I was extremely satisfied with the service provided in reparing a drainage system leak in my home. Not only was the initial inspection very thorough but the repair was done efficiently, followed by photos from the installers of the work progress. Additionally, all employees that I dealt with were very polite and professional. Highly recommend Wilmington French Drain.

Tom was great to work with. He was with the project from beginning to end. We called a few days later with an issue with the scupper. He was on it immediately and took care of it beautifully. The work crew was awesome. Really great guys. Friendly, funny, courteous, and cleaned up everything. We definitely recommend these guys.

FAQ's ・ WHAT CLIENTS ASK US
Answering your questions about drainage.
The lifespan of a drainage system depends on the material used:
- Asphalt french drains: Typically last 12 to 30 years.
- Channel Drains: Can endure 30 to 50 years.
- Slate Drainage Systems: Often last 75 to 150 years.
- Clay Tiles: May last over a century. Regular maintenance can extend these durations.
Key signs include:
- Age of drainage system over 20 years
- Curling or missing french drains
- Leaks or water damage
- Sagging drainage system deck
- Light showing through drainage system boards
- Higher energy bills
Most residential drainage system replacements take 1-3 days. Factors affecting timeline:
- Home size
- Drainage System complexity
- Weather conditions
- Material type
Larger or more complex projects may take longer.
While possible, we recommend complete removal of old french drains. This allows inspection of the deck, ensures proper installation, and maximizes drainage system lifespan. Most building codes limit re-drainage to two layers.
To prepare:
- Remove loose items from attic
- Clear driveway and yard of vehicles and furniture
- Secure outdoor decorations
- Protect landscaping
- Make arrangements for pets
We'll provide detailed preparation instructions before the project begins.
