"These guys are very good. I highly recommend them. They did three tasks, stabilizing a cracked concrete floor in a shed, stabilizing my 30 year old concrete driveway, and stabilizing my 30 year old modular home foundation that was built out of specs. Well done!"

"On 9/23/24, Jeremy, a Senior Service Technician from Southeast Foundation Repair, performed the annual inspection of my foundation repair. The inspection was conducted thoroughly and professionally, reflecting the technicianâ s deep expertise and attention to detail. Punctuality and Preparedness Jeremy arrived promptly at the scheduled time, equipped with all necessary tools and equipment for the job. He took the time to introduce himself, explain the purpose of the inspection, and outline what steps he would be taking during the process. Thoroughness and Knowledge Throughout the inspection, Jeremy demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of foundation systems. He meticulously examined each area, including all installed jacks and structural supports, and checked for any signs of movement or further settling. He clearly knew what to look for and explained his findings in a way that was easy to understand, highlighting the current state of the foundation. Communication and Professionalism Jeremy maintained clear and effective communication throughout the process. He took the time to answer all my questions and provided detailed explanations regarding the condition of the foundation. His demeanor was professional and courteous, which instilled confidence in his abilities and the ongoing care of the foundation system. Documentation and Recommendations After completing the inspection, Jeremy provided a comprehensive report outlining his findings, which included both visual assessments and actions taken during the inspection. He discussed potential preventative measures and maintenance tips to ensure the continued stability of the foundation. His recommendations were practical, and he avoided unnecessary upselling, focusing only on what was essential for maintaining the integrity of the structure. Conclusion In summary, Jeremy delivered an exceptional annual inspection. His professionalism, knowledge, and customer-focused approach were evident throughout the entire process. I am confident that my foundation repair is in good hands and appreciate the quality of service provided by Southeast Foundation and Crawl Space Repair. I would highly recommend both the technician and the company for anyone requiring foundation maintenance or repair services."

"I have used the services of John Adams/101 Building Services for my home and had great results.  Our church needed some exterior repair and I asked John to give us an estimate for the work.  After I received his estimate we met at the church and discussed exactly what needed to be done.
John not only did a quality job for each of the tasks on the list, he noticed some additional related items that needed work and, after checking with me, repaired those also.  For example, he powerwashed much more than the portico and steps that we contracted for.  While he had his gear hooked up, he also power washed the front walkway and back entryway.  He also repaired damage to two additional windows.
We have a small church with a limited budget.  John refused to accept any more in payment than what was initially agreed.  He said the additional work was his gift to the church.  Overall, we were extremely happy with the quality of John's work and appreciate his willingness to go the extra mile.

"Despite others having a higher average rating I hired Regional Foundation because the salesman, John, took his time, did a thorough evaluation and recommended solutions that no one else had which saved me money. The experience with the crew was great, Johnathan the supervisor communicated well and was punctual. I was quoted a week but Juan and Marcos were incredibly hard workers. The completed the job in three days. My spouse and I are very happy with the work, the air inside is better, less musty, and the AC feels cooler and less damp. Excited to see our next electric bill. Would recommend Regional Foundation."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in New Bern, NC

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.
