"The installation couldn't have gone any smoother. From the moment we engaged Joe he was clear and concise with work, effort and price. The work started and finished on time and on budget. Joe did the tiling himself and made sure that the company for the shower doors was lined up to install after a few days wait for things to dry properly. Very happy with the overall result and will be asking him back to do more work for us in the kitchen in the near future."

"I noticed that the plumbing in one of my bathrooms was backing up and called Glenn Tatum. They came the next day checked my plumbing, tried to unblock the piping and determined that my septic tank was not working. They charged $80.00 for that service call including Angie's List discount, which I found quite reasonable. They called in their septic service division which came to my home the same afternoon and found that my sum pump was  finished. They installed a new pump, new wiring, replaced the alarm float, and pumped the tank all in about one hour. By the end of the day both my plumbing and septic were working just fine. These guys were not cheap, but they were very efficient and I highly recommend them. <br />"

"Excellent workmanship. The installed hose bib pipe had a 'water hammer' problem due to my well pump; not the fault of this vendor. The technician diagnosed and fixed the hammer problem, no extra charge."

"I had a drainage issue in the backyard of my investment property. Living out of town, it was imperative that I find a company that was knowledgable as well as trustworthy. Judy and her crew at Clear Water PSI were just that. Judy kept me updated every step of the way during the installation of a drain/sump pump system. Judy was patient, understanding, and professional while addressing all the questions and concerns I had."

"Dropped sod off and never came back or called. We've been prepping for this sod for almost 2 years. Every weekend for the last 6 months prepping the soil and putting hardscape in. I'm out of town and husband took 2 days off to be there. Couldn't make it the first day so we scheduled today. The sod came and is still sitting there at 8 pm.  <br /> After about 8 phone calls and 2 emails the lady JUST called my husband. "Well, what do you want me to do, I said I was sorry."  <br />  - Update to this review:  Provider installed the sod the following day 9/30 and apologized for the curt response from the day before.  Unfortunately my husband was not able to be there as he had taken the 28th (first install date) and 29th (second install date) off as vacation days already. <br /> <br /> The job was done poorly, with gaps between pieces of sod (up to 2") although Denise assured me the sod was laid as they would have in their own yard.  Everything I read says the pieces should be right next to each other.  Lawn Pros came back out and filled in some of the holes with small pieces of sod, but a slow-growing sod such as Zoysia will take much longer to fill in and the small pieces are less likely to survive. <br /> <br /> The company has been very responsive since that first day, calling and coming out to look at our issues and try to resolve. At this point they have done everything they can to make it right. "

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in New Smyrna Beach, 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.
