"Austin put in a trench garage drain in my 3 stall garage and was great to work with - courteous, responsive, and prompt to get work done. And did so at a very reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone looking for something similar."

"Nate (salesman) took all of the time required to answer our questions and develop a plan to deal with the high water table issues. The installation crew communicated with us throughout the installation of the interior drainage system and sump pumps and Dave (Service Tech) went above and beyond to finish the triple safe sump system installation and tweak other elements of the initial installation. All worked to leave the basement as clean as this process could allow."

"I had used them before and we thought we had the problem fixed. The water stopped coming in where they thought it was coming in. Water is hard to determine where it is coming from sometimes and we ended up doing about more than a third with this drainage where this water was coming from. The rest of the wall was under part of the house where we thought it was protected. We thought the wet area was coming in a crack in the floor and coming down that way, but it turns out that a storage area that I had was also having some leakage and that was coming over from the side, so I called him. I knew that there might be another problem since it is a big basement and we didn’t do the entire thing. We knew that and going into it, we thought we had it fixed and it didn’t work. We got a real heavy downpour and we found another way where the water was getting in and he fixed that. He put a drainer there and that took care of the problem and it hasn’t caused any other problem so far."

"MIKE did an excellent job explaining our situation and the plan to fix our problem. He was honest and to the point as the job was not going to be an easy job and very expensive. Mike and Jake came when expected and I was happy with the finished job. The price of the job was also less then expected. Thanks Mike and Jake for your excellent service."

"They are honest about things that needed to be done, that he could or could not do. He has a lot going on and so he has to work on bigger project first but that is common. Sometimes if he do not have a big job you cannot really expect to get quick service, that kind of goes for a lot of people. I would use his services again in the future, as eventually it’s the right thing."

"I've had several experiences with this company and have always been very happy with the work they have done.  They are upfront and honest and do quality work.  The issue with the bathtub drain was actually a result of an old jetted tub and rather than charging us to "fix" anything they gave us a DIY remedy that worked just great. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Horace, ND

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.
