"The team that came and did the work were fantastic, in spite of, the lady in the office, very nice, the rest, management etc terrible. I was quoted a job that I really did not need, the worked was not presented to the team that did the work correctly. The install equipment the install team had to use was trash, their truck was barely running, they were not supplied the correct piping for the job, no support by management while on the job. I would not recommend them to anyone. Do not use."

"I had Lux come out to do foundation work on our home, as well as exterior waterproofing. It was a large job, and as a first-time homeowner, I didn’t know what to expect. Miguel and his team were efficient and did a great job. They communicated very well, which I really appreciated, and the job was completed in about a week. They ran into a small snag during the work, but were able to locate the issue and fix it quickly. They were very flexible and understanding, even after the job when I had a few follow-up questions. I would definitely use them again!"

"We are beyond thrilled with the incredible work Patrick and his team did on our patio and retaining wall. From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. Our project faced some real challenges, including severe weather and even a snowstorm, but Patrick handled everything with strategic planning and constant communication. He always had a clear plan for when work could safely resume and how to stay on track. His professionalism and organization truly set him apart. Patrick and his crew were patient, hardworking, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer our questions and made sure we were completely happy with every detail before wrapping up. Their attention to quality and craftsmanship shows in the final result — our patio is absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. We especially appreciate that Patrick offers a seven-year warranty and requires no upfront deposit. That level of confidence and integrity s"

"Very sloppy and unprofessional work. Now, my driveway and sidewalk are lopsided, he put a large crack in my porch, uneven lines in sidewalk, sloppy patch work. Needless to say, I have to have all new cement work done because this foam stuff can't be corrected. My technician was not skilled at doing this work and the manager is trying to justify this mess!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Woodbridge, VA

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.
