"technician thoroughly checked upstairs (kitchen, laundry, main floor and upstairs bathrooms) for a leak in a finished basement and determined there was no leak--it was probably ground water from a disconnected downspout. So, he promised a free return within 30 days if we need a further look to punch a hole in the basement drywall. $129"

"In addition to the gutter guards which were installed and the downspouts buried, Thrasher also changed out a misfitting basement window well and cover, and installed a Sadona dehumidifying system. Jonah and his crew of Corrin and Luis were excellent at the work they did. I was called before they arrived, to ensure I was ready for them to start work, and Jonah went over the work with me prior to starting, to confirm what was to be done. Completely professional. After it was completed, we inspected it together and everything was perfect. I will worry less next time it rains! I will definitely recommend Thrasher if anyone I know needs work done."

"This service was done at my father's house in IL. The crew was very professional. We did have to have them come back out and remove the plates on basement walls so the STL Crack Team could seal the wall cracks."

"We thought we had a sinkhole but Corbin determined it was a huge, old septic tank! In one day it was fixed. He communicated well and tried hard to repair grass spots that equipment dug into as well as smoothing out the fill dirt. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire again."

"Nicholas and Daniel checked things over, decided that the disposal was a goner. (It hadn't worked for years.) I had to agree with their judgment. We discussed a new one and installation (I have installed the things, but had no desire to this time); and possible necessity for further de-plugging of the drain. I agreed; they got to work; and were finished in no time. The disposal works; the water drains; and their clean up was excellent. They were relaxed, friendly, and very competent. I should have called months ago, and certainly plan to use the company any time that I need plumbing service. My N/A rating for price is because I hadn't done comparison shopping and don't really know. Considering that it included both the garbage disposal and installation, it seemed fair to me."

"One sewer issue was outside. Plumber located the problem which was not a blockage per se but rather and offset connection between the city sewer line and the line exiting our home. This was corrected. Second sewer blockage identified by sewer inspection turned out to be a corroded pipe on a lateral feeding into the main sewer line. This was indoors and required breaking out concrete to get to the repair. The plumbers were just as surprised as I was to find the specific corrosion and its location. Once identified, they were able to install new PVC pipe. The third item was a rusted hot water heater. They told me they had a flat rate of replacing these units. All billing was as I had expected. They arrived the same morning I notified them of the problem and installed a new water heater. Overall satisfied, and I would use them again if my primary plumber (one of their cousins) was not available. (Their cousin had referred me to them.)"

"We used the services of Chavez Restoration & Cleaning for cleaning carpet in our basement and they were very very good, very positive. The basement was flooded and the sump pump did not work nor did the backup for that matter. They came in here to assess what they were dealing with. (inaudible at 00:01:32) is some of it is carpet and they lifted up all of the carpet and they put fans under it. They dried everything out in three rooms down there, two bedrooms and a restroom and they lifted things off the floor that were little rusted and they put everything back exactly like they were supposed to. They were excellent to be honest. They had everything complete. They did not go halfway. We had some comforters down there and there were some sort of lot of stuff that were expensive. They got all of those things completely dry-cleaned and dried out as good as new. I never thought that. They knew exactly what they were doing. They knew exactly where the water was and where the water was not. It was not flooded like inches thick. It was just enough to (inaudible at 00:02:45) everything."

"<p>Randy and his brother did a great job and were very responsive to my calls. We bought the first toilet and they installed that one then a week later Randy saw that they were on sale contacted me to let me know so I decided to get the other one replaced the other one as and ended up getting money back on the first one. Randy does a great job of explaining all that he is going to do and did so as well through out the install. Randy helped me pick out the toilets and then hauled them back to the house. My house was built back around 1965 and has pretty much all the original plumbing and Randy saw that we should replace the connections and valves to avoid any issues in the future if we need to shut the valves off. He is very good at explaining why something needs done but you do not feel pressured what so ever.  I am very happy with their work and have his number in my phone for any future work.</p> l <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Topeka, KS

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.
