"Sofia Gick and Tyler Dunford were very professional and communicative. They adjusted the installation on the day when they discovered we had a foundation they weren’t expecting and saved us a bunch of $$$."
"We recently bought a house and knew we needed some basement waterproofing. We went to Sure Dri because of the Angie's List reviews. And Keith Martin and his staff were great! Keith was very responsive if I had any concerns or questions. He walked me through the process and seemed to genuinely want to make sure what my options were before deciding on an interior French drain. His staff were very fast & professional (& kept the work area super clean). They even cemented an old drain to secure it and move the new sump pump to a new location with no extra charge. He guarantees his work and I highly recommend Sure Dri."

"Once the old door was off, Randy discovered that some of the foundation blocks were crumbling and needed to be caulked. Also the blocks had not been filled which made the foundation walls unstable. This meant an adjustment to the scope of the job and the budget. Randy explained it all to me and we went ahead with the project. After he stabilized the foundation walls, he leveled them for proper installation of the door and installed the concrete pad. The door had to be ordered and when it came in Randy installed it and the result is beautiful. I couldn't be more pleased! Randy was very professional and a pleasure to work with. He kept me informed with his progress, answered all my questions and stayed within budget. I will hire him for other projects I have. I highly recommend him. "
"Metropolitan Restoration Center Inc came and picked it up. They had it for three or four weeks which was fine with me since I was in no rush to get it back. It was beautiful. I couldn't be more satisfied."
"There was no blockage, but found out that the original install of the vent system hand too many bends and this caused the sensor to go off. Had the original installer back and corrected the problem. "
"The existing steps were too narrow for the porch. We wanted to make the front porch more of a focal point and attempt to accentuate the modest midcentury design of the house. Joseph Walls of Brick Solutions, came to our house within a couple of days from out initial phone call. He was professional and extremely interested in our project even though it was not a large project. He was willing to work in our time schedule and he kept us informed during the entire process. My only regret is that I did not find him sooner, but will only use him in the future! "
Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.
Installing a battery backup for your sump pump is recommended, particularly if you live in an area with frequent power outages or severe rainstorms. A sump pump requires electricity to function, and a battery backup ensures it can continue to move water out of your home if the power goes out, providing crucial protection against flooding. Additionally, frequent power outages can create electrical surges that might damage the sump pump's motor. A battery backup system offers an additional layer of protection, ensuring your basement stays dry.
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.
A sump pump should be placed at least three feet deep in a pit. The rim of the sump pump basin should be level with your basement floor. If you find your pit is too deep, you can fill the bottom with gravel until the rim of the sump pump is flush with the floor.
Sump pumps prevent basement flooding, reduce humidity, and protect against water damage.
