"It was late at night when we realized our water heater blew and flooded our basement like a swimming pool. We had to find a plumber and fast. we came across SWB he was out here within 30 minutes from our call the job he did was impeccable. He went above and beyond he went and got us a new water heater, installed it, and then stuck around to help us clean up, Since then we’ve used him for several other projects. Every time the professionalism came with him I would highly recommend him 100%."

"The provider was very professional, punctual, and pleasant. Unfortunately we just bought this house and can't swing paying for a full waterproofing. It would involve putting drainage channels around the inside perimeter of our basement and pouring a new floor. Also it would involve installing a new sump pump (we had already installed one) and buying a new dehumidifier (we had already bought one). When these wear out, we will most likely contact TC Hafford to install bigger and better than what we have now. But he gave me some nice tips to deal with our issues in the interim. He didn't do a hard sell which increases the likelihood that we will use him in the future! <br />"

"I had hired Rotten Rock a few winters ago for tree service. I had nearly a dozen very large pine trees that were very tall and within falling distance of my house. At first I was overwhelmed by the thought of any tree professional tackling this job, but then I met Henry and his crew. The job was completed much to my satisfaction, and I was impressed with the level of safety and efficiency. Just recently, my water supply line from my 100 year old shallow dug well to pump (in house) began to fail. No wanting to waste any time nor chance, again I called Rotten Rock. Within 36 hours Henry arrived with his machine and new water line.....and by Noon the job was done....Wow! Thanks Henry & Todd! -Michelle in Madison <br />"

"On the price, they were reasonable, they weren't high, they weren't low. They came out to fix something and weren't able to fix it. Then we got a bill anyhow because they were here. They were very responsive. He was here on time. The time he was here before that he was very good. So this was just a bad visit."

"Communication with Worth's was always prompt, easy, personable and <br /> professional.  They arrived when they said they would and completed the <br /> work absolutely perfectly.  We recently had them back to install gutters <br /> on our shed - again - perfect. <br /> Here's the real test... shortly after Worth's installed the gutters we <br /> experienced Hurricane Irene.  Four trees came down in our back yard, <br /> water came pouring down one chimney as it rained ferociously for a day <br /> and a half.  NOT A DROP overflowed from the gutters and our basement was <br /> dry as a bone due to the gutters.  The  downspouts performed flawlessly as well. <br /> I wouldn't hesitate to call Worth's for any gutter installation or repair you may need. <br />"

"They specialize on church steeples and copper and slate are the company's specialties. He has done a lot of work on the old historical buildings. He has been absolutely fantastic for me and has given me choices on how to resolve the problems. He is good about getting me in touch with someone who is half the cost of him and he is so understanding. I don't ever have problems with my gutters or drainage anymore."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Norway, ME

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.
