"Jonathan and Taylor showed up as scheduled and were quickly at work fixing the foundation issues at hand. Polite and knowledgeable, they answered every question we had about the process. The job took two full days and they both worked late into the day to make sure the job was complete. Upon completion of the job, they texted pictures of their work to my phone so I could see what was done. They even went above the call, and took a picture of a small leak from my AC unit that I would not have known about! I definitely would recommend Alpha Foundations to anyone having issues with their home foundation!"

"Contractor was over 2 hours late starting every day (momma needed her coffee), was not properly equipped (We provided wheelbarrow, post hole digger, shovel, loppers, garden rake, etc.). Contractor's labor was a 70 +/- small man and the owner's wife (who did NOT want to do this type of work and let it be known). The contractor also damaged the owners septic tank by positioning his tractor on top of the septic tank and causing 2/3 of the septic tank lid (along with the covering dirt to collapse into the tank The contractor was shown the septic system before quoting the work and warned to avoid the septic before starting work. The replacement lids sections cost the owner $1,200.00. When the county inspector inspects the system, it will require replacement of the entire system at a cost of over $15.000.00. The contractor also drove his tractor into the neighbors yard causing several deep impressions in their yard and damaging their septic system. Due to the late start each day, lack of equipment and inadequate labor, many shortcuts were taken. The plants were simply thrown in a hole without the soil being compacted around the roots. Only about half of the dirt was spread with many piles of dirt not spread and left piled all over the yard. The contractor left the job site after dark on 10-15-2024 and promised to return the following week to complete the work. Which he did not do. The following week was the same result He has not returned and after many calls, I ask him not to return. We have replaced 4 of the new shrubs (Costing about $60) which have died in spite of frequent watering As per Angi's List, the contractor is licensed and insured and was rated 5 Star on Angi's List. I have repeatedly tried to obtain insurance information from both the contractor and Angi's List without success."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Tallahassee, FL
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.
