"Couldn't be happier with the results, but the best part of the experience is all the amazing, hard-working, highly dedicated and profesisonal people who work for this company. We have an older home (1984 build) with a very large open, back patio. Water erosion and tree roots had wrecked havoc on the concrete causing joint erosion, extensibe wide cracks, shifting and lift. I didn't want to jack it all up and go to the expense of re-pouring and hoped this would be a smart solution. Joe, Kaly and Mark worked an absolute miracle and the results are exactly what I was hoping for. Their approach was thorough and meticulous and I knew from the get-go I was in good hands. I highly recommend you turn to them for all your concrete repair solutions and I won't hesitate to refer my clients to them in the future. You won't regret it!"

"Each one of the crews did a great job. The guys that did the piers and then the crew that did the poly foam for the porch. Well done by all."

"On April 14, 2025, I entered into contract with Oklahoma Custom Drainage and Construction for a driveway project in front of my property. for $ 10,972. Despite the company assurance that all the work was done in house with the proper permits, the City of Lawton Building Division has issued me a citation for construction without a permit. The work performed doesn't meet the minimum city requirements for thickness, rebar installation and it is too narrow to accommodate the width of my truck. When I contacted their office with concerns regarding the citation from the city for the lack of permit and to express my concerns for the aforementioned deficiencies the company director of operations got very defensive stating that the job was closed, inspected, completed in accordance with all legal code standards. Furthermore, she stated, to direct all my concerns to their subcontractor. When I indicated that I hire them not the subcontractor, she refused to further communicate with me. "

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Fort Sill, OK

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.
