"They demonstrated excellence in understanding the need, responsiveness, communicating every action to be taken ahead of time, calculating a fair estimate, explaining options for replacement, timeliness, and exceeding all expectations. Our technician, Zach Womer was outstanding in diagnosing the issues with my water heater, recommending replacements by listing the strengths and limitations of each choice, explaining the installation, confirming the availability of the replacement, estimating installation timing accurately, completing the job thoroughly and neatly, and most of all always staying in touch including after the services were provided. Poseidon and Zach are outstanding and deserving of customers' confidence."

"I'm an out-of-town owner of a single family home investment property in New Castle, DE. For years the house suffered from water penetrating the basement. My current tenants, rightfully so, complained about the water leaking into the basement.......so it was time for me to finally get the issue resolved. I researched service providers & came across Basement Pros through Angie's list. I called to schedule an estimate, then drove into town on the scheduled day & met Todd (Operations Director) at the property. Todd did a thorough assessment of the site and provided a straightforward explanation of their solution, and provided me with an estimate on the spot. I ended up going with the Basement Pros proposal: Install sub-floor drainage system, install sump pump, install window wells & drains. Todd advised me this would be a 2-day job, & also let me know what I needed to have my tenants (family of 5) do to prepare for the work. The adult heads-of-household use a portion of the basement as their bedroom, & the basement also contains a bathroom, laundry/HVAC area, & multiple storage areas. I did my best to prepare my tenants for what I described as "significant work", but in the end they believe I somehow failed them. Here's what is most important.........Basement Pros completed the job in 2 days, just as they said they would. All work was performed as expected. In my mind, everything went as planned. However, as my tenant described it, "the aftermath of the job was not pretty." Since I do live out of town, I did not see the end result firsthand, but some of the things being said by my tenant lead me to believe they were being......shall I say......a bit dramatic. ONE WEEK AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETED, MY TENANTS STILL CLAIMED THEIR LIVES WERE IN TURMOIL BECAUSE OF THE WORK DONE. I just could not relate, sorry. Unfortunately, communication between my tenants & myself really went south, & the relationship quickly soured. So, what was supposed to be a very positive event (getting a dry basement), was now an extremely negative event. And to be clear, NOT because of anything done by Basement Pros. A week after the work was completed, I ended up contacting Basement Pros again & shared my tenants' concerns with Todd. Almost immediately, I was contacted by the company's owner, Mike Ward, who assured me he would contact my tenants to review/address their concerns. The next day, Mike & Todd returned to the property & met with my tenant. These guys addressed any remaining concerns & went "above & beyond" to satisfy my tenant. Knowingly jumping into the middle of drama between a property owner & tenant is not easy, nor appealing. Basement Pros handled it all with professionalism & class. They are top notch! I highly recommend Basement Pros."

"We have a Ranch house built in 1970. At that time, I installed two sump pumps to deal with water issues. Although the pumps and their replacements have worked over the years, there were several issues. First, the sump holes are far from being attractive. Second, the plumbing is a kludge and not up to code. And, there was no backup in case of power failure. I investigated several contractors and decided to go with Kinetic Basement Solutions. This is the best investment I have made in years. Greg and Jason are the co-owners. Greg gave an estimate to replace my two sumps and encapsulate my dirt floored crawlspace. The price was great so I signed a contract. Greg scheduled a start date. Although the start date was delayed, Greg kept me informed of updates. Once the job started he checked in frequently via phone to inform me of schedule changes and work progress. Jason also stopped by often to check progress. The staff worked hard every day and left the basement and garage clean. The crew consisted of a senior guy with two to three helpers. The finished products are outstanding. Each sump has room for two pumps. This is for future room for a backup pump. Each pump has a battery backup. The sumps drain into catch basins in my back yard. The encapsulated crawlspace is clean and bright. Greg is passionate about his product and company. The work was outstanding and the installation team was professional."

"We had a new sump pit installed with french drainage put under our basement floor. Great experience start to finish. The sales technician was experienced and knowledgeable in the field of residential drainage. The process was coordinated and explained well to us, and the build team was timely and proficient. Great job!"

"Office staff and installers were professional, arrived aspromised, worked effectively, ensured the original gutters that remained werecleaned and flowed, and that the yard was left as they found it. The installersadded a piece of flashing in a location of concern and they closed the gatewhich is very much appreciated. It was thought the fit of the installedcomponents would be similar to the original gutter/downspout installation, butthis was not initially achieved. The company was very responsive in addressing my concerns, quickly scheduling a return visit to make the desired corrections."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Bethany Beach, DE

Expect a well-built French drain to last 30 to 40 years. By channeling both surface- and ground-water away from your foundation, the system relieves hydrostatic pressure and helps prevent costly structural damage. Choose a pipe with a quality cloth filter to keep sediment out and extend the drain’s life. A quick annual inspection and routine cleanouts will keep water flowing freely, ensuring the system continues to protect your home for years to come.

Most French drains sit two feet below grade, but depth ultimately depends on the problem you’re solving. For puddling rainwater or snowmelt, a shallow curtain drain at lawn level often does the trick. To handle rising groundwater, pros dig deeper, down to the footing, and run the pipe beneath the basement slab. A drainage contractor will determine the optimal depth for your specific soil conditions and water issues.

A properly installed interior French drain captures water at the slab, channels it to a sump pit, and directs it safely outside, preventing basement floods before they occur. Because the pipe sits just under the floor edge, a plumber can reach it easily for cleaning or repairs. Pairing the drain with a reliable sump pump gives you the best long-term protection.

Hire a contractor who installs drainage systems every day—typically a foundation specialist, drainage contractor, experienced landscaper, or plumber with waterproofing experience. These pros understand slope, soil, and local codes, and they have the equipment to trench safely around utilities. Ask for references and photos of recent jobs to be sure they can design a system that keeps water off your foundation for decades.

Once the drain is in, patch the yard by reseeding bare spots or replacing plants the crew removed. Inside, look for ways to add value—finishing the basement or upgrading interior waterproofing while the space is open often costs less now than later. Schedule a quick annual checkup to flush sediment and confirm the pipe and sump pump are clear. Consistent maintenance ensures the drain functions properly and protects your investment.

Most policies don’t cover the cost of repairing a French drain itself, but they may provide coverage for water damage if the system fails. Coverage varies by insurer, so be sure to read the fine print or contact your agent before any issues arise. If you live in a high-risk flood zone, consider a separate flood policy to close the gap. Knowing your coverage in advance helps you budget for repairs and avoid unexpected costs.
