Can you finish a basement that leaks?

• <div><p>Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.</p></div>

Q: What are common types of drain issues?

• <div><p>Common drain issues include slow-running drains, whether in a sink or shower, clogged drains, a bad smell, and water backing up into a sink, shower, or bathtub. Causes range from hair, grease, roots, or toilet paper clogging the drainpipes to flooding outside the home, which prevents sewer lines from draining properly. </p></div>

Q: Should you run a dehumidifier in the basement all the time?

• <div><p>No, your basement dehumidifier doesn&rsquo;t need to be on 24/7. While it&rsquo;s an excellent tool for tackling damp, musty air, especially in humid seasons, leaving it running nonstop can backfire. Over-drying the space can mess with your sinuses, warp wood, and even crack certain materials. Instead, only use your humidifier when moisture levels rise above 50%, and then give it a break when the humidity levels drop.</p></div>

Q: How do I easily access my drain valves?

• <div><p>You may have to dig out drain valves if they are buried under dirt. This method isn&rsquo;t ideal, and it increases the chance of clogs and damage. Ideally, a drip irrigation system buries drain valves in a gravel pocket so they are easier to access and better-protected. If you have trouble accessing drain valves, hire a sprinkler professional to find them safely and efficiently.</p></div>

Q: What other projects should I do at the same time as installing a sewer backflow preventer?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you&rsquo;re done, now&rsquo;s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.</p></div>

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.
