Sump Pump Issues
These folks were having issues with their sump pump, which was not draining the water out of the crawl space. We had assessed the situation and found the bucket was on a steep angle. We recommended the tote with gravel backfill. After installation, proper operation was observed.

Glad we could help.


The Back Graded Drain
This drain was improperly graded after the 90-degree elbow and had very few hangers or support. We recommended re-piping the drain and adding hangers to support the pipe. Once the new pipe was installed with hangers, the drains functioned correctly.
We are grateful to have helped with this project.
