"I dealt with John and Dave. They were always very punctual, the proposal was specific it clearly stated what they would be doing, the size of the septic tank, overflow, main line and the cost. It was all done to code. They were polite, responsive and answered all my questions even after the work was completed, I wish I would have realized or been told how extensive the area that was disturbed would be. I would have removed more of the plants."

"We were extremely happy with the work performed by H&M. Moises, Hector and crew were courteous and did whatever needed to please us. They did most of the renovation in our condo......painting, installation of bathroom cabinets, sink, installed tile floor, etc. They also installed vinyl flooring in our kitchen, living and dining rooms. They had a plumber replace our heating baseboard, I would highly recommend H&M if you want excellent work done!!"

"This was absolutely my best experience I have ever had with any company I have ever done business with. No need to look any further, this is definitely the company you will want to do your basement waterproofing . The work that is done and the professionalism of every member of this family run business will exceed your highest expectations. I am an avid researcher when it comes to finding the best company to do a job that I need done. I had an ongoing issue for years with water leaking into my basement. I had 6 top rated waterproofing companies(very well known on long island and beyond) come to my house and present me with why my basement was leaking and how the best way was to fix it. Each company had something different to say and all different ways to fix it. Then came the Napalitano Brothers(Sons James and Mike). These upstanding gentlemen separated themselves from all the other companies I had dealt with. They were polite, sincere, honest, genuine, well mannered, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and patient. They presented themselves with pride in the work that they would be doing and ensured me that they would be able to provide me with a job that would satisfy me beyond measure. I cannot say enough about James and Mike( they both were hands on in doing the actual work for the entire job) they were true to their word and after meeting the patriarch of the family business, I can see why and where these young men get their loyal, honest and genuine qualities. If every business followed the business model and approach of how the Napalitano Brothers run a company, it would make it easy to pick a company to do a job. Good thing I am steadfast when it comes to doing research on a company and I take my time to choose what company I will let do a job I need done. I could not have made a better choice because there is no better choice out their when it comes to getting your basement waterproofed. Everyone says they are the best, but with the Napalitano Brothers you are actually getting the best. After you check out the other companies, let the Napalitano Brothers be the last one before you make your final decision and I will guarantee, you will do as I did and have them do the job. They will exceed your every expectation and put you at complete ease from start to finish, and even after with their follow up with you once the job is complete. Make the SMART choice which is the absolutely the BEST choice and have the Napalitano Brothers take care of your basement waterproofing. They will be my only choice and recommendation to anyone that I know that will need the services that they provide. Since the completion of the job, back in February 2017, we have had a good amount of rain with a few storms that brought tremendous rainfall and I can say with great happiness and satisfaction that my basement has not leaked even one drop. I am very grateful and thankful for meeting the entire family and workers and for having them do a"

"Jack and his crew were thorough, professional and courteous throughout the entire waterproofing project for the basement, which included outside drainage work to better direct water away from the house, and the foundation repairs that were needed. He provided a detailed estimate and explained all facets of the project. Jack also provided additional recommendations for repairing the house gutters and downspouts. The home was built in the 1940's and the basement would flood following rain. Since the repairs, three rain storms within five weeks, each with over 3 inches of rain, have occurred and the basement waterproofing project was immediately tested. It has remained dry!"

"Mark is a very responsive contractor. Any time I called and needed to speak to him he would answer or would call back within 30 minutes. His workers work CLEAN. I have seen interior concrete performed where concrete dust would be on every floor of the house, not ACM. They basically sealed off half of the basement with a plastic wall and ventilated the work area out one of my basement windows. The men worked clean and efficiently. They even finished the project 1 day earlier than expected. We had a footing drain and the easy breathe system installed."

"Went well. Called for septic to be pumped on a Saturday afternoon. He was in the area on another job and came when he was done. Told us the overflow needed pumping also but would have to come back another day to do that since his truck was full. Got the septic pumped out and came back 10 days later to pump and aerate the overflow. Put the patch of grass back that he had to dig up to get to it. You'd never know he did anything there. Very pleased with his work. Bob was very professional, had told us the prices up front. Would definitely use him again. Price includes taxes and discounts from coupon."

"Guy and his team, including foreman Al Hayes, were extremely good, the best contractor we have ever worked with. They came immediately, did an excellent job in a very complex cleaning job of a sewer backup in a basement filled with stuff. They did so efficiently, with complete consideration for us and for helping us sort what to keep and not. They removed truckloads of stuff. They left us with a remarkably clean basement with no residue from the back-up and fully sanitized. Their whole crew was courteous, pleasant, respectful and very careful of all our things. Guy was always part of the process and always immediately responsive to calls and questions. He went above and beyond, taking time to advise us on a variety of house issues, which was very helpful. They later came back and cleaned the attic, which had been filled with black dust from a roof installation, again as well as before. Al also repaired some tile work for us in his spare time at a very reasonable price. I believe the pricing for all of this was quite reasonable for the very fine work performed. I cannot recommend them more highly."

"Mr. John O. arrived on time and alerted me prior to his coming by phone. John went around the basement and inspected the walls and windows for moisture penetration, and signs of deterioration. He listened to my concerns and wrote a report and recommended an indoor french drain installation based on his professional judgment of the situation.
I received the report with a schematic of my basement and his assessment as a pdf on email. He included a detailed estimate for the work proposed.
I feel that I got a report and an hour of evaluation for $49 and it is fair.

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in East Setauket, NY

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.
