"We did a lot of research prior to hiring Thrasher and we were not disappointed. Frankly I had been in denial (and fear) about the work I knew we needed done on our Midtown Omaha home because I was so concerned about the cost and impact on our brick Tudor. We had a crack in the brick near our garage and our basement had been leaking for a number of years with hard rains. From the start of the process, Thrasher was outstanding in terms of communication and education about what they do. Before we met with our Systems Design Specialist, Anthony, we had received e-mails and calls to confirm the date, along with a packet of educational materials about home foundations and waterproofing. When Anthony came to our home, he was very professional and performed a full inspection about our concerns. He prepared an estimate and we selected what was best for us following a thorough review of options he presented. The foundation work was completed first in ONE day. The basement waterproofing was completed the next week over a two-day time frame. The workers were very professional and arrived at the time they arranged with us. In regard to the basement waterproofing, we discovered one small issue. They came out immediately to correct this and all has been worked wonderfully since. We are very pleased with their work and commitment to customer service. Highly recommend Thrasher to anyone considering foundation or waterproofing work."

"Groundworksâ listened to our input and throughly evaluated the requirements to support the basement walls and prevent water from coming in. They were on time and communicated clearly and timely. The Foreman did an evaluation and recommended a couple changes to the plan that I agreed with and weâ re beneficial. The 3 workers knew what they were doing and worked hard. I appreciate the manner they communicated and they were very friendly. Overall, they did a great job!"

"In addition to the gutter guards which were installed and the downspouts buried, Thrasher also changed out a misfitting basement window well and cover, and installed a Sadona dehumidifying system. Jonah and his crew of Corrin and Luis were excellent at the work they did. I was called before they arrived, to ensure I was ready for them to start work, and Jonah went over the work with me prior to starting, to confirm what was to be done. Completely professional. After it was completed, we inspected it together and everything was perfect. I will worry less next time it rains! I will definitely recommend Thrasher if anyone I know needs work done."

"In the main bathroom the on and off valve was stuck. You could only turn it on about 10 percent. I called a couple of places he was the only one that called back.He came out, the job only took about 10 minutes to do. He just had to pull off the knob, there was a piece back there that came off, a little plastic piece, when it came off it got lodged and you could't turn the water on. He just removed that, it was that necessary to have. It was very simple, I also had him take a look at my garbage disposal. He charged for an hour. I think he worked on the disposal a little longer than he needed to, but i think he wanted to fill that whole hour up so i would get charged for a full hour. It was $100 bucks an hour. I was ok with that. I wasn't too up set or anything. I told my wife what to do, I don't think she listened correctly. she went underneath and you can take a little wrench and and loosen it up but there is also that reset button. I don't think she remember to hit the reset button. I think if she would have done that it would have kicked back on. He said some of the teeth inside were kind of sticking.He said he was working on that, trying to free up some of the teeth to help grind some of the food down the drain. Im sure in the next couple of years ill need to replace.For price i don't know, I don't know the difference. I would say an A. I haven't had a plumber out in a long, long,long time. For quality I would grade him an A. He didn't have to make a mess or anything.It was pretty simple and straight forward. For responsiveness i would say A. I called one day and he called back the next Like i said i called about 3 or 4 people.He was the only one that called me back. When i first talked to him he said he will be out in the next day or two .He said it would be somewhere when i got 20 min or half hour between jobs I will come out and do it, but he did call before he came out. That was fine, there was no set time of a set day."

"A sales person from Jerry's Basement came over to look at the water issues in our unfinished basement. What we discovered through his very honest and knowledgeable assessment was that the water we were experiencing on our floor was a result of a clogged floor drain. When our water softener runs (programmed to run at night), it would spill over on to the concrete floor since the floor drain is clogged. He showed us by having the water softener run while we were there. The floor drain immediately filled up with water. We were so grateful for his honesty because we had two other companies come out before Jerry's Basement, giving us very high bids for sump pumps and labor ranging between $9,000 and $17,000! This is why we do more than one bid and highly recommend Jerry's Basement should you have any water issues in your basement. You will be guaranteed an honest opinion."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Elkhorn, NE

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.
