"Several years ago we had tree roots that were growing into and blocking our drainage lines beneath our basement floor perimeter. We called EverDry and they promptly sent our a representative who laid out a clear plan with cost. It was during the colder weather and he gave us a better price to keep his men busy. They worked efficiently and dug out around the exterior and tarred the walls. Inside, they broke through the floor around the perimeter to lay new lines and moved the sump pump to a further corner of the basement and neatly covered the old hole. It was a messy job that my wife and I feared would never get cleaned up. How wrong we were. They removed all of the concrete debris and when they were finished, our basement was as clean as it had been before the work started. Remarkable! We have continued our $25 a year to maintain our warranty and have made use of it (with no charge) on several occasions. We made a good deal. G.J. Bowling Green, OH 43402"

"Dave Pearson, Matt, & Jacy were prompt, friendly, respectful to us and our home, professional, and worked hard all day. They hauled out trash & muck from the crawlspace, leveled it, did mold abatement, installed two new sump pumps, dug new drainage inside and outside, insulated the foundation walls, installed a permanent dehumidifier, and encapsulated the entire crawl space. They cleaned up the mess at the end of each work day without prompt. We enjoyed having this work crew in our home and would request the same crew if further services are needed."

"Brent from JRB Foundation Repair (the waterproofing company) had his crew at my house right on time. They worked all day and finished the project. Brent went out of his way for me and did a few other necessary things for the project at the expense of his own time. The price quoted was fair and all inclusive. I would recommend using JRB for all of your basement waterproofing needs! I am impressed by the workmanship and Brent's trustworthiness won me over completely!"

"This is the closest category I could find for what I had done and know that they do this type of work. I hired this company to install a french drain in the back of my yard. There is a hill behind me and the grade from the house made the water collect in a swamp with nowhere to go. They did a great job of trenching out the entire width of that area, added perforated pipe with a filter cloth and gravel, then replacing the topsoil. They put a well with a sump pump at the end and tubing to pump the water out to the front of the house so it would go into the drainage system. Mike Jr., Brandon Powers, Eric Lawhon and Mike Houtchins were the team of workers and did a great job cleaning up afterwards also. It was a pretty large project but it only took them two days to complete. I am very happy with the results and highly recommend them."

"Once the new line was installed I noticed a few issues with the drainage flow.  I emailed Bob Ewing (the owner) regarding the issues I was having.  He was very cooperative and understanding and told me they would "do whatever it took" to correct the situation.  After scheduling them to come look at the job they completely re-worked the line to flow properly.  I was very impressed with the integrity of the company as a whole.  They acknowledged the error and corrected it at absolutely no cost to me and actually improved the system so it worked even better than initially planned.
The crew that came out was professional and courteous.  They removed their shoes before entering the house and cleaned up everything after they were done.   Dirt was raked and mounded and everything was cleaned up before they left.  The backhoe operator was quick and accurate and the other employee's were energetic and worked hard to get the job done quick and accurate.  I was quite impressed with this crew.
I would highly recommend E&K for your excavation and sewer line repairs.  If you want a company that will stand behind it's work and believes in customer satisfaction you have the right contractor.  I personally put more emphasis on companies that will "do whatever it takes" to make a customer happy and do the job right than companies that undercut their competitors but don't stand behind there work.  I also like to deal with companies that will respond in a timely manner when called or emailed after there are issues and not just when selling a job.  Bob always replied to my emails within one work day.  This says a lot about their commitment to their customers.
I can't say enough about Bob, his integrity and his commitment to satisfy his customers needs...

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Wauseon, OH

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.
