"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!"
"Thanks for your services was nice experience to has business ? with you I home my wishes come true no more Abuse, sickness, hungry, or homeless, My Broking Heart"
"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
There are a few possible sump pump drainage locations, including a neighborhood storm drain, into a creek or pond, or underground. Don’t let your sump pump water go into your sewer or septic system. Ideally, your drainage spot should be on a downhill slope that’s at least 10 to 20 feet away from your home’s foundation. Before choosing a location, check your local codes and regulations.
Most sump pumps come with power cords that can be plugged into an outlet, but there are options that can be hardwired into a home’s electrical system. Either way, it’s smart to have a backup power supply in case the electricity goes out during a storm. That way, the sump pump can keep running and removing water from the sump pit.
A sump pump will drain a flooded basement if it has a horsepower strong enough to remove the water faster than it is entering the room. If you have the wrong type or size of sump pump installed–or if your sump pump has failed–you may need to take additional steps to stop the flow of water or remove it manually.
Yes, it is generally unhealthy and can be dangerous to live in a damp basement. The damp air can negatively affect your breathing and lungs, and the moisture promotes mold growth and pest infestations. Inhaling mold spores or waste particles from insects and rodents attracted to the moisture can be hazardous. This damp, moldy air can also circulate into your main living area. It is crucial to resolve any moisture problems and implement preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.
French drains, sump pumps, and exterior waterproofing systems are common options. Choose one that best suits your property’s needs.
