"My first contact with Mount Valley Foundations was with Carlton Cisson. He was prompt, professional and provided details of what needed to be done with a drawing explaining all and a quote right on the spot. Every time I reached out to Carton after that first meeting regarding the task at hand, scheduling the work or just to answer questions...Carlton responded quickly. For anyone that might possibly be needing foundation work of any kind, I highly recommend Carlton Cission as the first point of contact. Shaun Dixon, Alex Hernandez, Milton Martin and Dre Nesbitt were the team assigned to replacing the entire foundation of the wedding venue restroom I hired Mount Valley for (from the interior floor to the dirt on the ground beneath...literally). 100% rotten through by years of undetected moisture from inadequate airflow and dehumidification. Shaun (the forman) was in constant communication with me throughout the entire process of rebuilding. He didn't just explain in words, he took time to visually point out the areas this construction would be addressing and what I should expect. Shaun was clear and concise in describing what was being done and answering all of my questions (which was many). The entire process, including the work ethic of this 4-man team, was conducted in a very professional manner. A grusome task, while keeping a friendly, personable demeanor throughout. Hoping I never have to have such foundation work ever done again, but will certainly call Mount Valley again, if I do!"

"I wish that they at least look through a camera to see what was clogging the drain. The team was nice, polite, and clean. But, the cost was a bit too much for just running the snake through the pipe, and not knowing the root cause of the problem. They need a camera!"

"They were able to advise that I did not have a basement water problem and instead diagnosed condensation for which they suggested a simple solution. They did not charge"

"We recently purchased a townhouse in Asheville as a second home to be near our daughter that had recently moved there. The unit had been a rental unit and need several upgrades. We replace the Formica countertops with granite and had to have the faucets replaced and the new sink drains connected. The work was done promptly and the workmanship was excellent. Everyone that we dealt with was professional and pleasant."

"An unexpected surprise blockage of our kitchen sink drain could not be solved with my reasonable plumbing skills and a 25-foot snake. Through Home Advisor, I found Alex Datko to be available the same day. He and his helper Tim arrived ahead of schedule and solved our problem quickly with a motorized snake and excellent detective work to be sure that any potential associated problems from the house to the street were avoided, all with keeping a clean work area, having a friendly attitude, and most importantly, having a very reasonable price. My problem was solved and I remain impressed!"

"

Just purchased a new house.   Supply valves for washing machine were leaking.   Called Peter, he asked me to take a picture of the valve and text it to him.   He called me right back and explained how I could do it myself and save a bit of $$.   The valves were so old, I was not able to get them removed.   Called him back and he came the next morning.    Replaced the valves and also fixed a simply problem with a toilet.  

He gave me some ideas for adding a utility sink and took the time to explain the plumbing in our new house and some issues to look out for in the future.  

I liked the fact that he offered alternatives to a service call and only recommended work that actually needed to be done.

"The toilet in our guest cabin plugged up and we couldn't get it flowing. Called Best Value Sewer and Drain Cleaning around 5pm and Mr Crawford came right out. We live out in the country and he had to come from an hour away. He knew exactly what to do based on the type of fixture we had. He had everything back in business right away and our out of town guests didn't have to move to the house.

"Grant and his crew did a wonderful job. I was so stressed because after telling the people at pods the contents of my house they assured me a 16’ pod would be sufficient. On moving day I needed 2 pods. The second pod was not available. Budget Pro Movers took over and told me not to worry they would take care of everything and they did. I am very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again."

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Old Fort, 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.
