"Northern basements was able to fit us in quickly, pulled our crooked cement wall back in-place and sealed the wall to prevent future leaks.  The work was timely, communication was friendly and detailed, and price was as to be expected for the large amount of work that needed to be done.  We are very pleased with the whole process as well as the results.

"We have had an intermittant water problem in our basement primarily when it rains heavily in the Winter.
I was very happy with the quick response from Mike Sears when we initially called to ask about repairing a water leak problem in our basement.  Mike explained how his proposed solution would work to alleviate the water problem. 
Mike left us with a detailed estimate and informational materials about the proposed repair.  He also explained what wasn't included in the job such as tearing out the current sheetrock, insulation and framing from the wall.  I did  this part of the work and the reconstruction after the drain had been installed.
We spoke to Mike a few days later, agreed to the price and set a date for the repair.
On the scheduled date, two of Mikes employees arrived on time and began to prep for the repair.  They did a good job of hanging plastic sheeting around their work area so that the dirt and dust would not get into the rest of the basement.
We had discovered a crack in the basement wall which wasn't visible when the original estimate was given.  Scott Lee gave  us a written estimate to repair it with carbon-fiber cloth and sealant.  While this was an unexpected expense, there was no reason to put in a drain and leave a crack in the wall.
Taking out a basement floor with a jackhammer and installing a drain is a hard, dirty job.  Scott and his co-worker completed this job in about 6 1/2 hours including the additional work for the wall crack.
They did a good job of cleaning up the old concrete and all working materials 
Scott explained how the pump would work when the water table under the house rose.  
My only issue with quality was the uneven concrete finish work on the basement floor above the drain.  Because this was leveled by hand, there is a somewhat noticeable depression in this area of the floor.
Overall, I am happy with the work and looking forward to a dry basement when the rains come this spring.

French Drains questions, answered by experts

That pungent rotten egg smell coming from your drain is likely the buildup of biofilm—hair, skin, and soap scum that turns into a black sticky mess. In this case, pouring down near-boiling water, baking soda, and white vinegar will remove the smell. Keep in mind that a rotten egg smell is occasionally a sign of larger sewage line clogs and other related issues.

Plumbers use a variety of tools to help unclog the toughest of drain clogs, but the most common tools they use are drain snakes and augers. They try a plunger or drain snake to start, then move to heavy-duty augers, and finally try using a hydro jetter to blast away the clog with high-pressure water. Hiring a plumber to unclog a drain costs $125 to $300, largely depending on the extent and location of the clog and which of these methods is best for clearing it.

An AC drip pan may stop draining if there’s a clog where the drip pan connects to the drain line. Clogs can form from a lack of cleaning or from rust or corrosion buildup. Cleaning the drip pan at least once per month lowers the chances of debris clogging the drain line.

Clearing typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the blockage size and location.

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
