"We bought a new home with water issues. I called multiple foundation companies to get a french drain with sump pump installed under our home. We had huge storms coming and the last one left standing water under the house with support piers sinking. We had several cracks form in the drywall, popping and creaking in the floors. Corey McGlothlan came out and looked the situation over. He and I were at the house and my wife was on the phone discussing the situation. We knew we needed to do something with storms coming but received alot of pressure from Corey to make an expensive decision. He did an 18 month no interest approval. He said we needed the french drain with a sump pump and the piers shimmed under the home. He also said their work came with a lifetime warranty and would cover further foundation damage repairs. We did agree to have them do the job as they could be out early the next week. I wanted a copy of the contract to read but he told me I would get it by email in a few days. All we had was a link to the finance company. The french drain system was installed. We had one heck of a storm come thru and it did keep the water pumped out. However, The water barrier was nasty, muddy, and not reinstalled at all properly. I called and got a help desk. They had Adam from the Lavergne office contact me. They came back out and reinstalled my vapor barrier correctly and cleaned up under the house a bit. My house was 10 months old at the time. I also had excavation work building a burn in front of the home and drainage to divert the water from the house. My issue: I have called Corey and Adam multiple times to get the shims installed, like over 20. I have tried the help desk but they cannot get me anyone from management. I cannot get them to come and finish the job. I have been forced to post this and am filing a claim with the BBB. Beware of AFS."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Regrading around your home’s foundation requires you to stay 4 inches below the top of the foundation and 4 inches below the bottom of the siding. Too high and heavy rain will make its way into your home; too low, and you may experience an increase in critters and pests.

Trench drains have a bit of a reputation as being difficult to clean, so if there’s a massive rainstorm that leads to a lot of debris and gunk getting stuck in the drain, you’ll spend extra time cleaning it out. Plus, you definitely need to regularly clean the drain, heavy rainstorms or not, to keep it in good condition, adding an extra step to your cleaning to-do list.

The process is different for each type of drainage system. But no matter your drainage system type, you’ll have to start by digging a hole or trench. To install an effective French drain, for example, you’ll need to dig a trench, line it with filter fabric, pour gravel inside, hook up pipe connections, set the pipe, and cover it with gravel.

You can use shovels or rent a trencher, depending on the size of the trench or hole you’re digging. You generally don’t need a permit from the city to install a drainage system on your own property, but if the work involves changing a structure or electrical work, contact your municipality to check the requirements.

If you are dealing with shallow water issues, a French drain may be used with rocks and no pipe. However, for areas that experience large amounts of water or heavy rainfall, you should use a corrugated or PVC pipe in the French drain. The pipe helps redirect and distribute the water effectively to another area, which can help prevent pooling water in your lawn and around your home.

Yes, window wells should be filled with at least 12 inches of clean, coarse gravel. Gravel helps the water naturally drain into the earth below. Maintain the gravel over time; if it becomes contacted or mixed with soil, it can more easily clog and cause flooding issues.
