"Salesperson was overconfident and slightly pushy. They had to push back our project over 2 weeks after it was scheduled. They cut down many shrubs and left the mess for us to clean up and dispose of. We were told they would cover all of our belongings prior to starting. They only covered about 1/3 of the items in the basement and everything that wasn't covered was left a mess. The installers did not complete the entire project in the way we were told it would be done. Still waiting for Spring to make sure the basement doesn't leak, may revise my review after ensuring it is truly water proofed."

"Marco, Mario, Tyler and Matt at FSM were great at installing my basement waterproof system. They made sure everything they did meet and exceeded what I was looking for. They answered all my questions and made sure everything they did was of the highest quality. They cleaned up after themselves and made sure I was satisfied. They are first class at what they do and how accommodating they were to me and my family. I highly recommend them."

"The work was done almost 2 years ago and is holding up without any issues. It was done in the timeframe promised, done professionally and the finishing was excellent. I had flooring installed and developed an issue due to the installation. Both the owner and site leader recently came out and inspected the system to ensure there was no issue with the drain (there wasn't). This type of customer service is rare these days. I am very happy I had the system installed and appreciate the professionalism I have encountered with this company from the estimate, work, finishing and follow-up. Thank you!!"

"My service tech, Jordan Foy, called promptly in the morning and arrived right on schedule. He was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job installing my sump pump and the underground line. He made sure I approved of what he was going to do each step of the way. He was also very nice to my golden retriever puppy who wanted to be his assistant. I will be using Ayers Basement Systems again for additional work on my basement next spring."

"Old sump had fried without our knowledge and basement acquired water. Had NO clue on how to replace/reinstall the replacement pump we purchased or hook it up, so we called Dependable. Set up appt for that day, they called back within 2 hours to confirm that their tech Jeremy was on his way. Professional, prompt response, courteous, and took the time to explain the sump system and preventative measures we should take in the future. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND and will use them again with no hesitation."

"<p>I had an outdoor faucet that had been dripping since late summer. I turned the shut off valve as much as it would go, but it still dripped. It was the outdoor faucet that I used the most so I needed it replaced so I could turn the water back on. Also, my floor drain in the basemant would overflow when I did laundry. I called Roto-Rooters to make an appointment and was told that their over time rate was after 4 pm. I had to wait until I had a day off since I didn't want to pay over the $149/hr rate they charge. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Dominic was the technician that came to my house. I explained to him what I needed done. He explained a couple options for me for my faucet. I ened up just having the actual faucet changed since I had never had problems before with my pipes freezing. I had used Roto-rooter before to cleaned out the floor drain in my basement. Last time they came out and cleaned it out and that was it. Dominic asked me when the drain was overflowing (which was just when I did laundry.) He cleaned the drain out and then watched the laundry sink fill up with water. He noticed that the link trap I was using wasn't doing any good. The water would fill up and cover the link trap that the washer hose was going into. The link would then go into the water and down the drain which is why my drain was overflowing again. He suggested using a wire sock style lint trap and explained to me what they looked like, where to get them, etc.</p> <p>When I had called to make the appointment the lady asked what form of payment I would be using. I told her my visa debit card. When I went to pay after the job was done, Dominic asked if I knew there was a 3% handling charge on all debit and credit payments. I ended up paying with a check so I didn't have to pay the charge. I didn't understand why I wasn't told over the phone about the charge especially after I was asked what payment I would use. I told the technician that and he said he would make sure to look into it. That was really my only issue. I wish the overtime rate started later in the day for people who work during the day</p> <br />"

"One screw type pier installed. 2 workers hand dug hole below bottom of foundation. Cleaned out under foundation for platform. Although foundation was deeper than I thought, the hole was done much better and quicker than I envisioned. Pier was screwed at bottom of hole with a hydraulic motor. Once limit on hydraulic pressure was reached, the pier was cut at proper level, platform installed, and cracked section of foundation was raised with a hydraulic jack. Crack in stonework closed up nicely without going too far and creating additional cracks. Workers had 5 and 15 years experience doing this work. Very professional and did a very nice job every step of the way. Note that I (homeowner) chose to move and reinstall landscaping stones and gutter drain. Also, tuckpointing/repairing the cracks was not included in the quote. I plan to do that myself at a later date."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Kinde, MI

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.
