"I would highly suggest STAYING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! They booked a house of mine on Airbnb and smoked in it knowing it was a non smoking house and damaged my driveway and didn?t even attempt to fix it after confronting them them about the issues no response if they are willing to treat someone?s home in that manner I can?t imagine the corners they cut and how bad the quality of work they do is ? and you can obviously see how they handle problems when there is a issue by not responding!!!"

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"TERRIBLE. RIPPED OFF !! Was supposed to replace all rotted wood, and raise all floors to level. The work will likely not pass code and they did not pull permits."

"The work crew's foreman Aaron was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. His crewmembers Rusty, Otis, and Dizzy, all worked very hard and efficiently 2 remove the old and unnecessary insulation and Black netting that was causing moisture build up in my crawlspace. They removed all the debris, cleaned up the work area, and left my crawlspace looking beautiful , and moisture free! I would highly recommend '58 Foundation! Their prices also beat their competitors by thousands of dollars! I am very satisfied with the work ethic of this Company!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Shelby, NC

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.
