"Samuel is my go-to call for all plumbing-related projects, small and large. He's supremely professional in his approach, and is sure to communicate all costs, timelines and potential issues that may arise during a project. When he's had to bring in a team for drywall, painting, etc... they've all been extremely competent, as well. Strong recommendation."

"We scheduled an appointment with Johns Plumbing to get an estimate for a couple of non-emmergency issues including water heater replacement and faucet installation. Price was fair and we decided to go with them. Plumbers were working fast, and they completed all the work within one day. I would recommend Johns Plumbing to everyone."

Customers say: Quick response

"I stared to look for a plumber after I found water under my water heater. I jumped on Angi and posted my issue. With in minutes....Art messaged me and said he can be her 1st thing in the morning. BTW. This was 10pm at night. His quick response was a plus for me. I had one other respond but he over extended himself to my need. He came at 7amd and said....you need a new water heater. I can got get one and install it now. I was a bit reluctant and he said call me when your ready and left. My wife said his prices looked fair and he seemed like a good plumber. I called him back and said lets dance. He was back at my home in a hour and 1/2...and started the work. He protected my carpet and placed plastic on it. He warned my that maybe the cost might go up due to the age of the pipes and valves. He had the old one out and the new one in an an hour or so. He was quick, clean and polite. I paid him and shuck his hand. I recommend Art for your household plumbing needs. He was excellent."

"My experience with Marc at Make it Drain was fantastic. We had a problem with leakage under the house that we thought was fixed when we bought the place. Turns out two years later that something wasn't done right and we had wastewater accumulating from the kitchen. Marc from Make it Drain came out on short notice on the weekend to look at the job, and he gave me a great estimate, educated me about the issues, talked me through the process, and had a friendly but no-pressure approach. I had several other companies out to make estimates, and one of the estimates was three times what Marc quoted me!! When we arranged the job it was easy, and Marc and his guys showed up on time, did exactly what he said he'd do, kept everything super clean, took pictures to show me what was going on, and continued to keep me looped in so I understood everything. It was a painless process, done quickly and professionally. I will call them anytime I have plumbing needs!"

"Today, I got Jaime here from this company very nervous about a second opinion and what I was going to deal with. He saw a "clean out" behind my washer, and after explaining everything snaked this and got out "sludge." That's it!!!! He left my house and everything drained. He was professional, friendly, efficient, and kind and this cost me $84! I will not ever call another plumber again. I am going back to American Home Shield to ask for a refund on the previous service. I can't believe how thankful I am to have had this service today - honest, reliable, affordable......I am beside myself. Thank you Jaime and LA Hydro-Jet & Rooter Service, Inc.!!!!!!"

"This company is amazing. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and goes beyond to help a client out. They use trenchless pipe installation technology that saves a lot of money. They installed a 70 foot sewer pipe at my place and left the place spotless. They got all the permits and passed all inspections with positive comments from inspector. I can't imagine using anyone else in the future and strongly recommend this to everyone who needs pipe work done. Simply the best and price flexible. They even have 0% apr financing if needed."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Topanga, CA

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.
