"My interaction with Jordan Gast (and later with the owner Jim Briley) was first rate. Jordan was very knowledgeable, thorough and helpful in designing a solution. He also allowed me to pester him at several later times with questions and concerns. The work done (with the company owner actually participating in the project) was absolutely first rate. They left the site having created a beautiful addition to the yard that I believe will provide the drainage relief that was needed. The owner actually spent several hours digging under a buried rock to ensure optimal drain pipe placement; it would have been very easy to just run the pipe over the top of the rock but he insisted on getting it right. I believe that Jordan and Jim are both honest and competent in their work. I would not recommend anyone but them for work of this nature. I stated NA on the pricing question because I got no other quotes with which to compare because I was completely satisfied about using this company after our first meeting. We are 100% satisfied with the results."

"Tyler was punctual, professional, and worked hard to get our many outlets installed. He left the workspace cleaner than he found it and was diligent in making sure the job was done exactly how we wanted it. We’ll definitely be using TE again when we’re ready to finish the rest of the basement and will recommend them to others. Thank you, Tyler!"

"Everything went great! From first contact with Curt who scheduled the quote, Randy to quote the job, and then Jonathan and his team of two to fix everything, the team at Sundry was awesome!
 I called to schedule to have someone come out and give me a quote after our basement started leaking like the titanic. We had been quoted a repair about 8 years ago for over $10,000. There was no way we could afford a project like that so we were glad that Atlanta went through a drought. With over 95" of rain at our house this year, the basement began to flood again. Two days before Christmas and 7" inches of rain of rain later, we bailed for 2 days straight. 
To Angie's List I went! I sent two Internet email requests to others on Angie's List companies but Sun Dry you had to call! Gasp! They had great ratings on Angie's List and they were more local than the National names for waterproofing (one which previously had given me a $10,000 quote).  Curt answered the phone! Scheduled an appointment the following week. He called to remind me of the appointment the day previous to our scheduled time, told me Randy would be there to walk through the job and reminded me the quote was free so ask lots of questions. 
The date of the appointment arrived and I got a call from Randy that he was running about 45 minutes behind. He had been caught up on another consultation but would arrive at our house as soon as possible. Really? No one ever calls these days when they were going to be late! So I began to think the consultation would be less likely a car salesman, high pressure "deal" like 8 years previous. 
Randy spent an hour discussing the pros and cons to the two or three options we had. (Though I had done some research already to what I wanted). The lifetime guarantee sold me on the interior (which I did not want to do) option.  Hey if I can guarantee a dry basement to the buyer of my home...that was a done deal!  He never pushed any add-ons and told us we did not need some additional expensive repair work. He did tell us if we wanted certain additional things done that Sun Dry could do them but never pressed the issue. Even answered a non-related foundation issue that we had of bricks falling of the garage with not a big issue, just cosmetic. Our Twenty -Four year old house has its issues!
I knew the price range of the job after talking to several people who have had their basements repaired in Conyers recently.  It was a fair price, the 10% coupon on Angie's list was honored and away we signed. 
Curt got us scheduled, he called twice to confirm the job and told me when the crew would arrive. He missed the guesstimate by 5 minutes. :) Jonathan arrived at 9:35 am. His crew was professionally dressed and ready to work.  He walked me through what he was going to do for two days. My husband and I both work from home so just to let you know the first day is LOUD! Randy told me they would Jackhammer and away they did! The entire outdoor front drainage system was done the first day.  Cleaned up and not a piece of  trash to be found. Day two: Jonathan and crew arrived on-time and ready to work. The interior drainage system and cement job was done by 6:00 pm as promised.  Basement is cleaned as well as to be expected. Jackhammering does create quite a mess but most of our unfinished basement "crap" was covered in plastic by the crew.  There also was some additional damage that Jonathan felt needed attention and did the work without any additional charge. "We did not charge you for the additional wall repair, but it needed to be done and done correctly." Really? Again, Awesome customer service from the first phone call to every detail in the basement! 
The biggest kuddo, besides the complete professionalism, was Jonathan engaging my 8 year old son who loves to work with his hands. He told him what they were doing, joked he could work with the crew and was great with my over-curious son. They even told both my kids they could leave their "mark" by writing their name and putting their hand prints in the concrete if it was okay with us. Yes! they loved it and now we have a personal memento of all the hard "bailing" work we did this year.
I took a picture of their "signature" to mark the occasion. 
One additional note: I am on the Board of Directors with a gentleman who owns a home remodeling business. He knew of my issues in the basement this year.  We were laughing over all the issues in my basement and that I FINALLY fixed my issue...Him: Who are you having fix the basement? Me: Sun Dry.   Him: Really? (Shaking his head), they do all my waterproofing in my remodels.  Any problems we have had at all, they handle it immediately. You dealing with Curt?
I knew then for sure I had picked the right company.
Bring on the rain and let me toast a glass of wine to a dry basement. If not, I am calling Curt to send back Jonathan!!

"Along with new driveway they waterproofed my garage wall, that was leaking and installed diverters for the water from my roof. Would recommend them for any concrete work and waterproofing you would need done. ONLY REASON FOR 4.5 STAR IS THEY LEFT A LARGE STAIN IN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE DUE TO HYDROLIC LEAK IN ONE OF THERE MACHINES. {POWER WASHER WILL NOT REMOVE IT}"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Atlanta, GA

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.
