"My wife & I moved to Port Saint Lucie, FL two months ago and looked up 5 star rated plumbing companies to perform minor work in our home when we first arrived. She selected Genesis Plumbing Services as a result of reading all their 5 star reviews and the feedback from their customers. Ed Hickman was the licensed & insured member of the Genesis Plumbing team that came to our home previously and returned to our home to successfully complete our toilet replacement. Ed is very professional, courteous and focused on customer satisfaction. As additional background, Ed previously successfully installed a new water shutoff value that had broken off. He completed that quickly, efficiently and cared about the quality of the work he provided. This was confirmed when another company that does our AC work, saw our new water shutoff value that Ed installed and they said, "who ever did that installation is a true craftsman". They went on to say that everything was lined up, soldering joints cleanly done and the value is installed in the correct direction. They said this is excellent work! I told them Genesis Plumbing Services did the work and they said, that is an excellent company. Kudos to Ed Hickman for that excellent quality water value installation at hour home. Next, we had an original house toilet from the 1990's go bad and called Genesis Plumbing Services to get it checked and ultimately replaced. Ed said he would take that work order as he was already familiar with us and our house. We were notified by the Genesis office staff that our appointment was on Tuesday and Ed Hickman would do the work. My wife and I were very pleased that Ed was returning to our home to do this work. Ed came in and examined our toilet and explained in detail the problems he found and the potential cost for a replacement. He took the time to explain the details and listen to our questions. It was a reasonable quote, timeframe and we accepted it. Ed was punctual, as always, called before arriving and professional, courteous and always wants to do the job right the first time. He successfully completed the toilet replacement and throughout the replacement process showed us the problems he identified, explained what he was going to do to fix it and did exactly what he said he was going to do. The bottom line is that Ed Hickman did an excellent job replacing our toilet in a timely fashion and cleaned up, so that you would never know he did any work in our bathroom. Ed is an excellent team player working for Genesis Plumbing Services and should be recognized for his efforts. Genesis is an excellent company and we will be contacting them for our future plumbing needs. Keep up the great work!"

"Kevin arrived as scheduled and kept me apprised of the work he was doing. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely use and recommend Meeks for any plumbing related work. In addition, a 2nd Meeks crew performed a septic tank clean-out. they too were knowledgeable and professional - I will use that service again in the future too."

"We had toilets both stopped up on a Sunday. We called Service Plumbing and the technician came same day! I was very happy. I have a 6 person family household. The technician called and let us know that he was on his way. He was punctu. He came out and assessed our clog, found the problem, and unclogged our drains from the outside. Not only did he do that VERY QUICKLY, he checked our septic tank and SHOWED us where the whole problem was. He could've unclogged the drains, collected, and left. But he knew that we needed more than just to bust a clog.. Not on the technician, but management was professional as well. I strongly recommend. This is an honest company with great prices. Call around and find out for yourself. But don't say I didn't tell you so."

"I called their office to set up an appointment to install my newly purchased toilet at about 10:30 am. By 2:00 pm that same day, Parker was at my home starting the job. He was friendly, polite and professional and completed the job in a little over 1 hour. Our condo complex has used Stuart Plumbing on more than one occasion and we have been very satisfied with their personnel and their work. They care about doing a good job, and about their customer's satisfaction. Highly recommend!"

"I purchased a toilet from Home Depot and needed to find a plumber to perform the install. We had problems reaching our preferred plumber and were interested in getting it done as soon as possible. Wife called Du-All for a quote. They came out 2-3 hours late and the service tech gave me a price that seemed to be based on what he thought I could afford or would be willing to pay. <br /> I needed the job done, so I agreed. He removed the old toilet and installed the new. During the install, he told me that my current supply line needed to be upgraded, in order for him to install the new one. He quoted me an additional price of $300, but he said, "if I believe in God", he could do it off the books for half that price (talk about an oxymoron). Being that the price for the toilet install service included a supply line replacement, I asked how much is he going to deduct since he can't install it. He said, "oh, I can take off about $30". I declined the service and had him finish the install. <br /> I can't say the quality of the product was bad because I purchased the toilet myself. I will have to see if I run into any install issues in the future. <br /> If you aren't in a real pinch, I recommend finding another plumbing company that is more direct with pricing and punctual. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Lorida, 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.
