Struggling with Backyard Grading Issues? Call Us!
Your house has to sit on pitchers in order to facilitate proper drainage away from the home, especially for roof water and surface water. You need to make sure that it stays around 30 feet away from the home to ensure your basement is kept as dry as possible. When you have a negative grade and water is pitched back toward the foundation, it can cause problems and may lead to costly repairs.
This can happen through gutter problems or landscaping, since people build landscaping in front of the home, or build a hill. The water then stays in that valley instead of draining away, causing sump pump problems, and water pooling, among others. At Murphy’s Law Home Inspection we’ll rearrange and reconfigure your landscape so that water can drain properly.
Edging around a home can also create drainage problems, so we encourage customers to use round stones instead of mulch because it is a great filter for the water and a long-lasting option that will help with drainage.

We Work With the Best Clients
- We would highly recommend Glenn for any and all services. He fixed our sump pump drainage issues and was really helpful and knowledgeable. He fixed our issue for a fraction of what other companies were quoting and we really felt like we could trust him and the quality of his work.read moreread lessAngela K.11/20/2018
- I contacted Glenn(the owner) regarding the gutter leak. Upon his inspection and his analysis of the problem he found other gutters and downspouts leakage and pointed out the root cause of the leakage - not fully functional underground drainage system.
In his proposal he gave a very detailed description of the job: placing 3 conductor lines, attaching downspouts with "Y" fittings, cleaning and servicing all gutters and end caps and elbows, installing gutter screws to existing gutters, spraying facia board where the wood has softened. He even provided a diagram of the conductor lines from the house to the sidewalk and to the storm drain.
He has done everything that was in the contract and beyond. At no charge he fixed the chimney flashing at the gutter, filled the cracks at the foundation corner.
We did have to call him back as as one of the gutters was still leaking. He replaced that gutter at no charge.
He went above and beyond his call of duty, he even gave me a maintenance manual he created for homeowners since he is also a certified home inspector.
Everything was done in a timely fashion( as weather allowed). Even my dad, who is very handy and hard to please, was impressed with Glenn's work!
From now on, Glenn will be my "go to", "default" person whom I can trust because he is honest and professional.read moreread lessOlga V.6/18/2018The response from this business was prompt and the owner was incredibly thorough with his assessment of what needed to occur with the gutter that was hanging. He also pointed out a few other items that he believes may be beneficial to proactively repair when the weather breaks, as opposed to waiting until they must be fixed (like the hanging gutter). Very professional and thorough and would highly recommend him.read moreread lessSusan S.2/24/2018The owner went out of his way to explain how they cleaned my gutters and all that was involved. Not only did they put all the debris in bags to take out to the trash, but they explained the minor items they fixed, what shape my gutters were in, and what to keep an eye on. They even come back for free if you have a stick or something that falls into the gutter, to remove it. I was impressed with the owner and his character and how quickly they got the job done. Will absolutely use again!read moreread lessPamela S.11/29/2017 - Glenn was so professional and right on time. There ended up only being a small issue with my sump pump that took him about 5 minutes to diagnose. He did not charge me despite me telling him I would completely pay a service call fee. So kind. As I am in contract on my home selling, I sent him my request to remedy form and he is handling some of the other items on the list for me. Reasonable pricing and I will keep his name in my contacts. So nice to find honest, good people in home repair!read moreread lessTraci M.11/04/2016
- Really nice guys. They finished the work when promised and did a great job. They even did extra to prevent other problems. They repaired the gutters, reran the gutter lines to the street and replaced the sod. You can barely notice that they were there. I highly recommend them and we will use them again.read moreread lessEric N.6/21/2016
- Absolutely we recommend this service provider. When water engulfs your foundation you deserve a provider that calms your concerns and offers solutions. Glen offers solutions, tips, advice, insight and an education that empowers the owner to make a decision. He adds extra touches of assurance to the job and goes above and beyond to ensure the customer is happy with the work. As other posters have said, if the job requires more than anticipated, he will let you know the value without feeling the sticker shock, will not add on to the cost of the job. Murphy's Law does the right thing and we highly recommend them for your sump pump issues.
RG/MG, N. Westerville, OH Arearead moreread less6/15/2016Excellent professionals whose work was thorough. Glenn brought years of experience and know-how to the job; he was informative and his advice was valuable. They arrived on time for the appointment, went right to work, and their cleanup was complete and quick. I will definitely call on "Murphy's Law again!read moreread lessDorothy K.6/08/2016 - I was very impressed with Glenn. He and his workers fixed and updated our gutters. They were extremely quick and even though they ultimately had to use more materials than originally anticipated, he still charged the same amount he verbally quoted in the beginning. Will definitely recommend him to others and would use him for future needs.read moreread lessMichael C.5/04/2016I needed a sump pump installed and went to HomeAdvisor to find the right company. Instead of a company, I was sent an angel. Glenn is absolutely wonderful. He is very personable, responsive, knowledgeable and efficient. He is also very reasonably priced. There is no pressure from him to do other work. I have already hired him to do additional work. I would and have highly recommend him.read moreread lessPatricia G.4/29/2016
- Glen is super reliable and a hard worker. He fixed my gutters and completely gutted my basement down to the block to fix it. He identified the factors contributing to the moisture and fixed those things in order to control the water. My basement is the dryest it has been, and I didn't spend 15k on a waterproofing system!read moreread lessBreanne B.2/14/2016
