"It turned out to be more costly as they said that I needed more work on the basement walls which included digging, and installing and new sump pump. They got the job done in about 2 weeks. The workers were okay and the cleanup was so-so."

"Needed install for a kitchen faucet with corroded bolts. Prompt reply, friendly service. Cost was high, but as quoted--no surprises, even though it took him over three hours to get the old fixture out and install the new one. Would definitely work with them again."

"Quackers was the 2nd vendor to review the problem. The first vendor proposed a much more expensive solution. Quacker's saw that I did not have a sump pump in my sump pit so they proposed that this be the first step to fix the problem which so far is working. He also advised me to run new drainage tile away from foundation near where the water entered the basement."

"We had issues with our basement rear wall that had the potential to turn into structural problems, and were due to poor drainage. I wanted one company to fix both the structural and drainage at once with a holistic solution. I didn't want one company to come and dig up the backyard and then fill it in again without addressing the drainage. Atlas came and dug out the dirt behind the basement wall, then jacked up the house a miniscule amount, then straightened out the back wall. They also installed metal braces that tied the basement wall to the house joists, which puts a lot more support against it moving in the future. They then installed a french drain system at the base of the outside wall, put in a sump well and pump, then routed that to a daylight discharge in the front yard. They also connected the rear downspouts to the discharge. I was most impressed with the quality of the solution and the quickness in which it was installed. They estimated it would take a week to install, but in reality, they started on Tuesday and finished on Thursday. I received two bids on this project and Atlas was the lower one. The main issue I had was the time it took to get started. I paid my deposit on 31 Oct, but they didn't get started until 16 January. This was due to scheduling with other customers and weather pushing things back. I'm sure they had good reasons. It was also a little challenging to get updates on scheduling. I paid my deposit, then waited weeks without hearing anything. I finally had to call to get an update. As I recall, I ended up calling several times over the course of 2 months before I got a firm scheduled date. All in all, I am very happy with the job that was done. There has not been a major rainfall to put it to the test yet, but it seems like a quality solution."

"Our home is 20 years old and due to some things that the original builders did during construction, we had excessive floor noise (squeaks and creaks) and the overall floor performance wasn't what it should be. I found Gary and Kimberlin Construction here, and after reviewing the site, talking to Gary, and sharing the specifics of our situation, he and his team were the right folks to come in and help us out. The overall job took three days, and I'm extremely happy with the results. The floor feels much better when walking on it, and the squeaks and creaks have effectively been eliminated. Throughout the job Gary and his team were professional, always on time, and took the time to both listen to the info that I shard, as well as explained what exactly they were going to do as well as what they did. They worked in a safe manner while in our home, something that is so important given the situation with COVID. The price was quite reasonable for the work that was done, and if I had to do it all over again I would. I whole-heartedly recommend Kimberlin Construction for any work that you need done, and I will certainly be using them again as needed for other repair or remodeling projects."

"They were not overpriced. The salesman did not try and sell us something we didn't need. 2 workers came out, did exactly what they said they would do. In fact the end product of the drainage system to the front yard was better than I thought it would be!"

"I had a sump pump installed (fall 2022), along with drainage channels and a moisture barrier in one of corner of my basement. The sump pump has a battery backup system too. Install was done very professionally. They worked with me to finance the project through a 0% loan which was a nice feature. There was an issue in spring of 2023. They came promptly, diagnosed a bad pump and replaced free of charge. Recently the pump alarm kept going off intermittently. Got a repair tech scheduled to come out same week. He found a issue with how the alarm was placed and replaced that part. Both times that I had issues, thetechs were very knowledgeable and informed me further about how the system works. I would highly recommend this company for water issues."

"They did a really good job waterproofing my basement. The crew was professional, arrived on time, and explained the entire process before getting started, and completed the job with great attention to detail. It's clear they take pride in their work. I'd definitely recommend them if you need your basement waterproofed."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Saint-Louis, MO

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.
