Review: Drain Pipe Installation Service
7 months ago

We had an ongoing, very frustrating problem with water seeping into our crawl space through our foundation cold joint as well as permeating the foundation sidewall. We spent three years trying to fix it (work done in the summer, find out in the winter it didn't fix the problem, rinse and repeat). We had at least 5 or 6 different contractors/drainage "experts" out to look at it over the years, and the "solutions" ranged from "what do you want me to do?" to crazy, extremely expensive $10 and $20K ideas (thus my inability to comment on price, as I wouldn't be comparing apples to apples). One company insisted there was "no way" to prevent the water coming in, and I needed what he was selling to deal with the water once it got inside.

Ability Plus Drainage listened to the problem I described and the end result I wanted (others didn't). Their proposed solution made sense (others didn't) and they walked me through it all and answered all questions. They did point out that part of what I wanted done was "belt and suspenders" (which I knew, but was willing to pay for as it was not the bulk of the work and was relatively cheap insurance). They showed up promptly every day they were scheduled, worked hard all week, and best of all, I can now report that our basement appears to finally be dry. Work performed: * They dug out a trench along the problem area of our foundation, down past the cold joint. A new French drain was installed below the level of the cold joint. * They painted waterproofing onto the foundation wall (this was the overkill part, but it was a minor portion of the overall cost since the foundation wall was exposed anyway, so it was worth it to me). * They installed Aquaboard against the foundation wall. * They created a swale for diverting surface water and a vertical connection to the French drain.

Review: Basement Waterproofing Service

We had a crack in our foundation, which caused water to get into a basement room. We needed the crack repaired and better drainage put in. We had several estimates done, which were all over the map in terms of what should be done.

Ability put in a new drainage line along the side of the house, digging down to the base of the foundation, which was a ton of work. They ran pipe out to a spot in the yard for the water to drain to, and they connected the downspouts to the new pipes (The old drain pipes had failed.) They put in a moisture barrier up against the house and sealed the crack. They did this work in very rainy conditions, moving a lot of dirt in the process, but they cleaned up very carefully. For the amount of work that they did the price seemed reasonable. It's been ten months since the work, and it seems to be working as intended.
