**Buyer Beware: A Costly and Frustrating Experience**…read more I hired The French Drain Guys to resolve a serious drainage issue on one side of my home that was causing water intrusion during heavy rains and hurricanes. I made it very clear during the initial property survey that my goal was to prevent water from entering my home. The representative assured me that their proposed system--including catch basins and pumps--would solve the issue and came with a three-year warranty. We proceeded with the installation, spending nearly $7,000. Unfortunately, when the rainy season arrived, the system failed completely. Water continued to accumulate on the same side of the house, and once again, it entered our home. We contacted the company immediately and were promised callbacks that never came. After persistent follow-ups, the owner's brother finally came to inspect the system. He informed us that the installed setup was insufficient and lacked critical components like additional catch basins and a hydro seal. He also stated that the system isn't guaranteed unless the hydro seal is applied--something we were never told during the initial consultation. Now we're being quoted an additional $2,700 to upgrade the system to what should have been recommended from the start. We feel misled and disappointed by the poor inspection, lack of transparency, and ineffective solution. We'll be seeking another company to properly address our drainage needs.

Ben, Godfrey and the crew are absolutely amazing.. They gave me a quote for the install of french…read moredrains around the perimeter of my house. Their communication and punctuality throughout this process was remarkable. Even my neighbors were impressed. They walked me through the entire process regarding the protection of my home from all the water i was retaining, and came up with the best plan for me.. They even tested it before they were finished so I could see the water movement. I was so impressed! They were all an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend this company for your drainage/pump needs.. This company really values their work and they don't take short cuts!

This might be a little long, but, I wanted to make sure that I hit every thing I wanted too. I also…read morewanted to say that I am a widow, and I am a woman. As a woman and/or a widow, we are ALWAYS afraid of being taken advantage of because this kind of "stuff" is usually out of our realm and we feel uncomfortable making these kind of decisions. Feeling vulnerable for sure!! So THAT'S where I was at when I made my 1st call to schedule an estimate. Ryan Parker came out to do the estimate and he was AMAZING!!! Patient with all of my questions and repeating them when I asked again because I didn't understand. He would reword the answers so I could understand some things better as well. He made me feel comfortable and treated me like he would his own mother. Or at least I felt like that. He was there for about an hour and a half or so, measuring on the inside and outside and using tools on the outside as well. It was a full on inspection as to what was going on, and, in which part of the house. And for Free!! If I said, no thank you, still no cost. But I KNEW I had a serious problem, I just needed to understand exactly what is was, how to fix it and to feel like I was safe with whom I was trusting this with. Both structurally for my house and financially for me! And I did!!! It started with Ryan. Then on the day of installation of the piers (or beams as I call them- lol) Josh, Rickey and Antoine came out. They were equally amazing in making me feel comfortable in what was going on. They took me to the trailer that had all the equipment on it and showed me what they were and explained how they will be placed in the ground and then attached to the foundation. They let me take pictures of them when I asked and I even got to watch them put one in the ground. Made me feel like I was part of the process and not just the "payer". It helped me understand a lot better of what Ryan was saying during the initial visit. I found it all intriguing. Josh, Rickey and Antoine were super great and they worked wonderful together! They were also able to close up my stepping cracks pretty good and lifted that one corner about 2 inches!! I was very impressed!! They even found a spot that wasn't on my original plan that needed some attention either now or pretty soon. My front column was starting to move away from the house. I could visibly see that once he pointed it out to me!! Paint was even missing due to the moving of the column!!! I said yes, please, let's fix it while you are here! He even called GreenSky (their finance people that they use I guess. Not as good of a review for them. I didn't find them friendly or helpful) BUT, Josh called them and got everything squared away for me so we could add it on to what they were already doing!! They cleaned up nicely when they were done as well. I was VERY pleased with the crew (Josh, Rickey and Antoine)! I had just one more step in this process and that is to repair my sidewalk and driveway that was also moved or slanted and cracked from the shifting of my house. Jordan and Hector came out to repair this phase of the project. And like the others that came out this far, impeccable!!! Jordan and Hector introduced themselves, asked if I had any questions and then explained to me what they will be doing. I watched them do that as well because it was the foam stuff they'd shoot under the concrete and I wanted to see how that worked too!! Pretty neat!!! I asked if he could do a couple extra areas that were trip hazards for me while he was there and he said absolutely. Once again I had to call GreenSky, and had difficulties, and he was extremely patient and helped me with them as well!! He needed to come back to remove and then repair some concrete to fix an area of the garage that was sunk and when he did I asked him if he could repair some of the concrete repair that Josh's crew had done because it had rained and got messed up a bit and he said of course!!! Not upset or annoyed that I asked at all!! Jordan was very accommodating with any request I had had. Customer's wants and needs were high priority for him and it showed! When he came back out to fix all the concrete he needed to do, he sent me pictures of it and it looked beautiful!! He did a fantastic job AND he even texted me the next day to see if I was happy or if I needed anything else looked at or addressed. I am telling you, I went into this job scared, nervous and overwhelmed!! But they were ALL just AMAZING!!!!! Very kind, patient and knowledgeable in their field!!!! I couldn't of been in better hands anywhere else!! So if you are debating about calling them, DON'T!! I hope I don't ever have to call them again, but if I do need their service again......... in a heart beat!!!! Thanks guys!!!

They refunded 100% of our deposit since we didn't know if our home would be torn down or repaired. We have since begun the repair process and decided to move forward with the encapsulation. I look forward to seeing how this improves the air quality in the home and constant water issues we deal with on perking soil. Cody is our sales consultant and he was always helpful, and responsive.
