"We needed a creative solution to address a very steep bank and drainage issue in the backyard of a house we just bought for our parents. Dave was super engaged and very thoughtful about the design options that would address the water drainage concerns while being very attentive to our desire to have a very natural look, including us in all aspects of the project design and implementation. He ended up building a four tiered, terraced retaining wall, installed a gravel drainage system, stone steps and railing, and some additional landscape cleanup and grading. The outcome exceeded our expectations, in large part due to Dave’s attention to detail and listening to the customer. He went out of his way to consider the needs of my aging parents with respect to the hard scape work (steps with railing) and ensured the choice of all materials met our preferences. Highly recommend him for any challenging grading, water drainage, hard scape/ retaining wall issues you might have."

"I needed some grading to expand my driveway area, scraping of old gravel onto new expanded driveway area, and delivery and spreading of top soil to fill in the old gravel area. I called on Saturday and Shane and Ian came out and completed the job on Monday. They did exactly what I asked and I appreciate that they were mindful of leaving a neat/clean slope beside the newly leveled area that will make it easy to seed with grass in the spring."

"Masle and his team did an excellent job, going above and beyond to repair the entire system, replacing all of the rotten sills, beams and floor joists in a 120 year old mill house. And since he was also able to do the encapsulation and drainage system installation, I was able to work with one company to get everything completed. His pricing was very good, and added additional piers when he found it necessary without charging extra. I would highly recommend Uneven Floor Solutions for any foundation issues you might have."

"Ben Franklin and especially Phillip Munoz were great. Though booked thru Nov., Phillip came out on a Sat to look at an outside leak that was causing tons of water usage and a leak into the basement. He had to come back the following Sat when a backhoe was available and go down 7 feet to get to the leak. He and his partner got totally filthy but fixed the problem. They cleaned up the area and gave good advice on a couple other potential problems. I plan to use them again for a drainage problem and recommend them wholeheartedly."

"Great! The work was done last November and I chose to wait a couple months to see if the fix would last over time. It did! They also had another drainage issue that I was unaware of. Fixed that too at no extra charge. I had 3 estimates. I picked Falcone because their solution made the most sense to me...and they had the lowest cost estimate. Great people to work with. They installed a french drain,a sump pump, and reran gutter downspouts."

"We hired this company based on the professionalism Joey displayed when he did the estimate for installing a foundation drain. The first day the crew did not arrive until 11 and left around 2. The second day the crew was called off to finish another job. Once the work commenced the foundation proved to be more formidible than original; however, there was other work that could have been completed. Part of the repair included fixing our cedar closet. When told the original material was unavailable and asked if a *matching material* could be used. I agreed. Well the matching material was plain plywood and looks terrible. When pressed on the issue, the project manager acted like a bully and was very unpleasant. So now I am paying a carpenter to finish the work. The company never even offered to reimburse me for the work they did not finish."

"Our driveway was filled with pot holes from recent rain storms. Ricky Cook Excavating provided an estimate and completed the job in a timely manner. Fresh gravel and grading made all the difference in the world. I would recommend and use them for future projects."

"I had my foundation and basement waterproofed from the inside by Groundworx. The first bit wasn’t good bc I got my appt cancelled and then the next appt no one showed up. So, by appt #3 I got Carlton. He was great. Super helpful, knowledgeable, etc. I purchased the services bc we really needed it asap as I had major mold growing in my basement from the previous owners negligence. I do feel like the price was too high but that’s a Groundworx issue. NOT a Carlton issue. I understand the rep doesn’t control the cost of services. For two days and waterproofing it was around 13-14k. It was extensive work but I did the demolition and removal myself to save $$. The work started and we had Von, Tim, Will and another gentleman. The guys were great. Beyond awesome. They explained so much and helped me with my silly questions. We really enjoyed them and they made the job site so clean it was like they were never there (except for my new pump and my ripped out basement haha 😂) they clearly know"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Asheville, NC

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.
