"Bill and his workers were extremely efficient, knowledgeable, polite and were able to determine why and where my water issue in my basement originated from via a camera. They were able to explain all possible variations they may encounter digging and fixing pipes and downspout drainage. I was very pleased at their expertise and neatness! Thank you for a wonderful job. It couldnâ t have gone better!"

"I had called several different companies and received multiple different quotes on what could be done to resolve the water issue I was experiencing in my basement. I had multiple estimates that had a wide variety of prices and solutions. After reviewing and researching the companies, I had decided to hire Advanced Basement Solutions, and it was the best decision I could have made!!!! They are family owned and operated, which I loved about them and they do not use any subcontractors. Their pricing was very reasonable and I just had a wonderful feeling about this company before even the work was started. My whole experience with this company was nothing but positive! The office staff was kind, courteous and professional, the inspector they had sent was very knowledgable, kind and explained in detail with photos on what would be done for the installation and the crew they had sent to perform the installation was very polite, courteous and worked very diligently. If you are looking for an awesome company to have your basement waterproofed or foundation repaired I HIGHLY recommend Advanced Basement Solutions!! Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind with a dry basement!!"

"I recently hired Advanced Basement Solutions after my basement had sustained multiple floods. They sent out a knowledgeable inspector who thoroughly assessed the situation and provided me with several options to address the issue. The quote for installing an internal French drain was very reasonable, and the service that followed was exceptional. A team of 7 workers arrived shortly after and completed the entire job in just one day. They left everything spotless, and since then, my basement has weathered several heavy rains without a single drop of water. I highly recommend Advanced Basement Solutions for their professionalism and efficiency in French drain installation."

"Brickhaas Plumbing was extremely helpful and put up with a lot of questions throughout the process of running a new gas service line for my new house. The owner was very patient with me even when paperwork needed resubmitted to the gas company due to mishandling on their end. I would absolutely recommend Brickhaas to friends and family."

"We chose Dan based on his knowledge of the work that needed done. Repaired bowing walls in the basement, installed a french drain around the perimiter of the basement, installed two sumps and replaced a water damaged sill beam at the top of the foundation. The sill beam damage was caused from an outside patio sloping toward the house. The solution was to remove a portion of the patio (not the entire patio), which provided access to the sill beam and rim joist. Replacing the sill beam required jacking the basement joists up to repair the sag in the floor and install the new sill beam. The patio concrete was repaired neatly with a strip seal drain against the house to catch any water draining toward the house. Nice solution to the the problem. Dan provided the most economical solution to my bowing wall problems, carbon fiber straps for the areas where the wall bowing was less severe and steel beams where the wall bowing was much worse. In comparison to other companies quoted, Dan provided the most repair work for the money and in one case 1/3 less. Dan was able to start work within a week, not months like some companies, and finished the work as indicated, could not have asked for more. When the job was complete the area was cleaned up nicely and the concrete work and sill beam replacement looked great. We are very happy with Dan and would recommend him to anyone needing waterproofing work, most economical, fair, upfront, does what he says and completes the job quickly not over a long period of time."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Penn Hills, PA

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.
