    We recently discovered leaks into our finished basement. Not gushing water, but enough seeping in to cause mildew smell, mold on the back of drywall and rot some stud wall sill plates. At first we thought it was a leaky foundation, so we demolished interior walls and excavated an 18" wide...

    Just recently I had a customer asking if a French Drain will get rid of standing water over the lawn in specific spots. By experience, it should be the solution but now he wants a written guarantee that it will solve the problem of standing water. What I provide is a warranty that covers the...

    My wife and I have owned our home for 8 years but immediately recognized what would eventually become a big problem. Our home sits at the bottom of a small hill (6 feet from foundation to the top of the hill) which slopes down into our backyard on two sides. The water does not drain on either...

    I’d be interested in knowing whether $1500 is a reasonable price for the following work by a couple of guys just out of college who have recently started a rock cleaning and light landscaping business. I have a wide area on the backyard side of my house between the side fence and the house...
