From the counter

Groundwater

Homes in a valley see more water around their foundations. The weeping tile collects it and the sump pump sends it out. If the pump fails during a storm, the basement floods from below. A second pump or battery backup is worth considering.

Flood history: parts of the valley have flooded historically. Talk to us about both groundwater and sewer backup protection.

Older homes, new interiors

Many homes here have been renovated several times. Behind new finishes we sometimes find old cast iron or galvanized lines. We trace lines carefully before cutting into walls.

Steep driveways

Some Hoggs Hollow homes have steep driveways that slope toward a garage below grade. A trench drain at the bottom must stay clear, and if it drains to a sump, that pump needs testing too. Leaves in fall are the usual blockage.

Questions

Do I need two sump pumps?

For a basement that takes a lot of water, a backup pump or battery system is sensible protection.

Can you check whether my backwater valve works?

Yes. We open the access, check the flap and clean it.
