"We had a miscommunication at first which delayed the work a bit but once we got on the same page, everything went smoothly. Chris and his partner are hard workers...very professional, efficient and diligent. They dug down on the exterior wall then sealed it with tar and a plastic moisture barrier. On the inside, Chris scraped out loose mortar, sealed with a commercial grade thermoseal, sealed air leaks and cleaned up afterwards. We've had several hard rains since the work was done and I have had no seepage. <br />"

"They installed 68 "sister" joists and new sill plates while leveling everything. The drainage system consisted of a new pit and sump pump, a trench around the perimeter with perforated pipe covered with rock and then a vapor barrier over the entire area."

"Joel and his partners were very professional and easy to work with. We were impressed that they are engineers not plumbers. We would highly recommend this trenchless relining process as an alternative to anyone contemplating the replacement of a sewer line."

"Chris and his team provided me with outstanding service. They installed an irrigation system which could not all be handled with machinery. Some of the channels had to be done by hand due to parts of my yard being a rock garden and others with flower beds. They did excellent work, tuned the setup for effective coverage and cleaned up nicely post the installation. Their price was also very competitive. Thank you so much Chris and team."

"I have always enjoyed working with Americrawl. Theprice of the sump pump installation was much more reasonable than other quotes I received. When I called about waterproofing the rep told me some things were not necessary and gave me the package that worked best with my home. The installers were very nice and great to work with. <br />"

"Excellent Customer Service and attention to detail. They made time to meet with my insurance adjuster on a Sunday and got hail damage approved seamlessly. Gave me several options for colors, and options for warranties as well as made good recommendations for ventilation. During the replacement, they kept me updated frequently with a text stream showing pictures and seeking approvals for any additional issues found. They made sure to do it right, not just cover any other damage up for me to find later on. My only complaint is that I referred my neighbor and they said they would give me a referral check for $250, but I haven't received anything. But overall I am very happy with the job they did and would use them again."

"We recently moved to a 95 yr old home. We were told we had a dry basement when in fact we did not. We looked in to basement waterproofing with a couple different companies but the scope of the work and the cost didn’t feel like the right solution. We had Don come out and he was very knowledgeable, professional and very courteous. He recommended some things that the other companies did not. He actually talked us out of mor expensive fixes. He said he believes in starting with the least intrusive, least expensive options first. His solutions worked for us. We would 10/10 recommend Don and his crew at Foundation Doctors LLC."

"They did a great job, very efficient. Mauricio inspected each of the lights before installing and found one to be defective. The internal wires were stripped and not safe. We felt very lucky that he had inspected before installing. We were able to get another light fixture that he later installed and were able to prevent a possible fire from that light fixture. <br /> We originally asked just for the lighting installation. After talking, we discovered that he and his crew did so much more. They do room additions, fences, remodeling, home inspections, etc. We kept adding projects (since it is a new home for us) and he was always willing to tackle anything we requested. His rates were very reasonable. <br /> We would highly recommend Mauricio and his crew for any job! <br /> <br />"

"I had a water heater installed by Geiler 22 years ago. It was time for a replacement. They recommended a slightly larger one (50 gallons as opposed to 40), higher efficiency. The installer discovered a ventilation issue which was corrected. Work was done well."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Lamar, IN

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.
