"He was very polite to me and my children. He installed 2 shower heads for me and he unclogged one of my bath tubs for me. He was very professional as well. I will definitely call him in the future if I have any more issues. I highly recommend him if you have any plumbing needs. Plus he don't charge an arm and a leg like most companies do."

"We previously used AFS to encapsulate our utility garage/basement area and recently used them again to install 6 floor supports. Ovy Thompson, Clayton Cox, and Spirit Ettesvold were the team that came for this job. They were on time, explained everything and did an amazing job. We will definitely use AFS again if the need arises."

"I chose Ralph based upon his excellent reviews and the fact that he is a Mechanical Engineerr. I contacted him at 8 am and to my surprise he said he could arrive around 3pm but that he would call me when he was on his way. He called around 2:15 and said he would be able to ariive a little before 3 if that was good for me. Ralph was professional in appearance and demeanor. He has a fully equipped truck which prevents him from having to go shopping in the middle of a job which I had experienced with another contractor. Ralph quickly diagnosed the source of the leak and fixed it. He explained the issue to me and gave me several pointers for improving efficiency of the toilet. In addition, he was very thorough in answering my questions regarding septic tank maintenance. I would not hesitate to contact Above All Plumbing for future plumbing work and highly recommend Ralph. <br />"

"I got three estimates and ‘58 Foundation was by far the best. They explained all my options and worked within my budget. I needed foundation repair in specific areas under a load bearing wall and around my front door. They showed up on time. The foreman, Cam, kept me informed on the process. He along with the crewmen, Jordan and Keylin were courteous and professional and left the work area even cleaner than they found it. My house is over 100 yrs old and when I walk around now, the floors feel very solid."

"I needed a few areas cleaned and some traffic areas in other rooms cleaned as well as a stairway.  Carpet had been cleaned a couple of years ago and was still very clean except in these few areas.  Advanced had an Angie's List special and a schedule opening immediately as I needed it.  I negotiated to get the few traffic areas cleaned without cleaning the whole rooms and causing me to have an excessively large bill.  When technician arrived I discussed the areas with him to ensure the negotiation was reasonable.  He agreed and began work.  Very nice young man, friendly, and careful to put guards around corners so hose wouldn't damage my freshly painted walls, doors, and trim.  He immediately had problems with the brand new truck-mounted machine not generating the steam/hot water properly.  He called the owner who came right over and found a blown fuse.  A quick trip to the hardware store a mile away and they had everything working properly.  Did a great job except for one area where there were some small ground-in stains.  He had pre-treated these areas but the stains didn't come out and were visible the next day as the carpet dried.  I had some aerosol carpet cleaner that I sprayed and rubbed that got most of the stain out; followed up with dish detergent and scrubbing that got them out the rest of the way..  Gave a B mark for quality just because they didn't make a follow-up call to find out how things turned out.  Stuff happens, I would not mark down their score for their new equipment issues.  It didn't cause me any problem for additional time that day.  They called for support who immediately drove to my house and debugged and repaired the broken equipment.  Extra credit for going the extra mile to get my job done without needing to reschedule (which wold have been a problem). <br />"

"The guy was super nice and to me he was really honest. He informed me that I may need to have my septic tank cleaned out instead of him just pumping out my sewer lines. He also told me how to get my refund for what I paid Angie's List for this package. He gave me good advice that saved me money. I was very impressed by his honesty and appreciate how he said he would honor the price that I have if I still need him to pump out my sewer lines after I get my septic tank pumped out. I would use him in the future if I needed."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Etowah, TN

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.
