"Very well. Clayton, and later Tim, were professional and polite in every way. My only complaint would be the two tier pricing to sell their service contract. It seems like most plumbers now want to charge a service call to give an estimate, so if you get three estimates you have paid a third to half the cost of the project."

We will continue to train and update our employees to implement new ideas and processes that make the job more efficient without disturbing the quality of the patented B-Dry system. In 1958, joseph bevilacqua developed a method of interior basement waterproofing. He decided to dedicate his life to the waterproofing industry and continued to perfect and improve on his system. By 1978, joe reached the point where he was ready to grow his company into a national chain of b-dry system franchises. The B-Dry® system wet basement waterproofing process has been time tested for over 50 years and in over 500,000 homes nationwide. B-Dry system is the world’s largest and one of the oldest basement waterproofing organizations and we look forward to continue the success of the company. The B-Dry® system wet basement waterproofing process has been proven to be so unique and so effective at eliminating wet basement leakage and flooded basement problems that it was awarded a 1986 united states government patent!

"I contacted B-Dry Solutions in early June, 2024 to install an egress window in my basement. The price was reasonable and they communicated well all throughout the whole process. I received calls from the scheduler at the main office the week prior to installation and she was very helpful giving me an idea of what to expect. The installation team came on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 and completed the entire installation in seven (7) hours. The installation team (Jordan, Matt, Cody-1 and Cody-2) was professional, they knew their job responsibilities, and were efficient with their time. I was extremely pleased with all the work they completed and the end result was a beautiful installation. The inspector came this afternoon and highly commended the finished job. I couldn't be happier with the new egress window and the quality of the work done by B-Dry Solutions. I would use their services again if I had to install another egress window."

* Family Owned & Operated * Local 562 Plumbers Pipefitters Union * 24 Hour Emergency Service

"I had this company come over to fix what should have been a simple clog. After a 2 weeks of dealing with this company, Beis Plumbing (Valley Park) came and immediately fixed the problem. My basement drain was backing up. Gateway immediately went to work in the yard cleanout. The water drained. A week later, the drain was backing up again. He came out again but did no work because the water had slowly drained, but he did not even cable to check if the pipes were clear. The rest of the month, the house smelled like poop as it backed up time and time again. When I called Beis Plumbing, they cabled a line in the basement, which is where the problem was in the first place. He found a soft clog and cleared the line. I paid twice as much with the new company, but at least the job got done. Manager refused to give me a refund claiming my problem did not present itself to the technician, but I don't think the technician knew how to look for the source of the clog. Will not use again."

"The contractor salesperson and crew were timely, knowledgeable and professional and knew their stuff. During excavation for the piers, it became evident that we did not have a normal Foundation, but rather a stair-stepped foundation requiring more work than originally determined. Upon conferring with the company owner, we decided to go ahead and increase the contract price for the additional 5 to 7 work days that it would take to navigate through all of the additional excavation of concrete in a patio area as well as a sidewalk there was stair-stepped Foundation. The work was completed professionally and clean up, including pouring new concrete where the patio piers and sidewalk p i e r s had been placed, was done exceptionally well. We would recommend Mid-America appearing again based on what we know now."

Septic tank cleanings or pump outs FAQs

Wastewater from your home from your showers, toilets, sink drains, and washing machines flows to your septic tank. When wastewater enters your septic tank, it divides into three parts sludge, water, and scum. Outlet and inlet pipe positions and baffles keep sludge and scum from leaving the tank. Wastewater, the effluent, moves down pipes to the drain field.

If a septic tank is not pumped, it can lead to serious issues. The accumulation of sludge and scum will eventually overflow into the drain field, causing blockages and system failure. Pipes may become clogged, leading to sewage backups in your home. Pumps can also break due to excessive buildup, and the drain field may become damaged, requiring costly repairs or replacement.

Signs that your septic tank needs to be pumped include unpleasant odors around your property, slow draining sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds in the plumbing, and sewage backups in your home. You may also notice standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drain field. If you observe any of these signs, it's important to schedule a pumping promptly to prevent system failure.

Septic tank odors are typically caused by gases produced during the breakdown of organic waste in the tank. If these gases escape, it can indicate a problem such as a crack in the tank, a clogged drain field, or issues with the venting system. Odors can also result from overflows due to a full tank. Addressing septic tank odors promptly is important to prevent more serious issues.

You should pump your septic tank every three to five years, depending on factors like tank size and household size. Larger households generate more wastewater and may require more frequent pumping. For example, a family of four with a 1,000-gallon tank may need pumping every three years, while a smaller household with a larger tank might extend to five years. Regular maintenance ensures optimal system performance.
