"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!"

"David Spence did it again!! We had 2 bathrooms that needed to be gutted and one a conversion from tub to shower only. Not only did David Spence come in at a fair price, everything was done professionally and in a timely manner. Tile for second bath was running behind so instead of having us wait for it to come in, he gave us a choice to go pick out tile from Floor and Decor, which we did and the bathroom looks beautiful. Great customer service! We love that Ched and Tristan took time to answer any concerns we had along the way and they kept us up to date on the daily work. Both of our bathrooms are totally unrecognizable from where we started. You can’t go wrong hiring DAVID SPENCE INC. for your remodeling needs. We would definitely recommend him and his team."

"Jason was awesome. We first called The Drain Team for a bad backup in our 1961 home. He cleared the blockage and videoed the entire system. He found roots in the sewer line going to the road, clogged vent pipes and what appeared to be a sagging pipe full of water under the bedroom. He cleaned the blocked vents and cabled the lines. He gave us an estimate for repairing the lateral that goes under our paver driveway and to excavate and repair the line under the bedroom. He suggested if we were to repair the lateral, they could hydrojet the rest of the house at that time to get a better view of the suspect bedroom pipe. A week later they were able to repair the lateral without having to take up any pavers. We opted for the hydro jet cleaning and they spent a couple hours cleaning out 60+ years of gunk. In doing so, they determined the bedroom pipe was, in fact, fine, just full of hard scale in a couple areas causing the pipe to hold liquid. By cleaning the pipes first saved me an over $3K repair and having to take up and replace the floor. Jason's integrity is beyond reproach. A lesser company would have jackhammered the floor. I called Jason back for another job to replace the original tub drain that had corroded into the almost closed position. Working in a small opening in a block wall, he was able to remove the drain and utilize the existing cast-iron trap to install a new assembly. Everything works great now. I highly recommend Jason of The Drain Team."

"We had a very positive experience. I called during morning business hours and scheduled for first thing the next day. The plumber Joe and his helper Lenny arrived promptly at the scheduled time, looked over the situation, explained what they were going to do, completed the work, cleaned up and the bill was as estimated by Steve during our original conversation. which I thought was entirely reasonable for an hours work for 2 people plus the supplies (wax rings, bolt caps). I would hire them again in a New York Minute!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Lithia, 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.
