"I waited a few months before posting my review to test the finished product. All I can say is incredible from start to finish to performance! Jordan and Jim are two of the most honest people I have ever met. The estimate process went so smoothly. No pressure, no overselling and scare tactics I had with other large companies. Jordan listened and offered real solutions. In fact they turned out to be over $15K less than the next bidder. Jim who also owns the company and his crew showed up on time. Worked their butts off and explained exactly what and why they were doing certain things.Just another level of transparency. They put in french drains, concrete walls to support the compromised brick ones in the basement. Then two new sump pumps one is a no power required backup, a pump to remove the washing machine water into the sewer line instead of the sump pump. The also wrapped the basement, crawlspace, installed a new crawlspace door. All in two days! The house is so much nicer and dryer. My AC does not run as often, the basement is dry. We used to get water after every rain storm. We have had several heavy downpours and not one single drop of water! I highly recommend them. Fair and honest people!"

"Tyler was punctual, professional, and worked hard to get our many outlets installed. He left the workspace cleaner than he found it and was diligent in making sure the job was done exactly how we wanted it. We’ll definitely be using TE again when we’re ready to finish the rest of the basement and will recommend them to others. Thank you, Tyler!"

"Andrew was a few minutes early and aside from show up for an appointment as promised, was friendly, helpful, and did exceptional work on two jobs. He was able to replace an old bathroom fixture which required breaking loose an old installation, and fixed another leak. He also took the time to explain what he was doing and offered a suggestion which will save me some money in the future. I have used them before and highly recommend these guys, for exceptional, work at great value."

"CGS Waterproofing installed a sump pump in the basement of my sgl. family home. They did an excellent job. They were on time, quickly cleared the areas and immediately went to work. They put my things in neat piles and covered the most important things in hard plastic. They worked efficiently and completed the job in 1 1/2 days. At completion, the areas had a clean, finished, professional look. Well done. Highly recommended."

"Jose from Georgia Waterproofing came to my home to bid my waterproofing job. He was not the lowest bidder, but he came up with a detailed plan for waterproofing the basement and encapsulating the crawl space in the basement of my home. His plan included the downspouts on the home, a sump pump, 2 catchment basins and a water egress path to the street. They looked at the job on Thursday, and scheduled the work to begin on Saturday. The crew showed up at 9AM, and worked until 7 PM, and when they left, they assured me that the basement would not flood from a heavy rain. They returned on Monday, worked another four hours and completed the project. I have to wait for another rainstorm the verify the work, but I am confident the work will hold up. I was also given a lifetime warranty on the work performed. The crew is professional, did what they said they'd do and cleaned up after the work was completed, I'd recommend them to anyone!!!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Dunwoody, GA

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.
