"In addition to the gutter guards which were installed and the downspouts buried, Thrasher also changed out a misfitting basement window well and cover, and installed a Sadona dehumidifying system. Jonah and his crew of Corrin and Luis were excellent at the work they did. I was called before they arrived, to ensure I was ready for them to start work, and Jonah went over the work with me prior to starting, to confirm what was to be done. Completely professional. After it was completed, we inspected it together and everything was perfect. I will worry less next time it rains! I will definitely recommend Thrasher if anyone I know needs work done."

"Overall it went very well...On the down side, Burnham is a small outfit and was not able to do the project for several months after I called them. However, they gave a fairly accurate expected start date. They did a nice job of restoring the foundation to level. They were helpful in telling me which parts of my foundation did and did not need to be repaired, and suggested a cheaper alternative (soaking the soil) for part of the house which seemed like it would also need to be repaired. I found them to be trustworthy for this reason. I'm not sure how good the price was, but it seemed fair based on the cost of the components, man-hours spent on the project, and equipment costs. I'd use Burnham Basement in the future. <br />"

"Jerry Duff came out and inspected my basement. He was on-time and extremely professional. We have multiple cracks and some efflorescence on the basement walls. He provided several options but in the end let me know that there were other, more affordable ways to take care of the problem myself. I was impressed by this professionalism. He did not pressure us into any unnecessary fix and in the end probably save me a lot of money. I would recommend this company to anyone."

"Painting went okay. The inside paint job they did not replace the outlets, and there was paint drops on the floor that were never cleaned up. The sheet rock they hung inside the closet was good. However, the installer in the basement room did a shoddy job of the cutting around the outlets. They did not put the faceplates back on, probably because they knew their cuts were horrible. Two of the outlets would not cover up even with the largest face plate available. I asked multiple times for an itemized bill and did not get it. The painter did not paint the entire ceilings, only spot painted over the stains yet we were charged for the whole thing. I made the mistake of paying for everything and they never came back and hung the closet or basement room doors. The sheet rock installer quit so it was weeks before my project was started. They were flexible enough to add in the cleaning and staining of the deck, but I was over charged for the closet sheetrock. Whatever was put down in the basement peeled up in three spots within two weeks of being put down."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Goodland, KS

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.
