"Extremely happy with the sales, service and result! My basement is dry after years of leaking. Corey B was great! He answered all my questions and was very thorough about the explaining the process. The installation team communicated prior to their arrival, started work immediately and finished in record time. I assumed there would be dust everywhere-but the area was clean! So happy I went with AccuLevel."

"We were pleased with the customer service, skill set and careful attention provided by Indiana Foundation during last week's waterproofing work on our basement. Josh Solomon and Noah Salisbury were diligent in their attention to our questions and concerns, going the extra mile to ensure a quality installation that met our needs. Our basement is already drier and we hope to build it out for a play/rec room soon."

"It was a small job. They sealed the vents to the crawlspace, then, since there was already solid insulation panels on the walls, put a vapor/moisture barrier, in the form of a tarp, 4 feet wide and as long needed, completely around the crawlspace. It was then sealed to the walls with "nails" and adhesive. This seals the wood frame of the house from the 'Outside", the ground, which is the floor of the crawlspace. A 20 mil thick, quite heavy, "floor" was installed, also in the form of a tarp, It went up the walls about 3 feet and was taped to the 'tarp" on the walls, using a tape made for this application. The piers were wrapped with the same stuff and taped to seal the inside from the outside. the "floor" is also a vapor/moisture barrier, but, heavy enough to walk on if needed. This basically makes the crawlspace another room, rather than the outside. Our house is one year old and was already getting mold on the floor joists. Since the air in the crawlspace will now be heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, just like the rest of the house, the mold and cold (52 degrees) floors we experienced last winter will hopefully be eliminated. We shall see when dumb winter gets here."

"To be honest, we chose HPC not so much related to their so-called permanent coating technology that they had touted so much about, but mainly to the Better Business Bureau?s Ethics in the Marketplace Award that they won.  Why?  We are proud to own a spectacular 3,200 sq. ft. two-story English Tudor home with walkout basement, but the biggest challenge for this type of home is that there is a lot of trim, which means: 1) ultra extensive caulking is required, 2) attention to detail so as to keep the trim paint color separated from the stucco paint color, and 3) number of cedar boards that require repair or replacement far exceeds that of a typical home.

First, Chris the Carpenter repaired or replaced all damaged & rotted cedar boards. A few days later, the paint crew came onsite.  They power washed the exteriors, scrapped old paint, put caulk in every crack and crevice, protected all windows with sheets of plastic or paper, painted and cleaned up daily, etc.  You know, all the things that you would expect a painter to do, the boring stuff.

What made HPC stand out, however, is how they responded to my very demanding requests.  Tucker, the leader of the team was very professional, respectful, and patient. Tucker consistently kept me informed, immediately responded to any of my questions, took my specific requests without any argument, and basically bent over backwards to make everything right, even if it means starting over. All in all, all we can say is that we are very pleased with a month worth of work.  The neighbors and co-workers kept mentioning to me how great of the job HPC has done."

"Schedule to do the work at noon on Saturday. Did call at 11:00 a.m. because they had a tire blowout and let me know he would be a couple hours late. But they did show up when they said they would. Tree was trimmed excellently. Just what I wanted. All of the haul away was done. Yard was cleaned up exactly the way it looked before arrival. Could not be happier. Are planning on having them back to trim another tree."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Marshall, IL

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.
