"Had Betts Structural Engineering come and look at the foundation of a house we were in contract on. Josh came out and was professional and informative. He informed us the foundation was failing and explained what needed to be done. He throughly explained everything and told us how we could do it ourselves for much cheaper than a contractor could do it. In the end he saved us from a long and expensive process if we proceeded with the house."

"Everything Mike said he would do, he did. The old caulking needed removed first, and that was a lot of prep work, especially on the second story windows. We went a little over the project estimate, but that was due to the amount of prep time it took. No mess was left after the work. Communication was excellent all the way. Highly recommend this handyman to anyone in need of having their windows caulked and exterior foundation painted."

"My microwave oven broke right before the Thanksgiving holiday. Help!!! I called By All Means And More and, as usual, they rescued me. They installed my new microwave very quickly. They came just a few days after I called them and put me into their schedule as an emergency. I have used these guys for all sorts of construction and fixes around the house. They are friendly, courteous, clean and always do what they promised to do. They clean up after themselves beautifully. Their list of references is a mile long. ?"

"They immediately got started and started snaking the drain. The equipment they were using broke several times and had to be adjusted. They kept going and at approximately 40 feet in to the drain came to what appeared to be an obstruction. They informed me there was an obstruction in the line and provided a estimate of approximately $3900 to dig the line and replace what they believed to be a crushed line. That said, the obstruction was not fixed on the initial visit, but I was informed the original call cost would be deducted from the 5 foot spot fix for the crushed line.
Fortunately, my son in law was here for the holidays and he and I agreed the repair ($3900) was well outside of what was reasonable and that we would attempt to fix the crushed pipe ourselves. My single best decision from the not so good experience above. The Mr. Rooter plumber did show me approximately where the obstruction was outside my home so we started digging there today. We found the obstruction was actually an outside service pipe that had been installed by the previous owner. My son in law and I, opened the service line, relieved the pressure, ran my garden hose down the pipe and completely cleared the obstruction. All that said, I went from a costly service call ($262) to a $3900 repair in about 40 minutes using Mr. Rooter. Maybe if the equipment had been in better condition it would have gone through the pipe easier, don't know. I had used Mr. Rooter about 2 or so years ago and had a completely different experience and paid just under $100 (still costly) for the exact same service and that representative was able to rund the snake clear to the road, over 100 feed. Overall, nice representatives, not so good equipment, maybe a little more expertise prior to going for a costly repair. Thank goodness my son in law was home. We were actually done by 3PM, I now know the location of the outside service access and had a nice lunch as well. Again, get an estimate on the phone before you have them come to your home."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Not all window wells have a formal drain, but they all require a method for water to flow away from the window. Some wells are connected to an interior or exterior drain tile, which is the most effective solution. Others rely on a deep layer of gravel or crushed stone that allows water to filter down into the soil.

However, if a window well lacks a proper drainage system, it can lead to basement seepage, costly water damage, mold growth, and potential foundation damage. This is especially true in areas with heavy rainfall or expansive soil.

If your window well doesn't have a drain or is not draining quickly enough, you have a few options. For gravel-based systems, the stone may have compacted and needs to be improved. For a more robust solution, you can hire a plumber or window installer to connect the well to a drainage system. This can also be a DIY project using a shovel or auger.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the scope and site preparation.

Gravity can make it difficult to make plumbing work in a garage if your plumbing is lower than your drainage point. Fortunately, there are ways to create drainage when adding a bathroom to a sunken garage. Plumbers will recommend using an upflush system that discharges into a pump from the back of the toilet.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

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.
