"Hands down the best plumbing business around. They pretty much always send me Sebastian. Not only is he knowledgeable about plumbing but he's down to earth and never tries to sell me something I don't need. He quickly and efficiently fixes what's wrong and backs up all their work. Their prices are reasonable as well. You want a good plumber who won't rake you over the coals, then call these guys. They'll get the job done!"

"They were great! Apparently, the last person who worked on my water heater never installed a shut off valve. Thankfully Mayor Plumbing was able to take a look and make my home safe and up to city code! I’m definitely gonna be using them for my annual water heater cleaning and any other problems that pop-up with my Plumbing."

"I used to get water in my basement every time it rained. I had a sump pump installed and I still got water through the cracks. Seal pro Max was the perfect solution for me for fraction of the cost of other solutions. With all the snow and rain we’ve had this year I didn’t get a drop of water in my basement. The guys were very knowledgeable and professional and were able to finish the job in one day. I wish I knew about this years ago."

"Our kitchen drain had been draining extremely slow. We had tried several home remedies with no success. Equal Rooter was very responsive. Kevin ,the owner, returned our call quickly and appointment was set for the next day. The morning of our appointment Andrew (Technician) called to ask if it was convenient for him to come out earlier, which was fine. Andrew determined the problem to be down in the branch line from the Kitchen, and resolved the issue with the use of a snake and camera. Within 2 hours we were up and draining again. Andrew was very professional and courteous. We will use Equal Rooter again and will recommend them to our friends and neighbors. A great team!"

"Excellently. I supplied the Franke parts for the kitchen sink. All other materials and labor were provided by FPS. This visit took care of the whole "honey-do" plumbing list for this house (purchased in 9/2017). It's good to finally get it done!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.
