"They did a great job. They were able to use a small pump to pump the waste water out before replacing the broken pump. The other company wanted us to pay for a pump truck costing $600 before giving the estimate."

"Please get all the details in the contract about the materials. UPDATE 1/1/24: I am writing this review with my valuable time after I was thinking a lot. I found that Wladimir Simos the owner from WS builders did not do any big job and had no work experience before like mine and I let him to practice on my project as his learning school. Which was my mistake as well. There were so many issues during the construction and after the construction completed as well. I reviewed him with good rating before expecting he would fix all the issues on timely manner but I had to beg him ten times to fix his own issues and I want other people know this and not experience what i I experienced. His plumbing and Hvac work was worse in my house. They did not pass the rough inspection in three times and the final inspection was not passed in 4 times. They were making holes and cutting the joints in the places where was against the building code. My project got delayed 4 months just because of their silly mistakes. Lot of thing that I had on my original contract was not followed. He would not put the details on contract and use whatever materials he could use to save the cost. We had contract to use the medium/standard grade materials for everything and I did not know the details of materials since it was my first project. I found that he used laminated counter top instead of granite and laminated cabinets instead of solid wood and they already started chipping within 1 year from completion. He put very small and cheap vanity in my 4 full bathroom which is only 3 feet wider. Bath tub also in very low quality. I had to make him read the contact again to make him put shower glass and install pull stairs to roof that was in contract already. After the final inspection passed and we moved to new unit; the hvac system broke in both of my new addition. It took very long to fix it after more than 5 service. There was multiple water leaking in both both units from bathroom and other surfaces as well. He put the hvac in the roof instead of that supposed to be in mechanical room in the first floor. They did not put the drain pipe in the beginning and had to cut all the walls to fix it. Also, they did not put the vents for my laundry dryer and had to cut the wall again. Moreover, they had three broken window and multiple broken screen on my windows and some of them are not even replaced yet. Its one year only now and the owner from WS builder is very mad to hear the problems from his fixing. He texts me not to bother him anymore. I just had water leak from the HVAC unit and the water tray was broken and ceiling and lights got damaged. I used someone else to fix it and spent a lot. The main entrance door had air leak and it has not been fixed yet and i am losing the heat from cold air. The siding they installed had very poor and cheapest quality. It fell more than 4 times and still about to fall. Not only this; he took money to build two shades and was very low quality foundation it collapsed and I called other contractor to fix it. He also took extra money for retail wall and did not compact the soil good and the level went down afterwards and driveway got all cracked. The fence he installed should hace cement post and he did put cement and just dig holes and installed. Also he left my land to the neighbor and moved the fence toward my land. It is more lot to explain and I would not recommend this builder if you looking for quality work and perfection."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Chestnut Hill, MA

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.
