"Frontier Basement Systems (Joelton, TN) was really fantastic to work with! The job had to be rescheduled multiple times due to my concern about the excessive rain causing the ingress/egress area in my yard to be too soft for the weight of the work truck, but Logan in the Production Dept. was extremely accommodating. Eric F. arrived promptly and was extremely courteous. He was thorough, making sure he had all the voids filled, and cleaned up well when the job was completed. I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Frontier Basement Systems!"

"I’m extremely happy with the work they did on my basement! The team was professional, punctual, and clearly knew what they were doing. They installed a tile drain system and handled all the concrete work with great attention to detail. Everything looks solid and clean, and the water issues I had before are completely gone. They kept the workspace tidy, communicated every step of the way, and made sure I was satisfied with the results. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing basement or drainage work done right!"

"Jamison and Matt were great to work with. They were generous with their time in coming out and talking through what I needed to do to repair the gutters on my house and fix our drainage issues. Matt was very knowledgeable about drainage issues. They quoted me the best price among other bidders and explained the benefits of repairing my gutters vs the benefits of replacing them. Jamison knows his stuff when it comes to gutters and the different guard systems out there. I went with the repair option and saved a fair amount of money. It did take a few weeks for us to get the workers out here to do the work, but when they did make out here, they were polite, professional, and did great work and got it all done in a day. I'd happily work with Monster Home Services again."

"Full encapsulation, drainage system, sump pump and dehumidifier. I had a leaking basement, and the smell was awful. It was damp, and my family was always sick. I am extremely happy with Shield's work. We can enjoy our basement now, and we even turned it into a gym."

"We called on a Saturday and left two messages on what seemed to be their emergency response line, no callback. We had used them before for a large job just a month ago so I had one of their plumbers' numbers, texted him and never got a reply. Finally on Monday I got a response - if this had been a larger leak I would have stopped right here and called a more responsive plumber. We were contacted on Monday and they said they could come out that afternoon, I met them at my house within the contact window and got several notices they were coming via email and phone call. They were prompt and responsive once we got them on the job. Two plumbers came out; the lead plumber said he could replace the valve, but then said that they really should replace both hot and cold valves since they both were old. He gave me two quotes, one where he replaced just the leaky valve and the faucet install and it was somewhere around $325(!) - the second where he did both and the faucet for $275. Both of these were more than I wanted to spend and I was pretty confident about my ability to replace the faucet, so I said specifically "I want you to only replace the hot water valve, nothing else". According to the itemization on the receipt, this should have been around $160 or so. They go get parts and get to work on it, but then after a little while they ask me about re-using the faucet, if they could damage it to get it off. I was definitely confused and alarmed at this point, they were supposed to just be replacing one valve - I come into the kitchen and they had started pulling out the old faucet and already pulled off the old lines that came up from the valves and effectively damaged it to the point that we had to proceed with the new faucet. I was upset about this and they offered to discount the total price by $50 to compensate for the misunderstanding if we proceeded with the faucet replacement; apparently he had thought I was going with their first quote. He went ahead and put in the new faucet and new lines up to it from the valves, and replaced just the one broken valve. I was glad to have the new lines put in as they were more secure and the work was done neatly. I did have the wrong faucet type (no sprayer). and had to go back myself and swap that out after they left, but that was my fault for purchasing the wrong type - a warning would have been nice, but they did what I asked and I can't fault that. Overall, I was put off by the "upsell" nature of the call - it felt like they were adding work to bump up the price and I have already spent nearly $4000 with them replacing pipes this year, so that felt like they were trying to just milk me. And while I think it was a mistake and the guy really just didn't hear what I said, I ended up ultimately paying for work I didn't really want done - it was discounted enough that I wasn't too upset though. Michael's has never been the cheapest option but they do good work, so I didn't mind getting my major pipes replaced through them. I don't think I will call them for smaller service issues again though, and it seems I can't rely on weekend service from them in an emergency."

"We had a very good experience with Mr. Ashe's service.

As soon as we moved into a house, we noticed a groundhog in the backyard. Once contacted, Mr. Ashe came out promptly for evaluation and estimate. We asked him to start trapping in a few days for 5 consecutive days. One day before his first trapping, we noticed squirrels. With this finding, he placed traps for both groudhog and squirrels without extra fees.

He came out every morning to check on traps and removed animals. When a skunk was caught to our surprise, he volunteered to come out for an extra 5 days, again without additional fees.

His service was not just for trapping and removal of animals but involved evaluation of backyard fences and porch. He advised us on how to patch potential portal of entry of animals. Based on his advice, we had a contractor install rubber and wire guard below the porch and in the lower portion of fence. We have not seen any unwanted animals since. If we are to have any wildlife issues in the future, we will be contacting classic wildlife control without hesitation!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Portland, TN

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.
