"I couldn't be happier! I did not know the location of my cesspool, and wanted it serviced while it had last been at least 5 years since it had been pumped. Two gentlemen arrived exactly on time, and went to work to locate the cesspool. This was truly not an easy task-- pipes appeared to go towards the back yard, however in the end were located in the front. The Foreman even entered an old accessory stairway where the pipes exit to look more closely-- had to use a small ladder to go through access way to a large crawl space over old stairs to the basement. There were no outside vents and they used a metal detector to find the tank. When they located a tank, they didn't stop there. After some investigation the foreman was convinced it was an overflow tank, and he set out then to find the main, which was eventually located a distance away under landscaping bushes. He was diligent and determined-- I truly believe some may likely have stopped at the first tank, especially while it had taken so much time and effort to find it. They then installed 2 tubes with caps for future easy access, and pumped and treated the systems. They even washed off the surrounding grass and bushes-- I never would have thought of that. The gentlemen were friendly and professional, and very hard working. The foreman even kindly educated me a bit on the system, and what one should do, what types of tanks I have, etc. In the end, they spent a good three hours at my home, applied the %10 discount from Angie's List, and I believe the final cost of the service was more than fair. Thank you! I am very happy, and would highly recommend Priority Cesspool. I will definitely have them back for continued future maintenance. <br />"

"We were extremely happy with the work performed by H&amp;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&amp;M if you want excellent work done!!"

"E & M came for an estimate and diagnosed the problem promptly. No sales pitch or lengthly discussion, just explained that foundation cracks had to be repaired in the backyard behind the basement, they needed to excavate and fill in the dirt. They charged 1/4 of what the previous company charged to dig trenches and install a sump pump which didn't totally keep the boiler room dry. After living in the house for 20 years the boiler room has stayed dry finally, no need for a handyman to repair anything after their work either! They accepted the Angie's List coupon. Several rainstorms later: fantastic price and great result only wish I had found them sooner."

"I actually needed to solve ventilation issues in my basement. I had an EZ Breathe product installed and an old ventilation system removed, added a vent and had a hose run from a dehumidifier to the outside. They did a great job, were responsive, professional, great to deal with and fair priced."

"I was very pleased with Ron. I called him the night before because i was unable to use any water in my house. My pipes were backed up. He promised he would be to my house by 8am the next morning. He showed up early. My family and I were so grateful. He fixed the problem in no time. He was very informative on what the problem was. We have been having problems on and off for awhile and now we cant prevent from having that problem again. He was very reasonably. We were worried it was going to be too much money, but it wasn’t. Very friendly and very happy to finally have a plumber."

"This Company had come recommended to us and the Initial work seemed good ...but then we had two more instances of heavy rain and the basement had more water coming in....twice. It turned out that the Company had failed to accurately diagnose the source of the water coming in, and therefore had not recommended the correct design/layout of the system the first time. in fact, it was another contractor that finally identified the real source, so we then had to have additional costly work done by Healthy Basement to finally fix it, in addition to having to incur additional costs to have the basement refinished again...twice. During the 2nd time we had water (post the initial work), the Company was not responsive at all in helping to remediate the water damage and the Manager (Bill) was extremely unprofessional and inappropriate in how he talked to my wife (who was of course understandably upset about the water in the basement). That all said, we have not had any further water issues since the 2nd fix....but it was a very unpleasant and expensive experience and because of this, I would not be able to recommend this business to others."

"You never know how a day is going to go. On Sunday 3-23 I flushed the toilet in the downstairs bathroom. What came back was a gurgling noise and some bubbles. After having issues in the past since buying our home two years ago, I suspected the worst.  <br /> My wife tried to plunge the toilet with no luck. During the process we noticed water coming out from the bottom of the commode.  <br /> , The seal was broken. My wife removed the toilet and we went out to Lowes to get a seal kit and ring. When we came back we noticed the water in the waist pipe was still high. Then we tried to snake the line to no avail. We decided service was needed. It was 6 pm on Sunday. Roto Rooter offered service the next day. We checked Angies List and found All-Ways Sewer and Drain.  <br /> I spoke to Mike the owner right away and explained my issue. He stated that he would call me back in 5 minutes. When he called back he stated he would be at our home by 9pm. Mike was very prompt.  <br /> Mike first tried to get the sewer cap off the line to no avail. So desperate measures were needed. Mike explained that he will have to get the sewer cap off by hitting it with a hammer. Water came spraying out of the sewer cap hitting the floor and we provided them with some garbage cans. After the water was out of the line Mike attempted to snake out the line with his equipment. After about an hour Mike advised us that it didnt look good but he would update us. Then he tried to open the line with high pressure water. That didn't work either. Mike then put a camera down the line. The sewer line was corroded to the point in which water was barely passing through. The lines would have to be replaced.  <br /> Mike explained the price of the service and exactly what he would do. But it would have to be done in the morning. My wife and I went to a relative to sleep due to the smell of sewage in the home. Mike showed up on time the next day and did the whole job in about 5 hours. He even provided us with a new Slop Sink along with installing the toilet in the downstairs bathroom.  <br /> The job was well done and his crew even helped with the clean up by shop vacing the basement. The fact that he showed up on a Sunday night and had everything fixed within 24 hours was priceless.  <br /> Mike is highly recommended. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Island Park, 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.
