"Lyle was extremely helpful and professional in working with me to confirm exactly what I wanted when we initially met to get a bid. After a two week delay due to adverse weather, Lyle showed up with Fabian, his foreman. and we reviewed the scope of work one last time. The project took a full two days using Fabian and two co-workers. The crew was quiet, professional, flexible, and friendly. They even were able to work around six large hosta plants when installing new dirt, fabric liner, and 2.5 inch trap rock along north facing portion of house. Additionally, pavers were installed as edging. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the final work product. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone having a landscaping project they wanted done professionally and efficiently. Kudos to Lyle and Fabian and his crew,"

"Nate (salesman) took all of the time required to answer our questions and develop a plan to deal with the high water table issues. The installation crew communicated with us throughout the installation of the interior drainage system and sump pumps and Dave (Service Tech) went above and beyond to finish the triple safe sump system installation and tweak other elements of the initial installation. All worked to leave the basement as clean as this process could allow."

"I had a wet basement that had been a problem in my home for years before purchase of my home. The placement of a Sump pump and floor drain tile appears to stop wet foundation walls and floor. The basement now has potential to be nice area of use and living for years ahead. The service is a expensive purchase for homeowner but it is a needed purchase for my home. The finishing job leaves the need with more work if your basement floor was rough from the years of water damage. They did stop any future water damage for my home and it is safe to spend more for more fine finishing. They completed what was contracted."

"Have never left a review before, and these guys more than deserve it. Merilee and Chad were responsive, down to earth and did a great job; customer service was exceptional. We had water in our basement and they installed a drainage system for our down spouts and sump pump, as well as installed drain tile on the exterior of our home. Basement is completely dry and has been since. I highly recommend their service and will forever be thankful."

"We called Diversified Water to begin our project in October. We wanted a specific window, that Jack ordered through a local hardware store. They arrived to do the work November 26th, due to delays in the window order. I inspected the window before they were ready to install it and noticed it was the incorrect window. Jack reordered the window at the hardware store's expense, due to their error. The remainder of the work was complete January 23. The plastic window well cover was delivered February 2nd. The photo we were shown of the window well appears white in color and the well installed is a tan color. This was not a quick project, due to the hardware store and window manufacturer. Diversified Water completed the project as they stated and for the cost quoted. We do not have any other windows needing egress windows."

"I noticed a leak in the basement late on a Sunday night. I did my own efforts to stop the leak and trouble shoot the general location to a pipe running to the 2nd floor. Not something I wanted to tackle on my own. I called Monday morning, described the issue, and waited for a call back. Someone returned my call shortly thereafter and asked what my availability was and the would check to see who was available and when. I did indicate that this was not an emergency, but fixing it sooner than later was desired. A couple hours later, someone called and said they could be at my place in about 15mins. I was able to meet them. They were prompt and friendly. They assessed the situation with me and presented a plan. Give that the pipe was in a wall and unknown location, they began selective demo, but smartly. We ended up with two modest openings in the ceiling and wall and located the leak on the first try. This was good, because I had expected to take down much more of the wall. Leak identified, they proceeded to remove the offending piece of pipe and install a new run (pex) from the basement to the 2nd floor. They cleaned up everything and were very efficient with their time and materials. Now, I just need to patch the plaster walls and ceilings. Since the water was off and they were here, I had them replace a stuck house side main valve. The cost of this is included in the amount below and is about 20% of the total cost. The remainder was for the leaky pipe replacement."

"I have worked with many contractors and completed six figure remodels on homes in the past. Working with diversified drainage was a wonderful experience. Mitch and Doug are extremely competent, priced fairly and know how to handle storm and water drainage at residential and commerical properties. We now have state of the art drainage at our property and are very happy with the results. Their solutions are quality, work and they also stand behind their customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend working with them."

"We needed to put in an egress window in our basement and there are many reputable companies out there who can install egress windows. However, our basement already had existing wall anchor plates which significantly complicated the egress window install. Complete Basement Systems was the only company willing to take on the project and had experience with such systems. The solution was to remove the wall anchor plates, replace them with wall braces, and install the egress window. Cody and his crew called 1 week ahead of time to verify install details and allowed me to ask questions on how I could prep the area for their work. They set the schedule to arrive at 9:00 AM on day 1 to perform the work, which they arrived on-time and promptly began work. The day they performed the work, unfortunately, happened to also be the hottest day of the year. Cody and his crew work without one single complaint, they worked through lunch without a break, remained professional and positive. Given the extent of the work that needed to be done, they needed to return the following day to complete the install of the window. Cody and his crew worked incredibly hard, were professional, and the quality of their work was excellent. I would not hesitate to hire Complete Basement Systems again for any future work we would need to be done in our basement and would highly recommend them to anyone considering basement improvements/repairs/remodels."

"Excellent service from this company. The plumber I called does not snake out main sewer lines. He did, however, recommend that I call D.C. Annis for the best job at the best price. When I made the appointment, I was told up front what the charges would be. Rob showed up on time and was both personable and knowledgeable. He got right to work, solved our problem, and explained the issues clearly when he was done. I hope I will not need to have the main snaked again, but If I do, I will call D.C. Annis"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Waite Park, MN

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.
