From the moment they arrived, they were professional, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely cared about helping us. They went above and beyond to get the job done right, and we couldn’t have asked for better service. They were aware of our situation and handled it with such compassion and generosity.

"Donna and Jeff (owners) were hands on supervisors. They both patiently answered lots of questions and provided recommendations and resources out of their scope of business.  I felt confident that Jeff and Donna knew their business well and that my best interests were being well served.  I feel confident that they will respond quickly to any questions that I may have in the future regarding this project.  I would recommend them without any reservation.  I felt like I was fairly treated and charged a fair price for their services and the system installed.  Stated scheduled was maintained with proposed start and completion dates.

"This review is for Master Services, Crawl Space and Foundation Repair in Knoxville, TN. phone # 8653453030 , [*** Link removed ***] . We had the pleasure of meeting Nick (Sales Inspector) and Brandon, Brandon, and Jacob (Installers). We hired Master Services on 2/16/21 (work done on 2/22/21) to install a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system in our home in Greeneville, TN. Nick is a terrific salesman. He is professional and does not push any unnecessary work. Brandon, Brandon and Jacob (I believe Jacob was our installers name - sorry if not), did such a tremendous job. They worked quickly, efficiently, and made sure to keep our home free of mess. Overall we are very happy we hired Master Services and recommend them to anyone needing foundation repair."

"I needed a smooth, level work surface in my garage, which had a very uneven and bumpy floor made of old brick.  Rocky used a masonry saw to cut a 6X9 foot section out of the brick, leaving clean edges.  He chiseled out, collected and hauled off the old brick, and dug out enough of the dirt that had been beneath the brick to allow for the desired depth of cement (about 4 inches).  He then installed steel reinforcing rods, mixed the cement in a small portable mixer, and poured/surfaced the pad.  

This was a tricky task because the unevenness of the original floor did not allow him to simply use the sides of the hole he had cut as forms for the pad, nor was it possible to use form boards.  In some spots, the level pad was slightly beneath the height of the old brick surface, and at other spots it was above the old brick surface.  Rocky did a very nice job of splitting the difference between the high and low areas of the original floor to minimize the difference in both directions while keeping the finished pad surface level.  All the pad edges were beveled to achieve a nice appearance and to avoid corners that could increase the risk of tripping or interfere with rolling things onto the pad.

Rocky was very personable, knowledgeable and communicated well about the design and implementation of this project.  He charged what I feel was a reasonable price for the job and demonstrated a strong investment in my satisfaction, along with an admirable work ethic and positive attitude.  I would gladly use this provider again for future projects.

"Was directed to buy the unit myself (Home Depot), they would install it. By the way, there was a sign at Home Depot that their contractors could install for $99. But Matt and his assistant came out. Very professional. They quoted $270 to install. Took all of 20 minutes. I have buyers remorse that I authorized this expense, but I had taken time off work to be home for this. Inflated pricing,"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Lenoir City, TN

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.
