"Excellent! Ed is very professional and stands by his work. I have used him for both my houses. Before installing the french drain, he believed I had problem with one of my windows under the deck. He sealed the window up, but, unfortunately, I was still having a bit of a water issue. He came back immediately, and installed the french drain. He gave me a credit toward the price of the French drain for the amount I paid to seal the window. It has been over a year, and, even with all the nor easters we've had...not a drop of water! I was finally able to finish my basement without fear of water damage."

"Really well. When I called for the appointment the woman who answered the phone was pleasant and helpful and got me an appointment the next day. One of the pipes installed during renovation less than a year ago was too short. Graham and Calvin repaired that and snaked out the pipes removing a clog from years ago in the older pipes. They left everything as clean as when they began. They were on time, courteous, and knowledgeable. They emailed me their pictures when they were on their way so that I would know who they were when they arrived. If I need help with a plumbing problem again, I will definitely call on them again."

"They did a great job overall from determining the cause of the water seepage to waterproofing the basement and installing the sump pump along with the drainage system. They were very clean and thorough in their work and were able to fix other issues they identified while installing the sump pump drainage system. A few years later we had a different issue that was unrelated to the installation and they were very quick to respond and again help identify the issue. We are happy overall not just with their work, but also with their customer service and knowledge. I would highly recommend this company for any job that requires waterproofing."

"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 />"

"Very pleased with the professionalism.  Called back to schedule an appointment and answer questions when he said he would.  Came on time.  Showed initiative regarding the brace for the internal pipe.  Also reminded us about coupon which he honored.  Also provided estimate for 90-year-old concrete basement sink replacement which we are considering. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in New-York, 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.
