"Very professional and friendly. They did a great job cleaning up and drying out our basement after a severe storm flooded it. They worked with us so that we could save some money by doing some little things ourselves. We would highly recommend their services if needed."

"The employees that arrived to do the work were good workers. They were either unaware of the contracted work or mislead. They were not going to install the J Channel per the service agreement, and they had planned to backfill the ditch with the earth they had removed. The contract called for the ditch to be filled to surface with gravel. The installers called the office and explained that a J Channel was agreed on and someone from the office delivered it to satisfy my request. They were going to install the J Channel in segments vs one solid piece across the length of the ditch. I told them the segment seems would allow the water to get thru the J Channel and weep thru our foundation once more. They did the work as I requested but had I not been there or had I been a customer that did not know any better, this job would not have been done correctly or as agreed upon in the contract."

"Project: Repair sagging floor joists, installed footings, gravel and smart jacks. They were done in a few hours. They stared on time, kept in contact with us by email, phone and text. Will use them again if we have any other basement needs. Review by Leo C. in Dallas, Pa."

"Dan, the owner, is an awesome guy. Only company that came out to give us an estimate and wasn t an obvious salesman. He was honest and helpful and came prepared. He needed to install an extra carbon strap to our cracked basement wall and that wasn t in the quote but he still added another. Appreciated that his crew wiped up, floors, and wall in kitchen. Will definitely spread word of mouth and appreciate his thoroughness."

"My experience working with Basement Gurus, especially Phil Thistle, was fantastic. Phil and the crew were very thoughtful and responsive from the moment I called basement gurus until the moment my installation in my basement was complete. I greatly appreciated how dedicated Phil was in answering my questions and checking in with me regularly about my concerns and how the job was going throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend basement gurus for your waterproofing needs!"

"The master bath had to be completely gutted to the studs. It was redesigned to include a double vanity, large walk-in shower and private toilet area. The demolition crew shrink-wrapped the stairs leading to the second floor and cut 2 large pieces of the bedroom carpet which was being replaced to cover the wood flooring outside the bedroom to prevent damage. They removed everything from ceiling to floor and cleaned and vacuumed when they finished for the day. Each contractor that came into the house worked with the same care. They kept the bedroom door closed to keep dust from entering the rest of the house. They consulted with us to ensure where things were being placed met with our approval. They were all polite and respectful. It was obvious that each tradesman was proud of his work. We had a piece of stained glass we wanted inserted into the closet door with a transom above it for light. They took a flush door, inserted the glass and framed panels on it to give the same design as the rest of the doors in the room. From our initial contact with Tom who evaluated the job and worked up the quote to the final payment we can only say good things. Tom was always accessible. There was someone here working on the job nearly every day with just a few exceptions and the estimate was right in the ballpark at completion. We are so happy we chose Burke Construction, LLC and would recommend them 100%."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Pocono Lake, 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.
