"They did successfully stop the leak around the water supply pipe.
The problems started in the week prior to the scheduled work day when I requested that they use schedule 40 pipe.  I made it clear I was willing to pay the difference but was told that they don't ever use schedule 40 because it's "too hard to work with."  I wasn't happy with the answer but had already paid a down-payment and had the work scheduled for almost a month and they told me that schedule 30 is "virtually indestructible" and "would hold up to driving a car over it" so I agreed and went ahead with the work.
A crew of three showed up on time for the job and was doing a good job starting the work, but within the first few hours it was obvious there was no way they would get the job done in one day as expected, so in the afternoon, an additional 5 or 6 workers showed up. Things went downhill from then on.  The first crew was being careful and replacing the old pipe with new to minimize the damage to landscaping and asking me what I wanted if they ran into any problems.  They made sure the new pipe had a downhill grade to the curb, glued the pipe sections together as previously agreed, and replaced dirt / landscaping in an acceptable manner.  The new crew just dug new trenches where ever was most convenient so some of the pipe didn't end up with a downhill grade and they didn't glue sections together.
Since much of the new pipe was laid in new trenches, the displaced dirt wouldn't fit back in the trenches, so it was piled up on top leaving a 4 inch high "gopher trail" in the yard.  Rock displaced by digging under the sidewalk ended up in the yard and when I pointed it out to one of the workers, he said that it the rocks would sink down in the dirt over time.  That was when I realized it was pointless to try to get them to fix anything they did wrong.
Over the following weeks when we fixed their work, we found that some of the sod was buried under dirt and some just thrown back upside down.  When I was digging a hole to re-plant one of the bushes they neglected to replace, a fairly light push on the shovel easily went right through the new pipe.
Needless to say, I am not pleased with the work.  Maybe the Basement Doctor should stick to basement repairs and leave outside trenching to someone else.   I used them because of a referral from another company a friend had used, but my experience with them is the main reason I signed up with Angie's List.

"Robertson restoration is the way to go they are very polite professional and genuinely great people. Their prices are amazing and the quality of work is even better. I had to have part of my floor jack hammered up and a system put in to drain water from a crack in my Foundation they completed that in one day and drywall the next. I will definitely be using them again in future projects that I have in mind for my house. Absolutely great service!"

"Very expensive service... I was charged 210 dollars for 5-minute reprogramming of my new ecobee4 thermostat. I requested a technician to come to check my Air conditioner as my electric bill was higher compared to the last year.. he found nothing wrong with the system. I suggested to him that it might be the newly installed ecobee4 thermostat. He checked the wiring was good. He found out that it's set up to auxiliary heat as primary and reprogrammed it and charged me 210 dollars without letting me know it will be that expensive prior to the reprogramming... Imagine, 5-minute setup of the thermostat and they charge you 210 dollars.. I will never recommend them to anyone"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Boston, KY

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
