"Had a SEVERE problem with the original construction of my 7 year old home. JES sent a rep out who diagnosed the problem and gave me what I considered a very fair quote to fix it. The crew they sent out, Angel Mara, and Isaias & Jose Flores were professional, communicative and friendly. Communication between setting the appointment and the actual day of was weak, but otherwise very happy."

"Damon and his crew took a dirty semi-wet crawlspace and made it clean and dry. They did all the work in one day. When I thought there might be an issue, Damon was responsive and eager to help."

"The team that came and did the work were fantastic, in spite of, the lady in the office, very nice, the rest, management etc terrible. I was quoted a job that I really did not need, the worked was not presented to the team that did the work correctly. The install equipment the install team had to use was trash, their truck was barely running, they were not supplied the correct piping for the job, no support by management while on the job. I would not recommend them to anyone. Do not use."

"If I could just rate some of the service technicians I would rate them higher and would recommend that they find a new ethical company to work for! We purchased our unit seven years ago. We had gotten a quote several months prior to purchasing our unit and when we purchased there was a sale that was $500 cheaper then the quote. They had us sign the quote sheet acknowledging installation which had ten year parts and one year labor warranty which we did not pay attention to since it was an old quote. However, the invoice we received had the correct amount that I paid and listed 10 year parts and labor warranty which now they don't want to honor. An attorney I consulted said the invoice would stand up in small claims court which I am now considering. It's just ashamed people don't have ethical business practices. I would encourage anyone looking for a new unit or service for existing systems to look elsewhere!!!!!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"I have no idea how many visits, appointments, emergency calls for help or just plumbing issues we have had over more than 25 years at two residents. They have always been dependable, punctual and had a great eagerness to provide exceptional service. Recently upgraded a plumbing fixture and it works great. The follow-up calls have been very much appreciated. Being a diamond club member has been well worth the money spent. I don't have any pictures."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Roanoke, VA

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.
