Description of Work: Installed a dry basement system. Essentially a system that mitigates and seepage of water into the basement via a drain trench at the site of seepage and a sump pump to remove the water. | |I was not present when the system was installed however, I found small items of trash left behind and the seat on my exercise bike was damaged by their transporting of materials into the basement. The workmen did not have the warrantee information with them but told my wife they would mail it. I'm still waiting...

Description of Work: I do not have the date Mark actually came to my house, the date is at my office, but it was in March. I contacted Ark foundation to see if I had a crack in my foundation. Mark responded quickly, diagnosed, explained and showed me the problem and made a recommendation on how to correct it. The issue was unrelated to the foundation. I was impressed with his honesty and felt he went out of his way to help and provided detail on how to accomplish the fix. Very nice and respectful.

Description of Work: I contacted Mark at Ark because of an issue of water in my basement...He came out, made some excellent suggestions and planned service for the future of my basement...Before the visit, he suggested that I have the floor drain snaked and a camera inspection done..I did and found I need a new sewer system (new pipes) from the house to the street...Since his company does not do this kind of service, I did use another person for this...However, I have plans for Mark to come back in the future to do some issues in the basement that he observed... I was totally impressed with Mark Foldenauer...He gave a very honest assessment of my problem and made suggestions that could help eliminate the problem...I go by my gut feeling and Mark got an A+ there... In the future, after I observe the effects of the new sewer line, I intend to use Ark Foundation...I would be the first to say if I wasn't totally impressed because I wouldn't want someone else to be misled in their needs...

Description of Work: The original builder of our condo complex installed a poor quality drainage system that basically did not work. They used cheap pipe which they appear to have not even glued together and did not bury deeply enough allowing the frost to uproot a lot of it over the last 10 years. We looked around for someone who could replace the entire system and connect it to the drain in the parking lot so the water could flow out of rather than flooding areas of our complex during big rains and snow thawing. We found ARK Foundation who came in and dug out all the old drainage pipes and re-installed new ones deeper in the ground and with the proper grade of pipe. They connected it to our downspouts and connected the system itself to the storm drain system so the water flows from our roofs to the storm drain. They even connected our sump pumps to the drainage system so that water flows out as well. Along with the solid pipe, they also installed perforated pipe along the buildings to collect and remove any additional surface water. During the project, they had to work around our existing landscaping, dig under sidewalks, and cut through the asphalt in the parking lot to connect with the drains. It was a huge project and they were able to do this and put things back as well as can be expected. In addition to solving the flooding that happened during big rains, this should help protect our foundations by preventing excess water from pooling.

Description of Work: They dug a trench in the concrete floor around the perimeter of my basement and installed drain tile, then covered it back up with new concrete. They covered the walls with two sheets of stuff. The outer sheet is shiny white plastic and looks kind of like a shower curtain. The inner sheet, which I didn't see, was described as kind of like the black plastic fabric used in gardening. The inner sheet is to keep the outer sheet from clinging to the wall. The water is allowed in rather than being kept out; it flows down the wall but is contained by the plastic sheeting, then it goes into the drain tile and is pumped out. They put a pipe underground running from the sump to a holding pond I already had in the back yard. They also did some work on my basement walls that's a little hard to describe. I have a Michigan basement, that is, it was dug out after the house was built. The original foundation, still in place, is a trench wall--a trench was dug and filled with concrete. When the basement was excavated, an inner wall was poured that sits offset from the trench wall, so what Ark did, at my request, was build up the top of the inner wall with cement blocks so that the vertical surface is one plane from top to bottom. Their price without that would have been lower, a little under $5,000.
