"They fixed the leak and put in a sump pump and water trench. The basement leaked 2 more times afterwards, but they returned to correct it right away. We were responsible all 3 times to repair the drywall and wood landing at the bottom of the stairs,so I called saying that I should not have to keep fixing those thing over and over. The CEO of the company called back and came out to the house himself to inspect. He had his people come out to the house again to do more that he felt would fix the problem for good, as well fixing the drywall and landing at no cost. It was a frustrating experience, but this company and it's CEO stood by thier work and made it right. I would use them again."

"This company repaired all wall cracks in my basement and installed a drain system on all walls of my basement. This company showed up when they were suppose to and completed the work on my basement in a timely matter. I had to contact this company to come back out after the work was done but come to find out, the problem we experienced was not due to any of the work this company had previously done however they still repaired the problem without charging us anymore money. Would definitely recommend this company to others."

"Great, I would recommend Highland Waterproofing to anyone who has a leak in their basement. We contact them and they were out to fix our leak with a few days after contacting them. They were very professional and no mess was left behind."

"So, I had B-Dry come out and give me an estimate on an egress window, all of that was professional enough, but I asked the guy a bunch of questions and basically he gave me all of the wrong answers. I asked him about a header, and he said I didn't need one (I do! For sure. Just because it's an old house without a header now doesn't mean it shouldn't have one). I asked him if it required permits and he said it didn't (I contacted the county office, and they confirmed that I absolutely need permits for this work, and if b-dry is doing this work without permits, that's city regs). I asked him about the need for a drain, and he said it didn't need one cause the basement was waterproofed (code requires a drain! I just read it myself!). And for all of that, their price was only about 500 bucks below the other quotes I got that included the header, drain and pulling permits. If you call b-day, and you do work with them (and I am sure they do great work, they are a big company with lots of business in this area) make sure they pull permits, install a drain and install a header! It's possible their sales guy was just clueless and their installers would have done all of that, but it made me nervous enough to go with someone else. If their sales guy doesn't know the right answers to those questions, it's going to cost them business."

"Although I was skeptical based on my previous plumber experiences in Louisville area, Davis and Davis arrived on time communicated in advanced  when they would arrive and were highly professional. <br /> Even though it was late Saturday night they installed a really top quality water heater and an amazing quality of Plumbing Work including fine work on the copper, gas and power vent connection.  When they were done it looked like a new house installation. <br /> I was extremely pleased at all aspects including: workmanship, quality of water heater installed, completing work in a timely matter and clean up. <br /> After going through several plumbers and not being pleased at the work I would definitely use them again and recommend you try them. as well. <br />"

"The plumber was able to guess the location of the leak within an inch or so and carefully made an easily fixable hole through the drywall and wallpaper. He cleaned up afterwards. The opening was easy for me to drywall and repaper because of the care he took with the hole. We were able to wait for the specialist in hidden leaks in older houses. It took a few days for him to get here after we called, but he came as scheduled and worked quietly and efficiently. The repair has functioned perfectly."

"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."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in New Albany, 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.
