"I posted an initial review on 2/21/19 on a job done on 1/11/19 to fix groundwater from coming into our basement. The drainage system and sump they installed was not collecting all the water that was coming in, as we had leaking from several areas along an uneven rock ledge. I had reached out to our salesperson by phone and email and never heard back, so I was very frustrated. About 3 weeks after I posted the review, I did get a call from Jeff Allen, one of the supervisors. To make a long story short, he sent out one of their waterproofing specialists to look at the problem. We had already hired an independent mason to try to remedy the problem but he had not yet had a chance to do the job. Jeff convinced me that CT Basement systems would do absolutely whatever it took to fix my water problem. I cancelled the independent mason. Danny, a mason from CT Basement Systems came out and used a very ingenious method to divert all the water to the originally installed water guard trough and then to the sump. It is working beautifully!! I think Danny is a genius and I am so impressed and thankful for Jeff's perseverance and kindness in making this happen. I am now a very happy customer."

"Customer Service was good. However pump was installed in a different spot then was discussed with out proper consultation. Despite prior assurances, the basement was not closed off during jack hammering, thus creating a thick layer of dust over the entire basement."

"Mike Tullo knows his business and delivers on his promises. The job involved completely removing the old roof down to the deck, installing a new roof to code, sealing four skylights and installing a copper chimney flashing. Mike's price was fair and very competitive. In fact, he offered to install replacement skylights if necessary at no charge for labor. One of his competitors wanted to charge $300 labor per skylight. Mike's crew was thoroughly professional, hardworking and did a fine job. Cleanup was meticulous, even to the point of blowing off the deck and scouring the grounds with a magnet to pick up stray nails. The entire job was done in a day, no muss, no fuss. Mike does a lot of roofs each year. There's a reason: he's good. Highly recommended."

"A.J.  was great to work with.  His team graded my backyard and it looks fantastic! They were fast and reliable.
I definitely recommend M&M Construction/ Drainage Pros.  They have also helped put me in touch with other colleagues for tree work and plumbing who are reliable and cost effective.

"I really want to thank everyone (sales rep, crew, foreman, etc) for
improving my families air quality. My husband and my son both have
asthma, and have been having a very difficult time breathing lately. The
sales rep actually performed a mold test in the house, and I found the
mold I thought was only on the walls was actually in the air in my
entire house. They came a few days later to install an Easy-Breathe
system and later came to fix my basement water issues.
 I chose Dry-X  Waterproofing because I know a lot of contractors,
and they agree that the company stands behind the product and service.
Another "big" reason I chose them is because they have done business
under the same name for many, many years.
It has been a couple weeks since the basement was complete, and the
dirt is still settling and the basement is a lot less damp and humid. I
am so happy I decided to choose Dry-X . Every single person I dealt
with was professional and courteous to me, my husband, and my children.
We highly recommend using their services.

"This was the FOURTH time my basement flooded in one year, RAPS came out same day to pump out water, then returned to install permanent sump system. All told, cost estimates at nearly $6000 for complete drainage overhaul. RAPS is very, very good at what they do, you will pay for what you get, have no doubt, but at least RAPS will not leave you low and wet."

"I hired JUGGS Masonry to re-do my two sets of front steps as well as the sidewalk and it came out beautiful!! It was a fair price as I got several quotes, they were very attentive, answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable about everything. They ripped out my old brick sidewalk and steps and re-installed brand-new pavers of my choice all in three days. I would not hesitate to hire them for any projects I might have in the future!!"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in New Haven, CT

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.
