"We were having a problem with ground water getting in under the slab that our house sits on. They installed drainage pipes and dug a gravel pit for the water to go into. They also installed a sump pump at the low spot in our garage."

"Called Hope Plumbing for a leaking sink that the technician (Jarrod) ruled was likely due to hard water buildup. I has assumed this and mentioned we were having an issue with our Softener backing up into the basement. Even though I didn't call them to work on the Softener Jarrod quickly determined a fix for the softener flooding our basement and said a simple Air Gap drain would help prevent it from backing up. He quickly put together a quote that was reasonably priced and within a few hours fixed an issue that had been plaguing us for months. The service was fantastic and I highly recommend joining their membership program for some great benefits!"

"I hired them to repair a crack in my basement wall that had a small leak. They were very professional. They filled the crack with foam injections and backed their work with a 5-year transferrable warranty. I had discussed this with other companies that wanted to charge me thousands of dollars and dig up my foundation for a little crack. These guys were good, quick, efficient and helpful. They gave me other tips for finishing my basement while they were there. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend them."

"Scott sealed the two settlement cracks in the walls of the basement and sealed one settlement crack in the rear of the home that was letting in water and also sealed a crack above the basement easement window. The settlement crack in the rear of the home was repaired on the outside because the basement is finished and we couldn't get to the crack from the inside without major reconstruction of the finished basement. We had more rain and all of the seals remained dry. We were very happy with the results and would definitely call again. Excellent job!"

"I reached out them about a year ago to look at my basement. I needed help with an old existing waterproof system a different company had installed and also to have someone look at the foundation. Marty informed us that our old waterproof system was an open system and that we might have radon coming through it. Sure enough he was correct! We hired a radon specialist and he was able to install a mitigation system. Marty also inspected our walls and advised that our foundation is fine and we did not need anything done at this time. Other companies tried to sell us $10k+ worth of work. I appreciate his honesty and not just trying to sell us something that we didn't need."

"I called Shannon to get a quote to replace my crawlspace vents which had been sealed up by a previous homeowner. He came out and gave me an estimate the next day. He explained everything very well and also looked at my crawlspace and made recommendations on what I could do to keep it dry down there. He ordered my vents and kept me updated on the status and when they came in he let me know and we scheduled the install day. He said he would be here at 8am to put them in and he literally pulled into the driveway at 8am on the dot. Install went as smoothly, vents look and function great. House is currently under contract and I plan on recommending him to the new buyers for any waterproofing needs that they may have or want as part of the transaction. Would definitely hire again in the future."

"I have nothing but great things to say about L.D. Smith Plumbing! After purchasing a new home, I was hit with unexpected sewer issues. Not only did they come out quickly to ***** the problem, the team was back out here the following day digging to replace my Main Sewer Line. Lance, Tim, and Phil made a horrible situation a little less painful. They were professional and dare I say...fun. Sometimes having random companies out to do work can be awkward but this team was not a typical service company. They were friendly, fair, and down to earth. They kept me informed in the process and the expected completion timeline. I would not hesitate to recommend them for your plumbing needs. Thanks to L.D. Smith for fixing my problem quickly!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Shelbyville, IN

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.
