"David recently came out for a periodic system inspection and promptly replaced a sump pump exit line valve out in the yard that had been damaged by a lawnmower. we discussed adding a backup to the sump pump, which I decided to do. Matthew was out in just a few days to take care of that installation. Everything went quickly and smoothly. These guys are pros."

"Yes, the crew (Isaiah, Brian and Austin), were very professional and hardworking. They were fun to have around and they did a great job. They removed the original shims under the girders and carefully replaced them with steel shims. My house now sits on a better and more secure system. I would definitely recommend Thomas waterproofing."

"With the recent snow melt and the rain we are having this may be a timely recommendation. I hope you don’t have this need, but if you do I would like to recommend Master Service Company. We had at least six estimates for waterproofing our basement and although not nearly the cheapest, we were impressed by the presentation and the personnel and low key sales approach. So, we hired them! The work was done last week and again we were impressed with the crew doing the work, the care given to hold down the dust created, the quality of the materials used, and the willingness of the crew to keep us apprised of the job as it progressed. The was great care given to cleanup of what is a very messy job. We waited until the repair had been “battle tested”, (and this inclement weather has certainly accomplished that) before writing a recommendation. We could not be more pleased at this point. Again I hope you don’t have the need, but if you do give Mr. Jeff Russell at Master Service a call. Contact: Jeff Russell 317-720-3288."

"I had a significant erosion problem on a sloped portion of my yard. Putnam Greenspace provided a quote that included the cost of all materials, so I knew what I would be paying. The topsoil was delivered, graded, raked, and seeded. Erosion control netting was laid down and all was done on time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Putnam Greenspace to anyone. As an addition to this project, Putnam Greenspace also cleared out an old burn pile in my back yard that included concrete blocks and fence wire. This was not a job that I could easily have accomplished - if at all - by hand. The site was left cleared and leveled and ready to go."

"We called on a Saturday and left two messages on what seemed to be their emergency response line, no callback. We had used them before for a large job just a month ago so I had one of their plumbers' numbers, texted him and never got a reply. Finally on Monday I got a response - if this had been a larger leak I would have stopped right here and called a more responsive plumber. We were contacted on Monday and they said they could come out that afternoon, I met them at my house within the contact window and got several notices they were coming via email and phone call. They were prompt and responsive once we got them on the job. Two plumbers came out; the lead plumber said he could replace the valve, but then said that they really should replace both hot and cold valves since they both were old. He gave me two quotes, one where he replaced just the leaky valve and the faucet install and it was somewhere around $325(!) - the second where he did both and the faucet for $275. Both of these were more than I wanted to spend and I was pretty confident about my ability to replace the faucet, so I said specifically "I want you to only replace the hot water valve, nothing else". According to the itemization on the receipt, this should have been around $160 or so. They go get parts and get to work on it, but then after a little while they ask me about re-using the faucet, if they could damage it to get it off. I was definitely confused and alarmed at this point, they were supposed to just be replacing one valve - I come into the kitchen and they had started pulling out the old faucet and already pulled off the old lines that came up from the valves and effectively damaged it to the point that we had to proceed with the new faucet. I was upset about this and they offered to discount the total price by $50 to compensate for the misunderstanding if we proceeded with the faucet replacement; apparently he had thought I was going with their first quote. He went ahead and put in the new faucet and new lines up to it from the valves, and replaced just the one broken valve. I was glad to have the new lines put in as they were more secure and the work was done neatly. I did have the wrong faucet type (no sprayer). and had to go back myself and swap that out after they left, but that was my fault for purchasing the wrong type - a warning would have been nice, but they did what I asked and I can't fault that. Overall, I was put off by the "upsell" nature of the call - it felt like they were adding work to bump up the price and I have already spent nearly $4000 with them replacing pipes this year, so that felt like they were trying to just milk me. And while I think it was a mistake and the guy really just didn't hear what I said, I ended up ultimately paying for work I didn't really want done - it was discounted enough that I wasn't too upset though. Michael's has never been the cheapest option but they do good work, so I didn't mind getting my major pipes replaced through them. I don't think I will call them for smaller service issues again though, and it seems I can't rely on weekend service from them in an emergency."

"Removed flying squirrels and gray squirrels. Installed new, heavy duty screens over attic vents. Have not had any issues since this work was done. Did initial cleaning of stucco. Said he was getting another surface cleaner to possibly do a better job. Never called. Never came back. I repeatedly called and left messages. I emailed him. He never responded. Very surprised and disappointed."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Crossville, TN

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.
