"Maynards Tree Service were great! They came on time, cut two trees down which were close to our house and garage. They ground the stumps out, cleaned up all debris, and left our yard looking wonderful. Would definitely use them again, and am recommending them to our friends and family! Job well done!"

"In addition to the gutter guards which were installed and the downspouts buried, Thrasher also changed out a misfitting basement window well and cover, and installed a Sadona dehumidifying system. Jonah and his crew of Corrin and Luis were excellent at the work they did. I was called before they arrived, to ensure I was ready for them to start work, and Jonah went over the work with me prior to starting, to confirm what was to be done. Completely professional. After it was completed, we inspected it together and everything was perfect. I will worry less next time it rains! I will definitely recommend Thrasher if anyone I know needs work done."

"The salesman said it would be installed in a certain area, the installation crew disagreed and installed where they thought best. Bottom line, it did not fix the problem I have with water coming in to my basement."

"In 2017, the water table under our house increased. Our finished basement flooded. I contacted several places, most were unresponsive or had a big sales pitches but couldn't get to it for months. Then Absolutely Dry Basement and Waterproofing called back. They told me what needed to be done and I said go. They put in new drain tile throughout the basement and a sump pump. The price was reasonable. I waited for big rains before posting this review. We had several this year and my basement is absolutely dry. Outstanding company."

"Clinton Twaddle and his crew are very professional and very friendly.  We were doing a major remodel on our kitchen (removing walls) and and we needed the gas lines and water lines moved to accommodate the new location of our stove and refrigerator.  I used Twaddle Plumbing the previous month when we moved our laundry room to the opposite side of our house.  In both cases, Clinton came by and gave me an estimate and told me when he could start the job.  They showed up on time, were very fast and efficient, and kept me informed as they were d*** the work.  In the first job where we needed new plumbing for the washer including a drain in the basement, Clinton was able to hook into the basement bathroom drain which saved us a couple hundred dollars because he did not have to jackhammer the basement floor.  In the second job, where he was moving the gas and water lines, I asked his crew if they could run a gas line to the outside by my patio so we could hook up the grill.  They were very accommdating and charged me a minimal extra fee outside the original estimate. I would not hesitate to call Twaddle Plumbing again for any plumbing needs.  I highly recommend Twaddle Plumbing if you are looking for someone who is honest, professional, friendly and fair in his prices.

"Phil was great, professional and reliable; provided his cell phone just in case any questions came up.  Also wanted to make sure he understood the job so came back for second visit to ensure alignment.  Great customer service and quality of work, no need to look further.  No pressure sales pitch and understood what we wanted and injected opinion based on experience.  Job well done.

UPDATE:  following the winter we turned on our sprinkler system and had a lead where the drainage pipe goes, after removing the rocks I noticed that the sprinkler pipe was bent *probably to fit the drainage under the bent.  The bent was so bad that it disconnected that sprinkler pipe from main connection underground and had a hole due to the bend.  I am disappointed that not only this was not communicated during install but was not fixed *it is right above the drainage pipe covered by gravel was installed and the soil that was put back on the side of the house is higher then the "normal" ground."

"Did a great job! One break was outside and they had to dig up the yard to get to the sewer line. Repaired with new section with clean outs. Removed all the tree roots in the rest of the line and made sure everything was okay. Had to jack hammer a hole in the basement floor to fix the other break. Had to use a t connection as there was another line running into the main. Fixed the sewer pipe and filled the hole with gravel and then topped off with concrete to repair the hole. Did a great job. Very pleased!

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Sciota, IL

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.
