"Paul Swann evaluated our foundation problem and referred us to an engineer who provided a detailed repair plan. Unfortunately, the nature and scope of the proposed repair plan was outside the parameters of what Northern Basement System's themselves could provide. We appreciated their honesty and have been looking for a contractor to take on the project."

"Mike and his team did a solid job for us. The previous owners had punted on installing the correct solution and lied about water entering the home. When we found ¼ inch of water in our back room basement we called GMBS out and they were there within hours to do an estimate. This was one of the rainiest summers in recent memory and GMBS had a ton of business so we had to wait, but it was worth the wait. They finished the job in under 3 days and the work looks great. They installed a brand new sump pump, the old one the previous owners had installed was done poorly, was inefficient to the task and sounded like a jet engine. They installed a sub floor perimeter drainage system and vapor sealed our walls.
They were quick, professional, courteous and were easy to work with. We paid up front and part of the job was over estimated and they got a refund to us when we needed it.
I have more work I need done in the future and I plan on using Mike and his team.
"It went smoother than I thought it would go. They were great about explaining what they were going to do and why. I appreciated the time they took to talk with me about the whole process. They were very thorough and clean!"

"Very hard workers Took the time for me to understand The only thing is I wish there was a way to seal vac seal the top of the covering to adhere better to stone foundation"
Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
No, you can’t drain your sump pump into your home’s sewer system. In fact, it’s against the law in many places because dumping extra water into a municipal water system can disrupt or overwhelm the treatment process. And for similar reasons, you shouldn’t discharge a sump pump into your septic system, either.
Yes, many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.
The regulations around whether drain pipe installers need to hold licenses or certifications differ based on where you live and the type of drain pipe installed. Municipalities have varying rules and regulations about who can and can’t perform plumbing work. However, we recommend hiring a certified plumber to install or modify your drain lines. Licensed plumbers will perform a high-quality, professional installation, which translates to a lower risk of clogs and leaks in the future. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm the license status of your potential plumber before hiring them to install your drain pipe.
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.
If your basement often leaks after heavy rain, it’s probably caused by hydrostatic pressure. When the ground is saturated with water, it can put pressure on the exterior of your home’s foundation, causing cracks in the basement wall and pushing water through any existing weak spots. Over time, hydrostatic pressure can cause structural damage to your home.
