"Dan was here this morning, showed him where water was leaking in over our slab and ruining the flooring in the master bedroom. He gave me the full range of possible remedies, from installing a eaves gutter on the roofline outside the bedroom to a full (very expensive) sealing of the entire exterior foundation. And actually recommended that we start with the gutter (which I can do myself) and then monitor the area next rainy season and see if that fixes the problem. No pressure to hire them or spend big $$, just good advice. Couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended- this is real service!"

"Samuel is great - he’s done work at our condo a few times and I will absolutely hire him again and recommend him to others. He’s always respectful of our home, always helps me understand all of the options to solve the problem, and never tries to take advantage of the fact I know absolutely nothing about plumbing. For ex: He came to our house last week and charged me less than he had quoted me because the work was easier than expected."

"I stared to look for a plumber after I found water under my water heater. I jumped on Angi and posted my issue. With in minutes....Art messaged me and said he can be her 1st thing in the morning. BTW. This was 10pm at night. His quick response was a plus for me. I had one other respond but he over extended himself to my need. He came at 7amd and said....you need a new water heater. I can got get one and install it now. I was a bit reluctant and he said call me when your ready and left. My wife said his prices looked fair and he seemed like a good plumber. I called him back and said lets dance. He was back at my home in a hour and 1/2...and started the work. He protected my carpet and placed plastic on it. He warned my that maybe the cost might go up due to the age of the pipes and valves. He had the old one out and the new one in an an hour or so. He was quick, clean and polite. I paid him and shuck his hand. I recommend Art for your household plumbing needs. He was excellent."

"Art Hovsepian is an absolute professional. He runs a tight ship, employs all of his own plumbers, drywall patchers and doesn't use any sub-contractors. They take their time and do it right the first time. The crew was punctual, cleaned up after themselves and finished the repipe in three days. The drywall patchers came the next day and took a couple of days to finish their work, and we were ready for the painters the next day. Everything was completed within a week and we were totally pleased with the results, the follow up and I cannot recommend this company highly enough. I did much research on repiping and on the various companies that provide this service and am glad I made the decision to go with Repipe Pro."

"My water main that goes from the street to the house had to be replaced. I called 2 other plumbing companies. One did not even bother to return my call until 5 hours later and another one tried to rip me off on price. I called this company at 7pm at night and they returned my call within 10 minutes. They set my appointment the next day at 11am for a free estimate. They came right on time. Joseph was extremely knowledgeable and even called his supervisor so they could put their heads together to figure out how to do the job for the least amount of cost to me. They used this trenchless technology so they did not have to dig up my entire yard. Once the price was agreed to I was expecting at least a few days to start. I asked them when they could start and Joseph said "right now". The digging was minimal and the job was completed by the end of the next day. They took care of everything from the pulling of the permit to the inspection by the county. After the installation was complete and the inspection was done they filled the hole they dug up with fresh cement and the hole in front of my house with fresh stucco. Everyone was a true professional who worked on this job. I cannot be happier and I would give all the people on Joseph's team who worked on this job my highest recommendation. A special thank you to Tony who stayed until 9pm in the cold the first night breaking cement and digging a hole in my yard so the job could be completed the next day. My water pressure is twice as much as it used to be. If I ever need anything plumbing related I will call them again."

"Jay was awesome! We had hired a different plumbing company (Rooter Man Plumbers), and they scammed us out of $1,875.00 by hydro jetting to clear the drain. The drain did not clear and they wanted to come back to replace the sewer line for an additional $2,375.00. I got onto Angie's List and found Jays Independent Drain Cleaning. He arrived on time and was so respectful. He explained what he was going to do after asking us a few questions on what the previous plumber had done. He was very polite and very knowledgeable. He cleared the line and then ran a camera down to inspect everything. The drainage worked perfectly. We only had to pay $375 for everything. I would definitely use Jay again. Thank you Jay!"

"This all happened on a  weekend so I was very worried about finding someone as well as what the cost would be. I checked in the Angie's List booklet and found this plumbing company and was relieved that they provided service 24/7. The plumber arrived and was personable and professional and also reassuring. He returned the next day with a new water heater and installed it within a few hours. I was very impressed with him and the quality of work. I plan to use them again for other plumbing issues.

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

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.
