"I hired them to repair a crack in my basement wall that had a small leak. They were very professional. They filled the crack with foam injections and backed their work with a 5-year transferrable warranty. I had discussed this with other companies that wanted to charge me thousands of dollars and dig up my foundation for a little crack. These guys were good, quick, efficient and helpful. They gave me other tips for finishing my basement while they were there. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend them."

"The big deal was $49 for sump pump inspection, and they were awesome. They complimented us on the product we had purchased years ago, and that it was perfect and running fine. They made a couple of suggestions for a back up in the future, which we elected not to do at this time. They were very good, and we had no problems. We did not spend any more than the $49 of the big deal."

" We had a challenging project with water removal and structural support issues. Our crew of Tim (Foreman), Marq, Jayshawn, and Devon worked diligently to install a new drainage system and support beam for the house, spending late nights to get the job done. Thanks to (Manager) Cornell for his assistance on this complex project. Matt E "

"Shannon is just great. Was early for the estimate, which I liked. Showed up early for the installation of the new drain pipe. Did a great job. Looking outside you can hardly tell he was here. For any future crawlspace needs, he will be the first one I call for sure. Pricing is fair and reasonable....overall a great experience and will recommend him to everyone!!"

"We live in Meridian-Kessler and watched two neighbors on our block endure the inconvenience and stress of sewer line collapses and back-ups into their basements.  In order to prevent the same fate for us, we decided to be proactive and have our sewer line redone before we had any problems.  The gentlemen at SLB were amazing -- they were incredibly responsive to our questions, our schedules, and our concerns.  They were able to dig a small hole (approximately 3 x 4 feet) in the concrete basement floor and they cleaned and relined the sewer line from that access point (they even rolled up our carpet and moved our basement furniture for us!).  The job took two days (each about 1/2 day) with no interruption to our home life (all work was completed while we were at work).  We now have a re-lined sewer line with a 50 year guarantee with no mess, no damage to our yard or landscaping, and all at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. <br />"

"Chris and his team provided me with outstanding service. They installed an irrigation system which could not all be handled with machinery. Some of the channels had to be done by hand due to parts of my yard being a rock garden and others with flower beds. They did excellent work, tuned the setup for effective coverage and cleaned up nicely post the installation. Their price was also very competitive. Thank you so much Chris and team."

"Guys showed up as was told by Jimmy. I was worried about the integrity of my brick foundation being compromised being a hundred years old and having no footer. So salesman Andrew said guys will break up the concrete floor, lay tile, and concrete one wall at a time do it may take 3 days to complete job. I liked their drain tile the best out of the companies that came by and his answer to preserving my brick foundation. So I hired them I was a little shocked at the 40% down to get scheduled and started seeing how many bad contractors are out there ripping people off. But I paid the 40% and as advertised guys showed up 3.5 weeks later to do the job. Guys finished in one day which was surprising to me because salesman Andrew said 3 days to make sure brick foundation was cared for but that didn't happen. Guys cleaned up after themselves, when done collected payment and explained warranty info. Quality of work was good details could have been better or more crisp like the application of cleanspace to wall wallintegrityand lip board that will catch any water running down wall.I would hire again as long as my brick foundation maintains its integrity. And so far no water in basement. <br />"

"We had scheduled with Foundation Drs to inspect a crawl space. I needed it for a home purchase and had scheduled it a week in advance. On the day of, they called and cancelled just 4 hours before our appointment. Because the inspection had to be completed on a timeline, I had to drop everything and find a different provider that could come out the same day. I was really disappointed in the last minute cancel. It was very inconvenient and I would not recommend this provider due to that. So, the service was not performed. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Albion, IN

Expect a well-built French drain to last 30 to 40 years. By channeling both surface- and ground-water away from your foundation, the system relieves hydrostatic pressure and helps prevent costly structural damage. Choose a pipe with a quality cloth filter to keep sediment out and extend the drain’s life. A quick annual inspection and routine cleanouts will keep water flowing freely, ensuring the system continues to protect your home for years to come.

Most French drains sit two feet below grade, but depth ultimately depends on the problem you’re solving. For puddling rainwater or snowmelt, a shallow curtain drain at lawn level often does the trick. To handle rising groundwater, pros dig deeper, down to the footing, and run the pipe beneath the basement slab. A drainage contractor will determine the optimal depth for your specific soil conditions and water issues.

A properly installed interior French drain captures water at the slab, channels it to a sump pit, and directs it safely outside, preventing basement floods before they occur. Because the pipe sits just under the floor edge, a plumber can reach it easily for cleaning or repairs. Pairing the drain with a reliable sump pump gives you the best long-term protection.

Hire a contractor who installs drainage systems every day—typically a foundation specialist, drainage contractor, experienced landscaper, or plumber with waterproofing experience. These pros understand slope, soil, and local codes, and they have the equipment to trench safely around utilities. Ask for references and photos of recent jobs to be sure they can design a system that keeps water off your foundation for decades.

Once the drain is in, patch the yard by reseeding bare spots or replacing plants the crew removed. Inside, look for ways to add value—finishing the basement or upgrading interior waterproofing while the space is open often costs less now than later. Schedule a quick annual checkup to flush sediment and confirm the pipe and sump pump are clear. Consistent maintenance ensures the drain functions properly and protects your investment.

Most policies don’t cover the cost of repairing a French drain itself, but they may provide coverage for water damage if the system fails. Coverage varies by insurer, so be sure to read the fine print or contact your agent before any issues arise. If you live in a high-risk flood zone, consider a separate flood policy to close the gap. Knowing your coverage in advance helps you budget for repairs and avoid unexpected costs.
