"I had OBA install outdoor french drains and new downspouts a couple of years before they waterproofed my basement. They were the only company I could find who did it all. Basement waterproofing included removing old, putting in new: full inside perimeter drainage, enlarge sump pit, 2 sump pumps, I-beams and carbon fiber straps. Added in brand new: battery backup for sump and vapor barrier on most affected wall. When my basement got wet a year later after the work was done, they didn't hesitate to schedule someone to inspect. If was heavy condensation, barely a thin puddle compared to 2 inches of flowing water. They had to rework a 6 ft section and add cement around the I-beams, each on their own call outs. They didn't charge because I have a lifetime warranty, transferable to the next owner. I'll be working with them again soon for a professional level dehumidifier."

"They fixed the leak and put in a sump pump and water trench. The basement leaked 2 more times afterwards, but they returned to correct it right away. We were responsible all 3 times to repair the drywall and wood landing at the bottom of the stairs,so I called saying that I should not have to keep fixing those thing over and over. The CEO of the company called back and came out to the house himself to inspect. He had his people come out to the house again to do more that he felt would fix the problem for good, as well fixing the drywall and landing at no cost. It was a frustrating experience, but this company and it's CEO stood by thier work and made it right. I would use them again."

"It went smoothly exactly as Paul described the job. His crew installed a sump pump and ensured in drained to the curb. The crew replaced the drain run to the curb and dug around the existing bushes. The crew also connected the the roof downspout to the run to the curb.The crew installed a perforated pipe in a trench which created a floating basement floor on 3 sides of the basement. (the 4th wall was not necessary since was an interior wall.) They concreted over the pipe with a gap to the wall. they repaired and painted the basement walls."

"From calling for an estimate to the installation, this was as close as you get to the perfect interaction with a service company. The person that answered the phone was pleasant and got us a prompt appointment for an estimate. The salesman / estimator was prompt courteous and explained everything and answered all our questions he even steered us away from a price your unit that we were looking at. On the day of the installation the service text called about 20 minutes before they arrived they came in got the job done and a time frame they specified it did take all day but that was expected and they left my basement cleaner than it was when they got there. The service techs were polite knowledgeable and quiet throughout the day. I worked from home and wasn't disturbed at all; in fact I probably disturb them by checking in. A few weeks later, we are extremely happy with their air conditioner and can't wait to experience the new furnace once it finally gets cold enough to need it. I would definitely contact Thomas and Galbraith again and will be going through them for any future service needed on the furnace and air conditioner. Oh I can't forget to mention they offer a fantastic warranty on parts and labor which was awesome. Much better than what we found with other companies we solicited estimates from."

"Todd came out to look at our tri-level home which had water coming into basement from crawl space during heavy rains. He told me why water had started coming in after years of a dry basement and explained a solution involving a new sump pump pit and geo-channels to correct the problem.  Jorge and Armando, the technicians, arrived when expected. They were very polite and after I showed them the opening to the crawl space they immediately put down drop clothes to protect my floors.  They went straight to work digging and installing a new sump pump pit with a new sump pump, backup pump and battery backup.  They consulted with me on placement of the pit and where I wanted the water to drain.  They then installed a geo channel to channel water that had come in under the crawl space to the new pit.  They completely cleaned up after the job.  Both technicians were friendly, professional and exceptionally accepting of my puppy who, being a puppy, could be annoying.  I am very happy with the procedures and look forward to a dry basement this year. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Ripley, OH

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.
