"I’m devoting the time to write this positive review because of Jordan Pankey and the AFS crew that took care of my family’s crawlspace water issues. We purchased a new home in 2022 and learned after living here for 6 months that we had significant (over 2’ of standing water) water issues in our crawlspace. You can see the videos of the water we found in Feb. The home was covered under a builder’s warranty; thus, we gave them first opportunity to fix the issue. No luck! After living through several failed attempts and continuing to see my crawlspace flood, I couldn’t take it anymore and asked to bring in a professional. As someone who was ignorant to water issues, I brought four waterproofing companies to my home to give me an assessment and quote. All four had a great reputation, online reviews, and overall I felt any one of the four could have improved my water problem from where I was at. I went with AFS for the following reasons: • Jordan Pankey: He was hands down the most professional, knowledgeable, and responsive sales representative that I worked with. I’m a very detailed oriented person and regularly had questions pop up in my head. Throughout the day/week/weekend, I would text or call Jordan and he would answer. In a world where it seems you have to chase contractors for help, I couldn’t have been more impressed with Jordan. • Lifetime warranty for the structure of the home: In my case, my home will always have to combat water and it was important to me to pick a solution that offered a lifetime warranty for the structure of the home – not one that says “lifetime” but the fineprint defines it as 25 years. Someday when I’m gone, whether it is my kids or a complete stranger living in this home, I’m pleased to know their water issues will be taken care of. • Reputation/Credibility: AFS’ Google reviews, A+ BBB rating, and past awards (e.g., Angi 2022 Super Service Award) are all indicators of a company who consistently performs at a high level with a high degree of customer satisfaction. With as big of a job a full French drain and encapsulation was going to be, I wasn’t interested in rolling the dice with a smaller, new company. • Quality of the material: AFS’ recommended parts and supplies were exponentially greater than their competition. For example, the encapsulation thickness was 120 mil when most of their competitors are 1/6th of that. Why? The thicker encapsulation not only prevents rips and tears from occurring, but it also helps provide a control environment for the humidity and temperature to be controlled. Both of these help with the comfort of the home upstairs; energy saving. • Fairly Priced: With the aforementioned accolades and quality of material, I was pleasantly surprised that AFS wasn’t the most expensive solution I got an offer on. They were in the middle and fairly priced. To the onsite crew DJ, Cyrus, Nick, and Aaron – Thank you. Over the two days, this AFS crew was at my house and finished the French drain and full encapsulation. Both days they busted their butt and didn’t leave without being sweaty and dirty from head to toe. This is hard work, and I greatly appreciate the time and attention you spent to take care of our home. My family can now rest at night and enjoy hearing the rain drops on our roof and not worry about flooding."

"The drain has worked thus far but the first large rain washed the plastic grate away but was recovered. I am disappointed in the quality of the seeding and straw cover as being inadequate as there was a lot of mud left after the driveway powerwash part of the job and I purchased additional seed and straw to complete the cover up. I am concerned my original grass may have been destroyed by the grader and may have to hire a landscaper in the Spring to fix the problem. But, the drain seems to be working as most of the water problem during the past two large rainfalls appears to have been greatly reduced. Thanks."

French Drains FAQs, answered by experts

If you're dealing with a clogged sink drain, you may be able to avoid removing the drain by using a plunger to dislodge the clog. While we associate plungers with toilets, they can do the same job with your sink drain. Be gentle, though, as forceful movements can push clogs further into your plumbing system and make them more difficult to remove. Additionally, make sure you’re using a sink plunger—with a flat bottom—and not a toilet plunger—which has a smaller bottom protruding from the larger flat piece.

Simple blockages can be cleared using household plungers or manual snakes, provided no severe plumbing issues exist.

Anything from debris, rust, ice, and even poor installation can cause clogs in your plumbing vents. Some signs of a clog include slow drains, gurgling sounds in drains and toilets, and bad odors. The bad odors are the most concerning, as these can include methane and hydrogen sulfide. Contact a plumber to come take a look if you notice any of these signs.

Pouring drain cleaner down a vent pipe isn’t recommended. First of all, unlike a clog in a sink or bath caused by such material as soap scum build-up, toothpaste, and hair, clogs in a vent pipe are likely the result of debris from trees or even an animal stuck in the pipe. Drain cleaners won’t be able to eat through this kind of material. The cleaner will only become clogged in the vent with the debris, causing even more problems.

Unlike regular cleanings, snaking your sewer line should be done as needed. There’s no reason to snake your sewer line if you don’t have any noticeable issues, like slow drainage or plugged drains. You can add it to your regular sewer cleaning checklist as a prevention method (on the same 18- to 22-month schedule), but it’s not always necessary.
