"Foundation Support Specialists were well represented by the crew, led by foreman Cornell, that installed 11 foundation piers at our home in September 2024. The team of 4, including co-foreman Lee and installers Zero and Angel, carried out well-coordinated duties that culminated in job completion on a Sunday. After reviewing with me (homeowner) the work performed, it was very apparent that they had exercised great care in leaving landscaping within and adjacent to the needed excavations as close to how they found it."

"I HAVE USED THEM IN THE PAST TO INSTALL 17 PIERS ON MY HOME.  WORK WAS PERFORMED TO MY SATISFACTION THEN AND PIERS HAD HELP UP UNTIL THE DROUGHT OF 2011.  CALLED THEM BACK OUT TO PERFORM WARRANTY WORK ON FRONT OF HOUSE SINCE THE HOUSE HAD DROPPED ABOUT 1.5" ON THE SE CORNER.   WE DECIDED TO HAVE THEM PERFORM SOME ADDITIONAL WORK ON THE GARAGE AND BACK OF THE HOUSE SINCE THEY WERE GOING TO BE ONSITE. 

WORK PROGRESSED WELL, HOWEVER CREW FOREMAN APPARENTLY WAS NOT INFORMED THAT THE CONCRETE PIERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INSTALLED 9' DEEP FROM GRADE.  AS THEY WERE AUGERING IN THE HOLES THE FOREMAN NOTIFIED ME THAT SOME OF THE HOLES WERE AS DEEP AS THEY COULD GET, ( I.E. 4 FEET DEEP) AND THIS IS ALL HE COULD GET WITH HIS AUGERING MACHINE.  I INFORMED THE FOREMAN THAT I PAID FOR NINE FEET AND EXPECTED NINE FEET SO THEY NEEDED TO GET BIGGER EQUIPMENT OUT TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.   PHONE CALLS WERE MADE AND ANOTHER SUPERVISOR SHOWED UP ONSITE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET ALL THE PIERS TO NINE FEET OR GREATHER THE FOLLOWING DAY.  THEY DID A GOOD JOB, HOWEVER IT WAS MY IMPRESSION THAT IF I HAD NOT BEEN ONSITE TO INSPECT THE WORK, I WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED NINE FOOT PIERS ON THE 11 ADDITIONAL PIERS I HAD INSTALLED.  GARAGE AND HOUSE WAS JACKED AND LEVELED TO MY SATISFACTION. 

FRONT OF THE HOUSE WAS LEVELED WHEN I WAS NOT PRESENT AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A SATSIFACTORY EXPLANATION OF WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE PREVIOUS PIERS.  REGARDING THE WORK THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I STILL FEEL THE CONCRETE PIERS ARE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR LEVELING A HOUSE.  I AM CRITICAL OF THEM FROM THE STANDPOINT THAT I HAD TO STAY ON TOP OF THE CREW TO ENSURE THAT I GOT WHAT I PAID FOR IN THE CONTRACT."

"The Basement Kings finished their LARGE job this morning, and I can’t praise them enough! They had a long, difficult job, but no complaints. When they discovered a problem, they fixed it. No problem, that’s their job. They found the water problem had a lot to do with drainage, so they worked outside in cold & rain & developed a system to carry water away from the house. That, to me, was over & above, but they said their main objective was to get & keep the basement dry, so they did what they had to do with no complaints. Now you can’t ask for better than that - they give their all! I am totally amazed!!"

"When we originally contacted Cliff Morgan, I had to leave a voice mail.  He called me back within a couple of hours, and agreed to come take a look at the leak in addition to providing a free estimate.  He arrived on time and was very professional.  After listening to various water sources (sinks, shower, outdoor spigot, etc), he believed the leak was between the sink and the shower in one of the bathrooms.  He gave me a couple of leak scenarios and the associated repairs that would be done along with a best case estimate and a worst case estimate (noting that the cost could exceed the worst case if there was something that could not be foreseen with the repair).  He was available to do the work the next day, so we agreed. 
He called the next morning to let me know he was on his way and arrived on time.  He spent time methodically testing the water lines to pin point the offending pipe.  As he originally thought, the leak was on the cold side between the sink and shower in one of the bathrooms.  The repair was effective and efficient and he explained everything that he was doing.  The pieces cut out of the walls were small and neatly done.
Best of all, the total bill was actually *less* than the best case scenario quote, which was great news.
While we hope we never see him again (we don't need any more slab leaks!), we would not hesitate to contact him again.  Additionally, we'd highly recommend him.to anyone that needs his services.  If all contractors were like Cliff, home repair/update projects would be *far* less frustrating!

"I called Young's plumbing because when I woke up that morning I had a huge puddle of water in my living room. The gentleman that answered the phone said that he could a plumber out the same day. When Jimmy showed up he explained that I had a slab leak and gave me a quote for tunneling and to repair the leak.Jimmy helped me call my insurance company to have them pay for it. I set up for the work to be done the next day. Jimmy and some diggers come out the next morning and got right to work. He was very professional and answered any questions I had. He cleaned up his mess and made sure my yard was the way they found it. I was grateful that they use booties when in my house so they did not take mud and stuff throughout my house. Thank you very much Young's Plumbing, I will be using them anytime I have plumbing problems.

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Ennis, 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.
