"Please be advised that this company is very friendly but will require a lot of your time and advocate for services that you do not want. We requested a quote and installation of a crawl space door system. A friendly rep spent 4 hours inspecting and discussing a range of solutions. When we requested installation of just the door system, they refused the service without additional thousands of dollars."

"We just cannot say enough about the excellent customer service provided by Joe and his staff. We contacted him last fall - desperate to resolve a major drainage issue at our home. All dealings were professional, efficient and caring. When we encountered an additional glitch this spring, Joe worked tirelessly with us to come up with further measures to resolve the issue. We would highly recommend their service - and feel completely confident that JB Lawn Sprinklers does not just “finish a job”, i.e. they are completely available to make sure that things are done right - for the long term. Thank you!"

"This company really came through for me when I was in a pinch. The 15 year-old electric Ruud water heater in my garage was leaking and needed changing out. I did some online research and decided on the exact replacement model (a 40gal Rheem). The problem was I couldn’t find any installer who could meet my tight schedule. At that time, I was taking care of my elderly parents at their home during the daytime so my schedule was not very flexible. After unsuccessfully trying to schedule the installation through one of the big home maintenance stores, I found Drain Pro’s on Angie’s List and contacted them. I told them the info for the new heater and we agreed on an install time (9:30AM on 2/12/2015). On the agreed to date/time, they showed up exactly on time with the new water heater. After removing the old heater, they installed the new heater along with a new “expansion tank” (see picture). Within 2 hours after their arrival everything was installed and working. I am extremely satisfied with the installation and would recommend them to anyone needing an electric water heater installed. I give them the highest ratings for everything (price, punctuality, etc.)."

"They arrived onto time Monday, June 18th to start work and were completed within the 3 days they estimated.  They had all of their equipment and supplies with them and were ready to begin work.  This company did a really great job fixing the foundation of our home. We have before and after photos to show the damage that needed repair and of the repairs that were made. The crew was very effecient with all their work and also cleaning up afterwards. We would defiently call them back for any other services we required in his field and would recommend him to our family & friends."

"I called them on a Thursday I believe, early afternoon, they answered after a couple rings. I asked how much it would cost for them to come out and it was VERY reasonable, and they said they could make it out to my house later that evening and gave me a small time frame. They came, told me what was wrong (it was an easy fix) and how much it would be to fix it. They were here maybe a total of a half hour. They were very nice, clean and polite. They also have like a one year warranty on the part they fixed for me so thats awesome.  It was my first time needing a plumber so I was a little nervous on picking just the right one, and I believe I did pick the right now. They were just great. I'll definitely use them again. "

"We had our kitchen sink and kitchen faucet replaced. Benjaman Franklin appointment was quick to setup. The tech arrived on time and provided an estimate which was fair and accurate. The technician Matt was excellent. He protected the work area with a waterproof tarp and absorption pads before he began any work, he also had drain buckets to catch water as he removed the drain. His detail to completing this installation was well planned and no time was wasted. His skill and attention to detail provided a superior installation. I highly recommend Ben Franklin and Matt for your plumbing needs "

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Sneads Ferry, 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.
