"Real Seal are very professional. Came out when they said, sent estimate and set up to have work done in a timely matter. The technician sealed two cracks in our foundation crawl space. Did a excellent job and was very friendly and knowledgable. I will be using them again for another crack."

"Called for an estimate. No technician fee just to come out like the big companies try to charge. Told me their flat rate prices. Ended up becoming a large job. Started working on it right away. They were straight forward and transparent. Small family owned company. Quality work. Prices seemed very fair compared to my research online. Already recommended them to my neighbor and will go back to them for any future plumbing issues."

"Per my landscape contractor I requested a quote on patio leveling with a 1" raised pitch toward the back of the yard. After 2 conversations with salesman about this specific request, I put a downpayment and the install crew came out. Before work began I again said the scope was leveling with 1" pitch toward back of the yard. The crew foreman acknowledged. After work was done, I expressed concern that there was no 1" pitch, rather 1/4" pitch. After expressing my concerns to the office, they offered to come bacf out with increased risk of cracking the existing cement. I declined for obvious reasons. The collections agent said page 10 of the contract says this process is only to 'stabilize' the concrete. After BBB complaint, Bill Jirsa said the 1" is only a 'target'. No one discussed this during estimate discussions or installation. Nowhere on their website does it discuss this is only to 'stabilize' or it only guarantees 'target' raising. The water is still pooling on my patio."

"Had a 5-hour window to deal with. Plumber was very friendly. Cost was ridiculously high with a number just thrown out there for the cost. No breakdown of charges. Turns out it didn’t fix the issue, so back to square one."

"Good work in general; our basement no longer sees water for over 3 years now, which is the most important thing. But there were some real issues: The biggest issue is that USW did not adhere to local electrical codes, and did not arrange for a final inspection of the project. So we didn't find out that it wasn't to code until years later, and now it's a big hassle and minor cost to fix and get the permits. Ask your local gov yourself what you need to do for permits and inspections; don't rely on USW! USW said they would seal any foundation cracks found along the way; they didn't do this until I bugged the warranty dept about it (but they did do it eventually). USW sent someone out for the "annual checkup"... over 2 years after the install. It's a good thing they (eventually) did, because they discovered the backup battery wasn't charging. Now I know to check this stuff better myself. Prices also vary wildly and are kind of negotiable (I'd give more detail but I'm out of space)"

"I had an emergency plumbing situation at my rental property that required major work. A Solution came out the same day that I called (Saturday, within 2 hours) and assessed the problem. Due to the severity of the problem of my tenant's only washroom, it was placed out of commission. To my surprise, they agreed to come out on Sunday (Father's Day) to rod out the main drian line for the washroom allowing my tenants to use the washroom until the major repair was performed. A Solution returned Monday and completed the repair. All work was done in a professional manner and met all municipal codes. I was well pleased with the service and the professionalism that was provided. Thanks for coming through for me in a pinch."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Burbank, IL

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.
