"I had called several different companies and received multiple different quotes on what could be done to resolve the water issue I was experiencing in my basement. I had multiple estimates that had a wide variety of prices and solutions. After reviewing and researching the companies, I had decided to hire Advanced Basement Solutions, and it was the best decision I could have made!!!! They are family owned and operated, which I loved about them and they do not use any subcontractors. Their pricing was very reasonable and I just had a wonderful feeling about this company before even the work was started. My whole experience with this company was nothing but positive! The office staff was kind, courteous and professional, the inspector they had sent was very knowledgable, kind and explained in detail with photos on what would be done for the installation and the crew they had sent to perform the installation was very polite, courteous and worked very diligently. If you are looking for an awesome company to have your basement waterproofed or foundation repaired I HIGHLY recommend Advanced Basement Solutions!! Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind with a dry basement!!"

"We have been living a nightmare with our basement they were the 3rd contractor we had come out and look at our basementâ ¦the 1st told us that we needed a French drain coming from outside which would cost over 20,000 them had another come out and tell us they can install a French drain from the inside and connect to our main stackâ ¦THANK GOD my neighbor told us that was illegalâ ¦they ripped up our basement and dug up our concreteâ ¦from the minute Advance Basement Solutions came I felt at ease and we were very skeptical and they fixed what the other contractor did and did a internal sub pump which cost us a 3rd of what others quotedâ ¦I THANK GOD that we found them I would highly recommend"

"Bob Cummings and his crew replaced my gas line. Cummings GAVE ME THE BEST PRICE and began the work immediately. He and his crew were very professional, cleaned up after themselves, and followed up after the installation to make sure that I was happy with their work. I cannot recommend them enough for any type of plumbing, gas line, etc. repairs. They are the best and offer the best price !"

"We chose Dan based on his knowledge of the work that needed done. Repaired bowing walls in the basement, installed a french drain around the perimiter of the basement, installed two sumps and replaced a water damaged sill beam at the top of the foundation. The sill beam damage was caused from an outside patio sloping toward the house. The solution was to remove a portion of the patio (not the entire patio), which provided access to the sill beam and rim joist. Replacing the sill beam required jacking the basement joists up to repair the sag in the floor and install the new sill beam. The patio concrete was repaired neatly with a strip seal drain against the house to catch any water draining toward the house. Nice solution to the the problem. Dan provided the most economical solution to my bowing wall problems, carbon fiber straps for the areas where the wall bowing was less severe and steel beams where the wall bowing was much worse. In comparison to other companies quoted, Dan provided the most repair work for the money and in one case 1/3 less. Dan was able to start work within a week, not months like some companies, and finished the work as indicated, could not have asked for more. When the job was complete the area was cleaned up nicely and the concrete work and sill beam replacement looked great. We are very happy with Dan and would recommend him to anyone needing waterproofing work, most economical, fair, upfront, does what he says and completes the job quickly not over a long period of time."

The problem with most "pros"? Too many bad habits.\nIt's easy to get swept away in the day to day monotony, even for those that call themselves "pros". When it comes to hiring a heating and cooling technician, nobody wants to deal with being treated like a sale rather than a person, the use of scare tactics instead of education, or someone who just wants to get to job done quickly instead of correctly. \nAll our HVAC pros go through 5 years of HVAC schooling, for a total of 10,000 hours of on-the-job training. And it's not just technical training either; it's training that focuses on you, on making you feel comfortable every step of the way. We will roll out the red carpet for you, both figuratively and literally.\nRed Carpet Treatment\nDuring every visit to a home, we lay out an actual red carpet to prevent any additional mess. But what may be even more important than just protecting your home is making sure you feel like you've received the best in customer service.

"Jesse came to have a look at the water damage in our basement. He carefully inspected the basement (walls, floor, windows) as well as the outside yard before he suggested what was to be done. He explained in detail the solutions he would implement to deal with the existing damage and prevent any future water issues. Jesse was patient with all our questions and provided clear answers to all our queries. Furthermore, he went far and beyond the scope of his actual consultation/ inspection and diligently explained the pros and cons of some further-reaching issues such as type of flooring to consider once the basement will be done, wall treatments, etc. Jesse is very knowledgeable about the products used by Bakers and the process used to install them. He was friendly throughout the inspection, took as much time as was needed to answer all our questions (the inspection lasted over 2 hours, probably more). He made us understand the way the products work as well as the installation process. We have not decided what firm to use yet, but Jesse surely made a good case for using Bakers."

"I was having a hard time getting financing from the big box lenders but Mark was able to find me one and at short notice. When it looked like the deal would fall through because of title issues from the seller, Mark offered his guidance and expertise and was right there throughout the whole process. The whole 5 months! No call was to early, late or frequent. Mark was always accessible and immediately responsive. A man of his word. This property virgin and veteran is now living the American dream thanks to Mark Principi and the Central Lending staff. I would definitely recommend."

"Highlander exceeded my expectations! Mr. Kevin Adams (Senior Inspector), did a thorough assessment of my basement and garage needs, clearly answered all my questions and proposed an easy to understand solution in writing. Mr. Cameron Shoemaker (Customer Care) made me feel like I was his most important customer ever. He kept me informed throughout the entire project and gladly worked with me when I had to postpone the start date of my project due to personal reasons. Wesley (Foreman) and his crew showed up on time and worked tirelessly to get the job done right and on time. When I brought up a couple of concerns at the end of the project, they quickly and without hesitation did what needed to be done to keep me satisfied. Great company and people who are 100% customer oriented!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Brownsville, PA

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.
