"FIRST: Hope sent out a nice man named MATT to plumb for a basement half bath. He was very good. Before leaving, he gave us a coupon that said $25 off ANY PLUMBING SERVICE. SECOND: On a house we own one block south, water was coming up through the basement drain. We had already had the main drain cleaned a week or so before, so we didn't think that would solve the problem as there was still water coming up. Hope sent out Kevin. Very nice, polite, prompt, but he basically did what the first drain cleaner had done, and that didn't fix the problem. HE SAID he didn't have the small snake on the truck to do the lines from the kitchen and laundry room. Why would HOPE send out someone who didn't have the proper equipment on the truck? Nothing was fixed at this point. THIRD: Kevin called the office and they said they wouldn't take the coupon that was given to us by Matt."

"After a few months of plumbing problems we finally found out we needed a new sewer line. After a few quotes we found English Excavating and they were the lowest by far. After checking them out we decided to go with them. The process was super quick and with in a few days I had a bunch of guys and machines in my yard. And the job was done the same day. My only disappointing factor was that I had a tree in my front yard and the person I spoke with originally understood that we wanted to try and keep the tree. The people that showed up was not the person I spoke with originally and told me the tree was probably going to have to go. After speaking with those guys we had decided to TRY and go around the tree but upon returning home there was no attempt to go around the tree and the tree was completely gone. While we were sad to lose the tree it was what caused all of the problems. Other than that we had a great experience.

"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."

"All went well. Very prompt. Jim Knox is very knowledgeable on this system. He did not try to sell me more. On the contrary he suggested this pressurized system as a
solution to try instead of replacing the tanks and finger system right away. The original septic system was installed in 1974 so it may need the fingers replaced at a future date. I would also suggest using the electrician Jim recommended as he has wired many of these pumps for Jim and is very knowledgeable on what is required to make this system run properly. Jim always answered the phone or called me back within ten minutes. I highly reccomend Knox Septic.

"We hired Brian to waterproof our basement last year but this year, we received a heavy rainstorm that created massive flooding around the area. Everything Brian waterproofed was bone dry but there was an exit door entry way that we never even considered waterproofing. The door held back most of the water but it managed to get in through the cracks of the door. 

I contacted multiple companies that night and the next morning, but Brian was the only one who responded back first thing in the morning. He agreed to meet us at our house to assess the problem, and we appreciated that he arrived quickly. After evaluating multiple options, Brian told us that we needed a sump pump and drain tile installed to permanently fix this problem. He initially scheduled us for the next Monday, but after understanding our urgency, he bumped us up to the next day. The workers arrived when he said they would, and the work was completed the same day in the afternoon. Thank you to Brian and his company for being so accommodating, being there when we needed him, and completing the work promptly.

*~update~*
After some heavy rains, we noticed that we were still getting some seepage in our "waterproofed" basement. After contacting Brian (for our lifetime warranty or whatever), he said he would come out. He then proceeded to cancel/make an excuse the next 3-4 appointments. Then he just stopped responding to emails/calls. We're very disappointed because we really liked Brian. Now we have to open the walls to see where the seepage is coming in and call someone else to seal them."

"Ed and his crew came out to figure out where my problem was with my sewer line. They had to dig up the sewer line to find out why it was backing up. Once they were able to see the pipe we discovered that one of the utility lines had drilled their cable line through my sewer line causing me the problem. Ed called out the correct officials to determine who was responsible so that I would be able to file a claim for his services. We determined that it was in fact connected to ATand T. I'm still waiting to hear from someone at ATand T in the claims department. However, Ed and his crew did a GREAT job in a desperate time of need. They cut out the bad part of the pipe and replaced it with new. It's running like a champ! Ed also did a great job of taking pictures for me to have to be able to show ATand T if tey had any questions.

"SWAINCO.  CRAWL SPACE FULL PERIMETER DRAINAGE &
ENCAPSULATION WORK:
BACKGROUND: For 5
years I have considerer the above work; however, as someone who has been
involved in commercial contracting & construction for 4 decades, I have
been cautious about the process for various reasons. When we built the house,
an exterior perimeter drains & foundation waterproofing, which is felt to
be the best approach, did not get done! Off & on, I researched contractors,
construction data & finally had some intriguing conversations with Ken
Swain on his process. Ultimately, we reached some agreeable criteria-It is
details that matter to make things really work well. I learned from Ken & I
think he learned from me on some issues. His knowledge & experience were
critically important but just as important was his willingness to continue
learning, improving his process & being open to discuss. At it?s very worst,
our crawl was flat with +/- 4? of level pea gravel & it has only been
notably damp & never had significant standing water around the perimeter.  An existing sump was to be lowered &
replaced. 
 
AGREEMENT:   We
finally reached an agreement & as scheduling progressed, there were some
issues, Ken was graciously willing to address them in a prudent businesslike
manner; in part, some delays were due to the 2015 May-July HEAVY rains.  Ken?s workers
were timely, polite, & helpful in delivering the details of the work &
even offer some nominal but important details such as adding a 2nd
layer of 20 mill product at the crawl entry to provide extra protection. The
crew was open to my periodic inspections as set up. The crew size of 4 was
reasonable & the lead ?foreman? came to me to discuss/resolve potential issues
vs. what is commonly done by contractors to quickly cover up & hide things
for the owner?s future ?discovery?.  Even
after the work, it warranted prudent to install a de-humidifier that I
purchased, with Ken?s help, & now have +/- 55-60% humidity in crawl &
house. It proved to be a prudent decision.
RESULTS:    Given
the MAJOR May, June & July 2015 rains, I have been amazed at the amount of
water that has drained from the concrete block wall 3 holes per block into the
4? perimeter drain system, new sump & pump. Ken & SwainCo staffs were not
just doing a task but they are ?thinkers? unlike many other companies that
?just do what they do because that is what they do.?   THANKS KEN & STAFF.
N & J of Greenwood.

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Mooresville, 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.
