We are a Christian based company that specializes in concrete finishing. We can assist with all of your concrete needs.
"The work was amazing. The price was definitely more than competitive. But like most contractors, you have to stay on top of the management and foreman, to ensure that they understand the scope and the details and are performing them as desired. I am extremely pleased with the work, but had to provide a lot of guidance and preventing of counter-suggestions from what it is I needed. That said, they were far more responsive than other family owned contractors that I had provide a quote.P"

"This started out kind of odd but not terrible, with the inspector/salesperson, when trying to hold them accountable the gentleman thought"lol" was the best response to a customer. The work performed looks ok to me so far other than them completely destroying the vapor barrier we paid to have put in 2 years ago. They were hired to fix a water issue in the process they created another one. Leading you to assume its just more work they can get down the road, why else would you preform services like this?It was cut in suc a way that you can pull to and repair. It is so discouraging to do business with a company that doesn't care about what you have already had to spend or do. Again when trying to get this fixed you are laughed at, its incredible.

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.
