All Seasons Roofing
5.0(

Serving Jacksonville, FL and surrounding areas

"We called All Seasons when we realized the poor workmanship and inexperience of the original roofer created issues that would eventually require an early roof replacement if ignored.  Taking advantage of a coupon for a roof inspection revealed a rotted board close to the roof peak. We learned a hard lesson, but through Angie's List we found All Seasons Roofing who has a well deserved A rating. They discussed thoroughly what needed to be done and stayed in contact until the job was completed.  They were able to save most of the original shingles, needing to replace only a few, and assured us the boards surrounding the rotted board were not damaged.  We now have a ridge vent that should have been installed by the original roofer (now out of business), and we can sleep at night knowing a trusted company fixed our problems!  They've recommended another company they trust to clean the rest of the roof to keep any mold at bay. <br /> If you need a new roof or any roof repairs, I highly recommend you get in touch with these guys.  They are not the cheapest, but they are the best and if we'd had them install our roof to start, we would have saved ourselves $3260. <br />"

"This was a good experience. The provider called me the Monday after I purchased the deal and made an appointment for the following Wednesday Morning. He showed up on time, installed the garbage disposal and everything was complete within an hour."

"They called the service person they recommended for me and refused to charge me anything for their visit. I was VERY impressed and pleased, and would ABSOLUTELY call them again! The only mix-up was caused on the part of Angie's list. Champion was listed as a 24-7 service, but they said they had called Angie's list to change that. They did arrive promptly early Monday morning."

"Had 8 zones installed front to back yard. Ran all new pipes, sprinklers, and installed a spigot. Yard was fairly soggy from the rain prior to the install. Only thing noticeable after they installed was where they trenched for the pipes and flags marking the sprinklers. I would’ve had them move the sprinklers a bit farther away from the road no big deal though."

"They did an outstanding job. From the day I got the quote to the day they got the job finished, it was only two weeks. The lady in the office communicated with me every two days as to what was going on. They were prompt, they cleaned up, and even planted grass seed when they were done. I would highly recommend them and I would definitely hire them again."

"We needed a new septic field.  J.L. Smith was highly reviewed on Angie's List.  They took care of the necessary permits and did a good job.  Would use them again and recommend them to others.  Dug a new field, put in a dosing tank and installed the necessary electric wiring. They answered all questions, and explained the process well. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Jacksonville, 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.
