"We’ve had a lot of crews in our home for various projects over the years, and I have to say this was one of the most courteous. They worked hard, navigating through our kitchen to access the basement and I really appreciated their efforts. Thank you MTU, we now have safe walls in our cellar and fresh beams to keep the house standing ;)"

Customers say: Quality work

"Matt did such a great job of tearing down and removing my dilapidated garage - he handled everything from getting the permit, arranging for asbestos testing, getting the electrical located and delivery of the dumpsters. He was careful to not damage any existing fences, and when he left, the area had been raked clean and there wasn’t a trace of the old building left behind. I would absolutely hire him again. Very professional, easy to work with, and kind. "

"The good parts: I was recommended their services by a plumber. I called at around 9 AM and they sent someone out to be here before 11. They were on-time and very punctual. Gabe, who came out, was good at what he does. The blockage was removed partially, and some foaming root treatment chemical was applied to take care of the roots. The not so good: We found that Gabe would have to pump out the water in the pipes before he can look at where the clog is. The charge for pumping the water out using a vacuum and buckets, in our basement, was $150 an hour. I called the boss to find out if we could do a lower rate for this, since I've never had a plumber or anyone charge this high. The answer was to take it at the price or they will go elsewhere to fix someone else's problem. I found that very unnecessarily unprofessional. The charge for jetting was $295 an hour, and even if they don't jet for an hour, you have to pay $295. I knew they charge $295 before they came on site, so I was prepared for it, but this doesn't include the cost of *anything else* apparently. Knowing that, I'd expect that price to be pro-rated, which it isn't. Since the blockage was close to the house, Gabe couldn't jet it freely, for fear of flooding the basement. I figure we must have used the jet for a total of 15-20 mins on and off. He ended up using a root removal chemical, and the charge for that was steep as well. The pricing isn't fair."

"I had Premier Basement come out to encapsulate my crawlspace. I have seen their work before since my parents used their services for the exact same reason. I wanted a warmer floor which required something to be done with the crawlspace under my house. Scheduling was easy, Steve came out and inspected the space and we walked through what would need to be done. I filled out the required paperwork and away we went. We had to reschedule a few times but communication was always open. The gals in the office are on the ball. Art and his coworker (forgot his name) came out and got the job done in a day. They did have to come back another day because one of the vent covers broke and they had no spares in the truck. Not a big deal, we scheduled it and got it on in about a 2 week time frame. I am very happy with the work. I guess they actually do egress windows, which I will be calling them to do as soon as we move forward with finishing our basement."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Spokane, WA

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.
