Remedy Foundation Repair

During the purchase process of our new home we noticed that the driveway had large pools of water on it and that there were signs of water on an interior wall which was below grade. Remedy Foundation Repair was contracted to correct both problem areas. Regarding the driveway, they demolished the old one, prepared the site for the new driveway with rebar and forms for a correct slope away from the home, arranged for the pouring of the concrete, and cut the lines into the new driveway. We have had a LOT of rain since the new driveway was installed and the water runs away quickly. The driveway work was quoted and delivered at $12,568. The water signs on the interior wall were evaluated to be a combination of factors in and around the patio, all of which were addressed. 3and quot; grated troughs were installed all around the patio to drain water away from the house and foundation. One downspout had roots growing in it causing water to not drain and then overflow the gutter. It was cleared and a new French drain attached to carry the water away to the end of the driveway. A second downspout was leaving a large pool in the yard and was connected to the French drain as well. A third downspout was routed directly into the trough system. All of the gutters and downspouts (and birds nests) around the patio were cleared and two improperly installed gutter guards were removed. In addition the patio was cleaned, sealed, and regrouted to prevent absorption of water which could leach into the foundation or home. Thus far there have been no signs of water in the interior and the patio has no standing water during storm. This work was quoted and delivered at $5950. We did have some problems with scheduling, although some of that is on us. Due to requirements of the mortgage company we had to get the work done prior to closing, so we REALLY pushed them on the deadlines. They were pleasant to deal with and very personable. All of the workers were friendly and seemed trustworthy. We do have plans to do further business with Remedy once our renovations reach that point.
