Warranties offered

Our company was built focusing on taking care of water drainage issues only. Concentrating on this and customer satisfaction has helped make us the largest and most trusted gutter company in Tampa Bay. We bring our gutter machine to your home and make special sizes on-site. Our gutters are installed using heavy duty hangers instead of spikes and ferrules . We hand cut each miter so there is only one seam instead of multiple seams that are associated with strip or box miters. All of our miters and downspouts are fastened together using aluminum rivets instead of screws because screws tend to catch debris and also eventually rust. We have a 2 year warranty on labor and a 20 year manufacturer’s warranty on material.

"Olin Plumbing just finished replacing all of my old galvanized steel water pipes in my 1947 home. I could not be happier with the job they did! I would like to especially thank David for caring for my home like it was his own and doing such a great job on everything. I had numerous special requests, and I feel like he really went above and beyond. I have used Olin Plumbing several times over the years, and have always been happy with their price and service. So much so that I didn’t even get additional quotes for this job. Honestly, I hate writing reviews, but I am more than happy to write this review for such a great company!"

"**BUYER-BEWARE** we bought a home in 2016, Over the last month we discovered an increase in our water bill. After investigation, we discovered a silver canister near our pool equipment. The canister had Florida Water Treatment Dunedin FL on the device. We called to tell FWT Dunedin, it was leaking. The tech mentioned to turn two knobs on top of device to stop leak. We asked for removal of device on same call. A couple weeks later a person shows at our home and asks for $300 to remove device. We called Christine at FWT,. Christine was rude and hasty. We asked to speak to her manager Hilary. She stated Hilary was not available. She asked to put us on hold. Next, a person named Matt Zara, who identifed himself as the owner, takes the call. Matt Zara began to question our integrity immediately, by telling us the fee was discussed when we made the appointment. It was not. Matt Zarra stated his company has been in business for 74 years and we were, “Barking Up The Wrong Tree”. Matt called us hypocrites. He said his company does not want our business. He also mentioned we could not afford to pay the $300 and questioned us on asking about the fee. At no point were we not calm, we only wanted a solution on the surprise fee his company sprung on us.This $300 fee was surprising and misleading to us. Finally, the Tech spit on driveway while leaving home. **Our advice, find another company for this service."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Hudson, 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.
