I have some water issues under my pier and beam house from sloping back yard and shifting soils.
I have an estimate for a straight forward french drain- liner, gravel, pvc.. no pump, just a drain to take the water elsewhere.... estimate came in at $36.50 a linear foot.. that sounds expensive to me because we're basically talking about a ditch and cheap materials. Anyone with experience in these?
on same/similar subject- anyone have major problems getting contractors and tradespeople to even respond to requests for estimates? By and large, plumbers (independent), contractors other other tradespeople seem to be totally undependable.. they say they will call, come by or even have spent time getting info for an estimate and then just disappear... it's not due to 'small jobs', it's just totally being unprofessional.
