"Great job. Anthony did a complete review of the house and the current venting and recommended the proper size for the AC. The installers and electricians came 3 days later, did additional wiring and piping and installed the entire system in 5 hours."

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.

With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"I had three bids and this was the best....If you check their website they say they do quality work at a fair price and I can certainly attest to this as we have used their services two times, once for our main water line and now our sewer pipe. I would recommend them to anyone that has a plumbing problem as they came on time, did a great job and cleaned up the site perfectly for a very fair price. Especially want to commend Darius who dug the seven foot hole and worked so hard as we have a lot of rocks in our soil and it is not easy to dig..he was amazing and very pleasant. Leo, the estimator and John were also very nice and pleasant to work with and I highly recommend this company. <br />"

"exactly as planned. The office manager was very thorough, and called to let me know an earlier appt became available. Marcos was very professional, clean, and thorough. I appreciated the fixed price per toilet install vs. by the hour, which was great."

"I called because the water heater did not automatically turn on when the water temperature dropped below the set ting. TLC said they would arrive between 10 ant noon but called to say they were running late.  I find this very common with many providers but still I think it unprofessional. Anyway, the plumber came and determined that the gas control valve was bad. He called his office and they said the part was available but was downtown.  The plumber gave me a price of about $250 to install even though the part was under warranty. I agreed to that price. He went downtown but when he came back 2 hours later he said that the part they had was the wrong one and brought me a new water heater instead and now the price was $565 to install. Well, I have no water heater so I am forced to accept this.  <br /> I ended up with a new water heater and a new warranty but I did spend more than my budget.  If it wasn't that the part would take till the next week to get, because of the 4th holiday, I would have done without hot water for a day.  <br /> The installation was professional and the place was left clean. I have used TLC in the past and they continue to have courteous and professional technician."

".The job went great, except that when it began, as with any project, when you start digging and moving things around, you find other things that you didn't know were there.  <br /> In our case, a drain pipe was found where a footing was supposed to go.  RAD let us know immediately and proposed a solution that worked around the drain line (much better than moving it) and provided an approved cost effective alternative to the original plan. <br /> RAD, at our request, obtained City permits and coordinated inspections by City inspectors. <br /> A great job by all - workers, office staff, we are very pleased.  we would use them again and recommend them. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Borrego Springs, CA

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.
