"On the initial visit, the drainage system was installed in our basement within a day. After a week there was water intrusion. I have to say after contacting them, the response was very quick and professional. They came out and corrected the drain backup outside and for the last several months, the system has held up nicely and the basement no longer floods after passing storms. This company goes above and beyond the call of duty!!"

"The job went very well. Todd responded quickly and scheduled the job. Technicians Andrew and Eric did a great job replacing the pipes, fastening them, replacing the valves, etc. They were very dedicated and worked through day and night in the cramped crawl space. They are also very personable and nice to work with. Very happy with the job and the staff."

"With all the rain that had taken place we had a problem with a sump pump that had been installed previously. The workers came out and checked to see if it was working properly. Everything is good. Thank you for living up to your name and the services you provide. Willie and Mary"

"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!!!"

"EverDry waterproofed our garage/basement area, installing drainage channels and an EZ Breathe system. Everyone we spoke to was helpful, easy to work with and prompt for house calls. We also appreciated the COVID precautions taken at the time (early 2021). The work was completed quickly, as expected, with minimal interruption, and prompt follow up for any outstanding items to be addressed. Thanks EverDry! Alice S."

"They came up with a solution to fix our water problem in our basement. Explained what cause the problem. Setup the appointment. They followed up with a call several days ahead of time to let us know what time we should expect the crew. Everyone was very polite and professional. Cleaned everything up. Did a great job and made sure we were satisfied before leaving. A great perk is the warranty of their work."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Ellenwood, 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.
