"Clinton Twaddle and his crew are very professional and very friendly.  We were doing a major remodel on our kitchen (removing walls) and and we needed the gas lines and water lines moved to accommodate the new location of our stove and refrigerator.  I used Twaddle Plumbing the previous month when we moved our laundry room to the opposite side of our house.  In both cases, Clinton came by and gave me an estimate and told me when he could start the job.  They showed up on time, were very fast and efficient, and kept me informed as they were d*** the work.  In the first job where we needed new plumbing for the washer including a drain in the basement, Clinton was able to hook into the basement bathroom drain which saved us a couple hundred dollars because he did not have to jackhammer the basement floor.  In the second job, where he was moving the gas and water lines, I asked his crew if they could run a gas line to the outside by my patio so we could hook up the grill.  They were very accommdating and charged me a minimal extra fee outside the original estimate. I would not hesitate to call Twaddle Plumbing again for any plumbing needs.  I highly recommend Twaddle Plumbing if you are looking for someone who is honest, professional, friendly and fair in his prices. <br />"

"Great company to work with! I had been given recommendations not to go with the other local company so I went with B-Dry instead. They were easy to work with and even though the job I had done was expensive the price seemed very fair plus a warranty to back it up. They did an excellent job and even cleaned up afterwards. I did have an issue after the install but they got it taken care with no hassle. Never thought my basement would be usable for anything till now exempt collecting rain water."

"These guys are fantastic! It's a family business, consisting of Eddie (the father) and two sons, plus one other employee. They are all honest, reliable and hard-working men. They were kind and thoughtful, and absolutely professional in the 1.5 weeks we dealt with them. At our request, they were particularly mindful of our cat, so that we could prevent his and quot;escapeand quot; during all of the entering and exiting required, while not confining him to a single room unless absolutely necessary. <br /> We called Eddie Ross Construction because we had made three previous attempts to address our damp basement problem, and instead of fixing it, the solutions other people offered culminated in making the issue much worse. <br /> 1. Water was flowing near our front door, leaving a wet ground spot that iced over in winter. So, water was re-routed to other side of house, which caused flooding in neighbor's drive (and made sump pump work too hard to push out water, so... <br /> 2. Second person called in to route water to street. They attached a pipe underground to do so, but strangely enough, no water ever came out other end. We found out this was because they used a perforated pipe (placed at the wrong angle), which cause ground to be perpetually wet a few inches below grass. Furthermore, the water was flowing back toward the house, so... <br /> 3. Third person came and suggested a dehumidifier to counteract the increasing damp we were experiencing. <br /> We were unaware what the ramifications of the above three procedures were, but we knew the problem was getting worse, not better, so we FINALLY found some true professionals. Enter Eddie Ross Construction. <br /> They did all of the work we listed in the and quot;Services Performedand quot; section of this review, all the while explaining why and how things had gone wrong before. In fact, it was because of these previous and quot;fixesand quot; that we needed so much rock fill, because the ground was so saturated, that whenever they would dig, the mud would collapse and they had to make the trench deeper! It was messy, hard work, but these guys were up to it. They even managed to save a favorite Rose of Sharon bush that was right in the midst of all this construction. Our front yard is small, and the location tight (on a busy highway), but they managed to get their heavy equipment in and out and maneuver it all like a well-choreographed dance. It was amazing to watch. <br /> These guys met challenges head-on and solved them quickly. One challenge was that they had to work with another group when it was discovered that our water meter needed to be moved and an underground pipe replaced. The two groups worked out logistics efficiently and helped each other to get it done. <br /> The next challenge was when the hot exhaust from the machinery melted a bit of our siding. This was a hazard that simply could not have been avoided, although it was unexpected, as the work site was extremely tight. The guys let us know right away about that problem, and immediately offered a solution to how they would fix it, which, of course, they did. You'd never know now that it had happened. <br /> Value-added service: <br /> - Added sturdy, stylish handrail per our request (which they procured) <br /> - Suggested a new mailbox to fit our sleek, new front-of-house look, which they procured for us and expertly attached to the house <br /> - When replacing long front sidewalk, suggested we align it with front door, instead of slightly off-center as the old one had been <br /> <br /> To sum up, these guys treated the job, and our home, as if it was their own. They took extra care to make sure everything was as perfect as it could be. We cannot praise them enough for their professionalism, and we finally have real solutions to the problems we had been dealing with. The basement is perfectly dry, the sump pump does not struggle to push water out, and the front of the house looks great! <br />"

"Patrick had some trouble getting here because he was at another job when he called to find out what was wrong and was needed. He had to call two times knowing that he would be later than he said. When he arrived he spent 2 hours including checking other areas to make sure he was able to complete unplugging my bathroom sink. Think he even got basement sink running right. He did a good job. <br />"

"The guy that they sent off to do the work was not very knowledgeable. I had the work done before so I knew what was supposed to be done. I actually told him how to do the baseline. It ended up coming out alright. I have another company do it a little cheaper but they don't do our area anymore. They're on time in everything. I would probably not use them in the future."

"I am a very detailed person. I ask a lot of questions. We had a few hiccups along the way because the sales person and the installer are different people, so information was not written out to specifications when the work was to be done. However, a quick call cleaned up the hiccups and everything moved forward smoothly. I waited until we had severe rain to write this to make sure the pump worked. It does! No more flooding in the basement."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Du-bois, 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.
