"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
Whether professional drainage installation is covered by insurance depends on your specific policy and the circumstances. In some cases, homeowners insurance may cover the cost if drainage problems pose a risk to your home's foundation or structural integrity. However, it's essential to review your insurance policy, understand the terms and conditions, and consult with your insurance provider to determine if your particular situation qualifies for coverage. Coverage may vary, so it's crucial to clarify the details with your insurer.
Submersible and pedestal sump pumps are two popular types of sump pumps. Submersible models are covered by water in a sump pit, which helps keep the motor cooler and quieter. Pedestal sump pumps stick out of the sump pit, so the motor stays dry and is easier to access. Submersible sump pumps are the pricier option, but they also have longer life spans.
Costs range from $2,000 to $7,000, depending on system type and excavation requirements.

A sump pump is one of the most common ways to get excess moisture out of your home, but it’s not the only way.
