Leboeuf Home Improvements, LLC is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business

"We hired Leboeuf Home Improvements to install LVP flooring to cover a large section of our home. They did an absolutely fantastic job, and we love the look of our new floors. They communicated well, were flexible in scheduling, fair in pricing, and were quick to install. During the initial consult and estimate process, they explained every step, possible challenges, and took the time and patience to offer multiple options and pricing for each option. They also suggested possible additions to the job without feeling like they were trying to push extras onto me, but because they thought it would be good for my home. Above all, they were friendly and easy to talk to. Our floor was in rough condition due to poor maintenance and pet damage, and there was no sense of judgement from them about this. The whole process felt like us vs. the challenges of the project, not just them. If there was some way for me to give 6 stars I would. I have never been more happy with a professional."

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

Linear drainage systems are popular for patios thanks to their straightforward installation and reliable performance. Often used along the edges of brick, concrete, or paver patios, these extended, narrow drains effectively capture and channel surface water away. Gully drains come in various shapes and serve a similar purpose by collecting runoff and directing it into the central drainage system to prevent water buildup.

You need gravel underneath a French drain pipe so that it allows the water to seep through the ground and be taken away from the slope of the drain. You should use river rock or granite chips in your French drain installation to accommodate maximum drainage and prevent clogging in the system.

The four most common types of stormwater drainage systems are ditches, catch basins, french drains, and slot drains. Ditches are open trenches designed to reroute stormwater off your property. Catch basins are connected to your local sewage system. French drains are great for keeping water out of your foundation, and slot drains are low-capacity drain systems that work best with light storms.

Crawl space foundation problems can stem from a few different issues, but the most common are moisture and water problems and soil instability. Moisture and water issues are often a result of poor drainage, which can lead to water intrusion and soil expansion and contraction, leaving your foundation under added stress. A few things can cause soil instability, including poor drainage, karst landscapes and resulting sinkholes, and poorly compacted soil during construction.

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.
