"The employees that arrived to do the work were good workers. They were either unaware of the contracted work or mislead. They were not going to install the J Channel per the service agreement, and they had planned to backfill the ditch with the earth they had removed. The contract called for the ditch to be filled to surface with gravel. The installers called the office and explained that a J Channel was agreed on and someone from the office delivered it to satisfy my request. They were going to install the J Channel in segments vs one solid piece across the length of the ditch. I told them the segment seems would allow the water to get thru the J Channel and weep thru our foundation once more. They did the work as I requested but had I not been there or had I been a customer that did not know any better, this job would not have been done correctly or as agreed upon in the contract."

"I was impressed with the attention to detail and the positive and informative conversations that occurred after the installation. The installers took the time to explain how the system works and how to problem solve if any problems arise. Bakerâ s Waterproofing also came the next day after the installation was complete to assist our family with issues with our waterline that went beyond their installation agreement. The company wanted to make sure that we were satisfied with our new waterproofing system. I was impressed with how proactive the office staff and installers were in helping us with our questions and concerns. Bakerâ s Waterproofing is definitely a company that prioritizes quality customer service. I highly recommend their team if you have questions and concerns about your foundation of your house and issues related to waterproofing your basement."

My family and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Mark and Judy.  They both were easily accessible by phone or email, professional, and patient regarding the numerous questions I frequently put to them.  Mark was very straightforward with me, and worked hard to overcome the obstacles that popped up.  Bottom line- I was able to obtain a loan at a good fixed rate, and am very satisfied.  I would (and do) recommend them to my friends.

"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!"

"After struggling for many years in caring for a steep and hazardous bank, Evergreen Landscaping and Lawn Care has developed and finalized a solution to stop our falls and tumbles that had occurred several times over the years even with a lawn mower in hand! We are so happy with the work of Troy Smith and the effort that was done, They cleared the bank; brought in rock, and planted trees. The labor that was done was truly amazing. Thank you so much Troy for a beautiful, quick and economical resolve!!! They are so trust worthy that I have no reservations in leaving our property totally in their care."

"I should have asked to look at the toilet before it was installed. It is not comfortable--too small. I am going to replace it with a bigger one and use the one he installed in a rental home that I own. The plumber was polite, and efficient. He did a neat job. I do not like the toilet seat, but that is my fault. I should have asked more questions."

"From start to finish, SI Restoration was professional and timely. They were such a gem to work with during a very tough time. Our home suffered water damage from a water leak in the kitchen to the basement. The team sent to my home (same day) was courteous, knowledgeable, and set up the drying equipment. They explained the process to me and answered all of my questions. They came back every day to monitor the moisture levels and made adjustments as necessary. I would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Cranberry, 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.
