood--I was leaving town the next day and we already knew from the previous plumber the diagnosis. I wouldn't let him run water through the ceilings and walls again. We asked him to run a camera first. He told us he couldn't do that, as I wouldn't let him run the water and make a new flood! He said that he would have to cut into the ceiling drywall to find out if it was a copper pipe leak or a blockage and loose pipe fitting. Earlier, the warranty company had told me only plumbing was covered, not secondary damage or drywall cutting. It was obvious it wasn't a copper pipe leak, or the water would be there all the time. I never got an explanation as to why he couldn't run the camera (the least invasive method) first. Finally, he said he couldn't help us and walked off the job. He wouldn't look at the facts and wanted to take the easiest method, but we still would have had to have another plumber run a camera as the blockage was from hard water/calcium deposits plus baby wipes the prior owners had flushed. The guy wouldn't even go to bat for us with the warranty company and recommend the camera as the option, as it was clear there was a plumbing problem. He had to "recreate" the flood, or cut into the drywall--what if he cut the wrong place and kept going? He refused to run the camera and walked off the job. I'm sure he wasn't going to repair that drywall, and neither was the warranty company! That's my next review... American Home Shield and We Fix It Plumbing--F Minus!!

"Working with Groundworks was wonderful from start to finish. It began with their sales team, Rich G, ensuring my old, quirky home had a customized and thorough solution, phased out to make the job more approachable. Rich took the time to understand my goals for the project and the nuances of my house even though that took significant time and multiple trips to my home. The installation crew (Jose N., Phil S., Diego A.) was professional, prompt and answered ALL of my questions. Their communication kept me informed every step of the way! When the job was completed, it looked like they had never been here - the yard and landscaping look untouched. I would definitely recommend Groundworks for anyone who needs to have their foundation worked on!"

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Somerset, TX
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
