"We were in the middle of moving, we were selling the house that we were in and closing on a new home and there was some moisture found in the basement. This owner was great! We had called other different companies and because of our limited time frame (closing on a house), he was the only one that could come out right away. He treated the walls and waterproofed the lower level wall in the house. By far he was the most affordable company we quoted and he was a very hard work. Honest guy. He gave us a sense that he would not pull one over on you like most companies."

"It's a small house but they did a lot of work.  They had to take these big beams and the big long boards next to the ones that were already there that were termite infested.  My kitchen had sunk to the point that if there was any liquid on it, it would pour under the kitchen table.  It was no small job I guess.  They didn't crack the ceiling and I was so afraid that the house was so old.  I had the kitchen repainted and redone and was really afraid that I was going to see some cracked walls but all I saw was some doors.  I do have an issue that I need to call them back on because some doors are sticking now that the floors are even.  Other than that I was pretty pleased with them.  I don't know enough about what they did or how well they did but it appears that they did well.  If they respond to my problem that I'm having right now then I will use them in the future."

"The crew handled our issue with respect and helped move our belongings and saved as much of our home from the mold as possible. Our pipes burst in our home while we were on vacation and they were life savers. Absolutely would hire again."

"We recently purchased a new home and needed some plumbing work done before we could move in. Howell Plumbing was knowledgeable and skilled in completing all our plumbing needs. It was very significant that Howell Plumbing was the only plumbing company that responded out of about a dozen calls I placed to plumbing contractors in the area. First, Howell did a great job with the gas hot water heater. It had been installed improperly which, in turn, was preventing placing a washer and dryer in the utility room. They were able to reposition the water heater so that the washer and dryer could be placed in alignment with the washer's power outlet and the dryer's vent. The job required moving not only the hot water heater tank, but also all of the copper tubing and fittings, and making sure everything was aligned properly with the vent through the exterior wall. Second, they repaired a major leak with an upstairs jetted bathtub. They initially tired to conserve cost (which we appreciated) by first attempting to repair the pump. However, when it became evident that a new pump was the only thing that would correct the leak, they had the new pump delivered overnight and installed it promptly the following day. This saved us a lot of "down time" with a bedroom and bathroom which were unable to be used until the tub was fixed. Both jobs went smoothly, efficiently, and professionally. They brought three workers, each of whom had a radio which they used to communicate to each other, i.e. the worker upstairs could call to someone stationed near the toolbox in the truck to bring the necessary tools and parts upstairs without wasting time by one worker having to go downstairs, get the parts and tools himself, and then go back upstairs to resume the job. They also used their radios to communicate to a worker stationed at the street to turn the city water off and back on when needed. It was all highly efficient. I also liked the fact that Howell Plumbing was initially willing to look at a number of other plumbing concerns we had throughout the home, and then help us determine estimates for all the issues and prioritize the ones that needed to be done first. Our experience with Howell Plumbing's professionals and their work was first rate. I will definitely call them again for any further plumbing needs. We also appreciated the military discount."

"They did a great job. They solved all the problems I had with the chimney and it’s been working perfectly ever since. They also fixed a problem on the roof around the chimney; they replaced the wood around the chimney with a material that would never rot, so they fixed it even better than it was before. It took them a couple of days to do the work. They took care of all the cleanup as well. We've been real happy with them."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Heflin, AL

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.
