"All-Star installed 2 sump pumps in our basement. The estimate was fair and our questions and change request were accommodated courteously and professionally. On install day, the team arrived as promised and brought in extra guys and worked late to complete it in one day. I appreciated the communication before to confirm the job (including the suggestion to cover everything to avoid dust) and the follow-up call the week after."

"Nate (salesman) took all of the time required to answer our questions and develop a plan to deal with the high water table issues. The installation crew communicated with us throughout the installation of the interior drainage system and sump pumps and Dave (Service Tech) went above and beyond to finish the triple safe sump system installation and tweak other elements of the initial installation. All worked to leave the basement as clean as this process could allow."

"This work was done in a very professional and timely manner starting with our request for estimate thru the actual installation. The communication was excellent as was the work done. Merilee and Chad worked very, very hard as a team and encountered tree roots throughout the work and under our sidewalk. Their work was very neat and clean up was excellent. We would highly recommend them for this work."

"I was very satisfied with the work. The fellow who came out to give me the bid was very knowledgeable, friendly, and did not try to talk me into anything more expensive. I was impressed that he said the solution to my water problem was just one glass block window. And he was right. I waited until after I went through not only a 4-day constant rain, but one torrential rain, to do this report, just to see if it worked. And it did. My basement is dry."

"We needed to put in an egress window in our basement and there are many reputable companies out there who can install egress windows. However, our basement already had existing wall anchor plates which significantly complicated the egress window install. Complete Basement Systems was the only company willing to take on the project and had experience with such systems. The solution was to remove the wall anchor plates, replace them with wall braces, and install the egress window. Cody and his crew called 1 week ahead of time to verify install details and allowed me to ask questions on how I could prep the area for their work. They set the schedule to arrive at 9:00 AM on day 1 to perform the work, which they arrived on-time and promptly began work. The day they performed the work, unfortunately, happened to also be the hottest day of the year. Cody and his crew work without one single complaint, they worked through lunch without a break, remained professional and positive. Given the extent of the work that needed to be done, they needed to return the following day to complete the install of the window. Cody and his crew worked incredibly hard, were professional, and the quality of their work was excellent. I would not hesitate to hire Complete Basement Systems again for any future work we would need to be done in our basement and would highly recommend them to anyone considering basement improvements/repairs/remodels."

"I called DC Annis on a Sunday because the drain in my basement was backing up. They offered to come out on an emergency basis, but I opted for a routine appointment on the following day. They arrived on Monday and did a great job! No back ups since."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Lonsdale, MN

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.
