"Tar Heel Basement Systems installed the drainage system in my basement. I have had many contractors in my house over the past 10 years for major renovations to smaller jobs. Tar Heel Basement Systems (Robert and Steve) hav by far exceeded every contractor in quality of work, professionalism, and work ethic. Robert and Steve took their time to do everything perfectly. Also I have never had a contractor as meticulous as these two in making sure dust and debris was kept to a minimum. This type of job is extremely dirty and dusty and they were cleaner than any other work I have had done. I am elated that this is the first contractor I have not had to argue with over sloppy work. They do everything right the first time and are not rushing to get the job done. I wish I could hire these two for every project I have in my house."

"Eric and his crew tackled a long-standing drainage problem in the basement of our 1932 Craftsman bungalow. We'd had several estimates and options but They impressed us from the start with their solution to the problem and their professionalism. They were great communicators and kept us apprised of what they were doing every step of the way. Can't recommend them enough."

"Our project required the installation of channel drains and french drains to clear water which had been pooling at the end of the driveway due to old, inadequate and damaged drains. Josh and his crew were professional, prompt and obviously experienced. The crew worked hard in difficult circumstances (heat and tree roots!) to complete the project when promised."

"High integrity company and excellent customer service. We had humidity issues with our crawlspace and were impressed with the treatment plan provided by Lance among others we looked at. We were impressed with the installation and solution. Kevin (the owner) came out to inspect the work of his installers and even repaired a vent that was not their responsibility - impressive customer service and work. We would highly recommend them."

"I hired Evans Landwork to repair the drainage issues on my gravel driveway, and the results were outstanding. He quickly identified the underlying problems, explained the plan clearly, and got to work with real precision. The grading, reshaping, and drainage improvements were done with obvious skill — water now flows exactly where it should, and the driveway looks better than it has in years. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and pride in his work truly set him apart. If you need reliable, high‑quality driveway or drainage repair, I highly recommend Evans Landwork."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Kernersville, NC

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.
