"Eric and his crew tackled a long-standing drainage problem in the basement of our 1932 Craftsman bungalow. We'd had several estimates and options but They impressed us from the start with their solution to the problem and their professionalism. They were great communicators and kept us apprised of what they were doing every step of the way. Can't recommend them enough."

"Peeples plumbing was so easy to work with they were able to accommodate my schedule and work around a late rescheduling. The tech that came out to install my gas grill was very knowledgeable and instructed me how to swap out the propane orfices for the new gas orfices. He was also very neat and careful not to damage my newly laid sod. I would definitely recommend using Peeples Plumbing and I will call them again for any plumbing jobs I may have in the future."

"Jason and Tabbie from Limric did an excellent job removing and replacing the water heater. They were super easy to work with and explained what they would do in a good way. They stayed to ensure the air was out of the system and water was running hot. They cleaned up everything, including the disposal of the old tank. The expansion tank was installed with a brass fitting to provide better stability. I would hire Jason and Tabbie any day to do this work. The price that Kenny / Limric quoted came with a $300 discount which really helped. Once the price was agreed on, Limric was able to schedule the install that same afternoon."

"Greg came out personally to do the estimate. He was extremely professional and informed us that the quote that he gave us was the firm price to do the entire job and there would be no hidden costs nor would the price go up. Upon receiving our quote, we booked the job about a couple weeks out. Greg came out with his crew on day one of the job and after a quick walk around, they got to work. Greg did not stay as he had other projects to attend to but his crew word quickly and efficiently. Greg stopped by throughout the job to see that everything was going okay. His crew was very professional and kept the work area clean and tidied up at the end of the day. The entire project took 5 1/2 days to complete and what a difference it has made to our house. They enclosed the crawl space with cement board that extended about 1 ft in the ground. When that was finished, they lined the crawl space with 20 mil plastic sheeting and used spray foam to seal the spots between the columns and the cement board. They built and installed 2 access doors so we could easily get into the crawl space if we needed to store anything or make repairs. They also had an electrician come out and install an outlet so they could install a dehumidifier to keep the crawl space nice and dry. Our A/C ducts run under our house and after the job was complete, I have noticed a big difference in the time that my A/C unit runs during the day. I am certain that my electric bill will be significantly lower now that the job is done. I enthusiastically highly recommend Greg and his crew to come out and do any crawl space work that you may need. I know they will beat almost every competitor's price and exceed your expectations as they did mine. A++"

"We had a leaking pipe and Jay came out within hours of my call. Charged a fair price for patching up the line so we wouldn't be without water for the night. We liked his work and customer service so much that we got him to repipe our house. He did a fantastic job at an awesome price. He also put in our new kitchen faucet. He's fair, honest, and hard-working. You don't need to look any further."

"During December Mel did our HVAC maintenance, diagnosed the need for and installed a new condensate pump for our downstairs system and added a UVC germicidal system for our new upstairs HVAC system. We always request Mel for his expertise, knowledge and willingness to explain, and he always does an excellent job. We also had a new upstairs HVAC that was installed by Robbie and John and subsequent duct cleaning and disinfecting by Thomas. They all did an excellent job and were good and patient at explaining, answering questions and cleaning up the work area."

"My first communication with Mike was at the end of June. In mid-July, I still hadn't gotten an estimate. It occurred to me that noone had asked me about what pattern flooring I wanted so I called Mike.  He said "You just need to go to Lumber Liquidators website and choose one." I did not know this was the process.    Having no idea what to look for in flooring as far as quality or budget constraints I  chose a (thankfully) great bamboo product.  The work was supposed to start in August but the flooring I chose was not in stock so I had to pay for additional shipping costs and then it was on backorder.   Then when the day came to start the project, September 15, the flooring  hadnt been picked up! and so another few days went by while it acclimated.  After the majority of the flooring was installed it was weeks later that the nosing for  the stairs arrived.  Apparently it wasnt ordered at the time the flooring was.
I had to rent a POD for my furniture during the flooring installation and it stayed in my driveway for weeks after the job was over.
I was told that tile was the way to go in the bathroom and I needed to go to Lowes and pick it out.  I did that but when it was time to start the tile job Logan had not picked it up so I had to start all over again choosing tile.  It was assumed I would know that I knew I had to pick out the grout as well as the tub, faucet, sink, countertop, etc.  I had no idea how to do this without measurements and guidance on what would work and how to stay in budget.
 I havent dealt with contractors often but I have had flooring installed on two prior occasions.  both times I chose the product I wanted, it was ordered , and placed in my home for acclimation. Then the work began.   I guess I thought someone would walk through this with me since the quote was based on price allowances and measurements on each item in the bid. I ended up buying my own sink, faucet, and shower head after being  so frustrated with them.
  The project manager (Logan) is very enthusiastic and positive when you meet him . He told me he was hands on but was actually nowhere to be found on the job during installation.  communicating with him was difficult.  He didn't respond to texts.  I had to forward them to Mike and when he responded I felt like somehow I was to blame for not understanding how things work.  I was told that they do this work every day and customers know to pick out what they want.  I'm not sure about that.
  1. The two guys who did the actual work (Auty and Johnny) are knowledgeable and talented carpenters and if not for them and the fact that they intervened for me several times, i'm not sure when the jobs would have been completed.  
  2. While I wish them every success, I cannot write anything other than  my truth here.  I believe the business needs better administration and communication with customers in order to last for the long term.  I think a sit-down meeting at the outset to review product choices and price point would be valuable.  And, a project manager who is on site.

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in North Charleston, SC

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.
