"Hired him to scoop a hole out for my pool. Very satisfied with the timeliness of the project being completed in preparation for my pool guys to come fill the hole. My dog is absolutely obsessed and so am I. Would hire again for any other demo or excavation projects I might have! 5 star"

"Cathy at Fortress is amazing. Their customer service is unmatched. We had 6 companies come out and look at our house. Several had different reports of how many piers we needed. We hired an engineer and found out we needed 28 new piers and 14 existing piers that needed to be adjusted. Cathy came and explained what was needed, what was happening with our foundation and how they would go about repairing it and answered all of our questions. She was friendly, thorough, and honest. I reached out many times before the work was scheduled and asked many more follow up questions and she would respond promptly. What sets them apart from all the other foundation companies in the area: Excellent customer service and communication Lifetime warranty that stays with the house and not the owner which would involve transfer fees While they didn't adjust our existing piers done by another company (it was determined that it was not possible/not necessarily needed at this time), if they had, they would have taken over and included those in the lifetime warranty - this was a huge perk which no one else does that we were able to find. We wanted to make sure we don't have future foundation problems, so they not only put in 28 steel piers, they tied in all of our 8 downspouts underground to make sure we never have drainage issues. As the work was coming to an end, the new piers lifted our garage about 6+ inches above the sinking, cracked driveway. So we hired them to give us a new concrete driveway and it is beautiful! They were able to squeeze that in right at the end of the other work. Cathy, Victor and the crew were all fantastic. Always on time, always cleaning up after the day's work. Cathy and Victor would explain where we were at and what to expect next each day. I can't say enough good things about this company and their team. Hire Fortress Foundation, you will be glad you did!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Greenville, 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.
