"Had a new drainage system installed around the perimeter of my basement and the vapor barrier installed on my walls. When I called to set up the estimate, it was quick and painless. The representative showed up on time and was up front about the solutions for my basement. The pricing came in around the same as another company but I liked Stay Dry's plan a little more. The guys showed up on time the day of installation. They did a great job. They were professional and the completed work looks good. I have high hopes that everything was installed correctly and Iâ ll have a basement safe from any issues for years to come."

"Everdry showed up when expected and completed the job within the time quoted to us. The men were all very polite, respectful, and professional. It was worth every penny we spent on having the complete system installed to have a dry basement! Everdry completed our job in February 2014 and our basement hasn’t had a single leak since. We feel that our home is safer and healthier. We would not hesitate to recommend Everdry to anyone."

"Overall, we are not convinced that this installation was worth the cost or disruption and the experience did not meet the expectations we had based on our conversations with the sales rep. While an interior waterproofing system made a lot of sense to address our issues, once work started, it was clear that our house already had an underdrain system in place, but the crew continued demolition and installation. As part of the work, Stay Dry required replacement of our one-year-old sump pump (and battery backup) with their system and charged extra for the battery backup. The crew worked quickly, but caused some unnecessary damage to our finished basement walls and the concrete finish was less smooth than expected. The third star is provided for the follow-up visit by their customer service team to clean up some of those shortcomings."

"Iran H, Chris M and Floyd C were the service people from Ohio Basement Authority who repaired a leaning concrete block foundation wall in the basement and installed a sump pump. They did excellent, considerate work and I would recommend them for a similar project."

"Andrew and his crew were very professional, came out and got to work immediately. I saw immediate results before they even completed the project. Would definitely recommend him for all things excavating, drainage (french drain &, sump pit installation) and landscaping issues."

"Contacted Greg about leak in washer faucets after having new washer installed. Greg walked me through the issue and I texted pictures of the washer box. Greg knew what needed to be replaced. Jeremy and Andrew arrived and replaced the whole washer box in no time. We highly recommend them and will be calling them again for any of our plumbing issues."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Waynesville, 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.
