"After Hurricane Sandy, we had our sump pump system with a battery backup expanded a few years ago with additional curtain drains added. The price was reasonable and they did not try to sell extras that other companies tried to sell. We have the system and battery serviced once a year. They keep to their appointments times."

"Honestly, we cannot say enough good things about Drainage Pros. They are professional, competitively priced, trustworthy, and - most importantly - excellent at what they do.
We moved into a 1920s home with major drainage problems. Four of the six original underground drains that collected water from the downspouts were nonfunctional. Our home also sat low on the property, and when it rained water flowed across our driveway, over the patio, and into our basement by seeping over the foundation. It looked like a small river coming toward our home and disappearing underneath.
AJ responded quickly to our initial inquiry and met with us on site to discuss the project. He listened carefully to our observations while assessing the driveway, patio, and grounds before sending us a detailed proposal the next day. The proposal listed several different stages and options, which we continued to discuss with him at every step of the project. AJ was always very  knowledgeable, communicative, and professional, responding to our many questions and concerns thoroughly and patiently (even when we asked the same question multiple times). Ultimately, Drainage Pros stood by their original proposal, working within budget, and they even guaranteed their work (although we don?t expect we?ll be needing the guarantee).
They tore out and had the old driveway re-graded and repaved, installed a channel drain behind part of the home, and laid pvc pipe along the entire perimeter to collect water from all six downspouts. They ran the pipe under two bluestone patios and walkways, all of which they reset carefully. They connected the pipe to our main sewer line, which required six foot plus excavations. Lastly, they reseeded the lawn (which returned nicely), and basically restored the grounds to their original condition. The paving company they coordinated with was also excellent, and they worked hard at communicating with each other to ensure that the project was completed to our satisfaction.
Personally, what I most appreciated about working with Drainage Pros is that AJ did not trouble us with all of the things that could possibly go wrong while performing such a major job like excavating and tapping into the main sewer line. He simply assured us calmly and professionally that he and his team could do the job, and they did. Perfectly.
We had previously discussed the job with a completely different (and also highly rated) contractor who appeared flustered by our drainage issues and, after charging us >$1,000 for an assessment and cleaning, was unable to offer us a written proposal or estimate without further ?diagnostics?. Do not waste your time and money, like we did. Just hire Drainage Pros, and they will get the job done.
We now have absolutely NO DRAINAGE ISSUES and strangely even look forward to when it rains so we can see how beautifully the water flows down the driveway, into the drains, and away from the house. If you are on this site searching for a drainage specialist, perhaps you can appreciate this.

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Branford, CT

A standard sump pump installation takes two to four hours to complete. The process includes creating or preparing the sump pit, positioning the pump correctly, connecting drainage lines, and setting up electrical components. Installation time may vary depending on your home's specific conditions and whether you're replacing an existing pump or installing a completely new system.

Permit requirements for sump pump installation vary by location. Some municipalities require permits for new installations, particularly when they involve electrical work or modifications to your home's drainage system. It's always best to check with your local building department before beginning installation to ensure compliance with regional regulations and avoid potential penalties.

On average, pedestal sump pumps last 20 to 25 years, while submersible pumps last five to 15 years. However, a manufacturer's warranty can provide guidance on expected lifespan. Consider replacement if you notice unusual noises, frequent cycling, or visible corrosion. Regular maintenance can help maximize your pump's operational life, but replacement is advisable as your unit approaches the end of its expected service period.

Most standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover sump pump installation as it's considered a preventative measure rather than a response to covered damage. However, some insurers offer additional water damage coverage options that might include sump pump-related protection. Review your policy details or consult with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage limitations regarding water management systems.
