"The dispatcher forgot to put me on the morning work order, so the plumber arrived late. Other than that, everything went well. The plumber's estimate for the work was reasonably priced so we proceeded with the repairs. He did the work quickly and took the time to answer all my questions about both device function and town regulations. He measured and adjusted the water pressure on the house side of the RPZ after installation and cleaned the yard where he'd been working. <br /> I also asked him about an old back flow protection device on my sprinkler system. He said it was working fine and recommended against replacing it until if fails. That was actually a test to see if he'd try to perform unnecessary work. He passed with an and quot;Aand quot;. I'll use him again. <br /> <br />"

"We had Efficient install a new gas water heater for us. We received 3 estimates, but their representative, Steve was the most professional and friendliest. They were able to get us on the schedule quickly. The installation team were on time, clean, professional, and friendly. The install was completed in a couple of hours for a good price. My wife and I are incredibly pleased with the whole experience. A big thanks to the whole Efficient team."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Alvin and Nathan on a complete overhaul of our irrigation system, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, they demonstrated outstanding professionalism, technical expertise, and a strong attention to detail. They took the time to assess our existing system thoroughly, explained their plan clearly, and were incredibly responsive to our questions throughout the process. The new system they installed is not only more efficient but also much easier to manage, saving us both time and water. Their work was neat, timely, and well-coordinated, and they made sure everything was working perfectly before wrapping up. It's rare to find a team that combines skill with such great customer service. We highly recommend Alvin and Nathan for anyone needing irrigation work—they truly went above and beyond."

"Samantha (office admin) had clear, consistent, friendly, and prompt communication and continues to this day. The installation occurred on 03/15/17 with no issues. I never even met the crew as I was out of town during that time. I came home and the gutters were installed and looked great. I was really happy they suggested the leaf screens because in almost a year, I've only needed to get up there once and brush the leaves and sticks away from the gutters. No clogging of leaves (and I have a big red oak that dumps a ton of leaves on my house). I noticed right away that the way the water was moving (or not moving) on the house was an issue (I don't believe this was an installation issue, but rather a house issue). I immediately emailed Samantha about the concern and she said they would come out there and re-evaluate the installation and the gutters. I told her I wanted to wait and see how the gutters performed a little more and she told me to let her know when I wanted Dale to come back out. Well, I learned a lot about my house and drainage and gutters in the last 10 months, and I was having some major drainage issues on the property which was causing a lot of water under my house and shifting in my pier and beam foundation, so I needed to get a drainage system hooked up to the gutters and send the water out to the street (over-simplification but the details don't matter as much). I called Austin Affordable Gutters, and within a few days, Dale was out here, 10 months after install, evaluating what happened and is scheduled with a week to add two more downspouts and a splash guard, free of charge to the house and is willing to communicate with the drainage company regarding coordinating installation to make sense for what they are doing. I can't say enough about Dale, Samantha, and Austin Affordable Gutters- with this whole drainage issue, I felt I was "losing against water", and Dale and Samantha felt like a little win for me. A company that cares about me, even nearly a year later, and how their product performs and is willing to adjust it with no extra cost to me. You have a lot of choices, and I know, as a first time home-buyer, that can be VERY overwhelming. But Samantha, Dale, and Austin Affordable Gutters were definitely the best choice and I would totally choose them again."

"My project manager was out of town when the work was completed and I had some concerns about the work that was done. The work did not turn out as I had wanted or expected. When my project manager returned (just a few days), he came out to my house and reviewed the work and listened to my concerns. He scheduled a crew to come out to the house and complete the work that I requested. I was very satisfied with the end results and how the project turned out. This was the second time I have used Austin Drainage & Landscape. The first time was a number of years ago and I was very satisfied with what they did for me then as well. I would use them again if I ever needed their services."

"Went great. Chris flushed out all of my septic lines and hydrojetted each one to remove roots. He checked my two valves and added a root killer to pump tank. His price was very fair and my final bill was exactly what I was expecting. He is very knowledgeable about septic systems and always explained what he found and what needed (and why) to be done. I will definitely use him again."

"We have American Home Shield (AHS) and they assigned a company to come out and identify the problem. They speculated that it might be necessary to tear up the tile floor and air hammer out our chisel out concrete to get to the leak. However, it appeared that the leak was around the coupling just as it entered the floor. But it looked like a potentially expensive job and they quoted me $1800 to fix it. When I found out who would do the work and not the "older guy" who came out, I told AHS that I wanted to opt for the $500 cash-out option in my contract. I didn't want their assigned company. I told the company and AHS that I wanted to go direct and get reimbursed. I then began to look for another company that could do this and potentially save some money. I didn't like the idea of a fixed quote of $1800 for something that might not be a big deal. That's when I called Texas APS and their guy, Matt, came out to look at our problem. He looked over the situation and then gave his manager his assessment. Texas APS came back with a quote that was a range of between $750 to $2400, worst case scenario. This was much more appealing than a fixed, worst case scenario quote. Texas APS then sent out their plumbing specialist, Matt. Matt is a cautious, discerning person who carefully deterined that it appeared the crack/leak was only coming from the pipe coupling. This meant it was not below the floor level. He carefully removed the PVC coupling from around the pipe and replaced it with a new coupling and section of large, flexible, black rubber hose. This all worked and solved our problem. He was done in two hours and we saved a lot of money. I'll soon be 70 and over the years I have seen a lot of contractors and when looking for one, you want 1) someone you can trust to do the job right and 2) price it right, price it fairly. Texas APS was that company and and did just that. I have to give credit to Matt who I believe made all the difference in the world. He's a problem solver who cares about the work he does and the customer. The other company has been quoted as saying "AHS is my customer" not the consumer. Texas APS is not affiliated with AHS and only care about the end-user customer. I highly recommend Texas APS if you have a gnarly plumbing problem."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Dripping Springs, TX

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.
