"BEWARE! Research before hiring, run by Mike (aka Elizabeth Lisa) Solimini—a master manipulator. Mike's superpower is lying. My 79-yo mother hired via Angi.com to fix falling block ceiling in ~200 sq ft cramped area. Day 1: $6,500 proposal for removal, drywall, new lighting; signed/paid full. Day 2: Mike claimed roof needed $10,500 ("fix leak / all drip edge"); signed/paid. Day 4: Kids fully realized issue, stopped payment on $17k checks, halted work, offered fair pay for verified efforts Mike insisted roof completed during night (38°F, steep slope). No ladders/workers seen, no sounds heard. Sent wrong property photos, no receipts for materials. Roofer w/ 27 years experience confirmed no work done. Attaching photo of drip edge Mike claimed to have repaired. OUTRIGHT FRAUD; Mike acts as victim over stopped checks (issued in good faith), threatened to put Mom in handcuffs/jail for "bad checks." Finalized by agreeing to a smaller amount for ceiling work paid via cashier's check."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

You should always cover a French drain with gravel rather than dirt. Gravel will let water seep into the drain more easily, which means the drainpipe will collect more water and divert it away from your foundation. Dirt over a French drain will also clog the pores in the drainpipe over time, rendering your drainage system useless until you excavate the line and clear it, a time-consuming and potentially expensive process.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.

The best place to install a drainage channel is at the end of a slope where the most amount of surface water collects on your property. Then, you will want to redirect that water through pipes until it is safely away from the perimeter of your home. Keep in mind, some homeowners will install channel drains as an alternative gutter system. You'll want to install these drains wherever water cascades off your roof to protect the ground from erosion.

If you are looking for a culvert alternative, a bridge is another option. Either way, building a bridge or culvert should be done by a professional since improper installation can lead to dangerous washouts and collapses.

The need for permits in drainage improvement projects depends on your location and the extent of the project. Generally, projects involving significant excavation, alterations to existing drainage systems, or those impacting public drainage systems may require permits. Check with your local building department or authorities to determine the specific permit requirements in your area before starting any drainage improvement work to ensure compliance with local regulations.
