Four Leaf Restoration, LLC, has over 10 years of experience in the waterproofing and mold industries. We specialize in everything from mold remediation, to sump pump installation, to waterproofing your home. We do not believe that the same company should perform the mold test and abatement, because that is a conflict of interest, We only do what is necessary, not what is profitable. Call us today for a consultation on your project.
"I hired Four Leaf Restoration to install a sump pump system in my dirt floor crawlspace. Mike, the owner, is a consummate professional and very honest and straightforward in communications regarding what needs to be done. He gave me a thorough report and estimate following his inspection. For the work that had to be done, his pricing was very fair. Due to recent storms, he was already fully booked but sent his crew over to start working the following weekend. Those guys did an amazing job: removed all of the tar paper covering the dirt floor and all the insulation overhead so they could inspect thoroughly for any mold due to humidity and any moisture that might have occurred. They sprayed the entire crawlspace in case there was unseen mold, then followed up with a spray mold deterrent. The sump pump and drainage system were installed and the entire floor was covered with a heavy gauge plastic. All new insulation was also installed. The crew dug a french drain out in my yard for the sump pump drain and tied in downspouts on that side to fully divert water away from the house. At the end of each day, they cleaned everything up. They did an amazing job! The man who does my annual termite inspection said he has never been in a crawlspace that is that clean and that actually smells good. Mike also recommended a dehumidifier for the crawlspace for summer months (same one he uses in his home). While he doesn't sell them, he gave me a link to a website and came by to set it up after it arrived. You will not find a more honest or hardworking company than Mike's Four Leaf Restoration. I cannot say enough good things about them. He was referred to me by a co-worker and I am so grateful for that referral!! If have problems with water or mold remediation/restoration in your basement or crawlspace, do not hesitate to call Mike at Four Leaf Restoration."

"Working with Just Dry Basements was best described as no-nonsense, fast, and high-quality. In a highly-charged emotional situation like a basement flooding - it is easy to just pick someone to do the work out of desperation. I was lucky enough to work with JDB, who not only rapidly assessed, made a plan together on how we would approach the job, and accommodated a difficult situation where the basement was mostly finished, and they had to carefully deconstruct some of the walls to put in the proper mitigation. A year plus later and a LOT of rain past, the work truly stands the test of time and whatever the elements can throw at it. I have since worked with JDB on other projects, and not just because of the quality of work, but also their fair pricing, friendly and predictable communication, as well as standing behind their work 100%."

French drains can last between 30 and 40 years, offering long-term protection for your home's foundation. They work by diverting both underground and surface water away from your property, helping prevent water buildup and structural damage. Opting for models with cloth filters can extend the drain's durability even further. Regular maintenance and professional installation ensure your system works efficiently for decades.
You can install a French drain anywhere from two feet below ground to the level of your foundation's footings. If you're dealing with surface water like rain or snowmelt, a shallow drain might suffice. But if you're concerned about groundwater, you'll need a deeper drain inside your home. Contractors typically install interior perimeter drains beneath the basement floor's concrete.
Yes, interior French drains are very effective at preventing flooding and water damage in your home. When properly installed, they channel moisture away from your structure. If the perimeter pipe ever clogs, a plumber can easily access it for repairs. To maximize efficiency, it's essential to combine an interior French drain with a sump pump, which helps redirect water away from your home.
Certified professionals install French drains to ensure they work properly. You can hire foundation specialists, licensed plumbers, or experienced landscapers—all have the expertise and tools needed for proper installation. They design systems that redirect water safely away from your property. By trusting a qualified expert, you ensure your French drain will perform well and protect your home for the long term.
After installing a French drain, you should take a few steps to keep it working well. First, repair any areas of your lawn or garden that were disturbed during installation—this might include reseeding grass or replanting flowers. If you had the drain installed in your basement, consider upgrading your waterproofing for extra protection. Finally, schedule regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the system continues diverting water efficiently and protecting your property over time.
