"Absolutely wonderful experience dealing with everyone from the company. As much as no one wants to deal with water leaking into their basement, these folks made the experience as easy and pleasurable as possible. Everyone was extremely pleasant and professional, and they completed the work ahead of schedule for me. They did an excellent job for us, and I would not hesitate in contacting them again (even though I hope I don't have to, as no one wants water leaking into their basement). I cannot say enough nice things about these folks, and would highly recommend them to anyone."

"My husband and I are looking to re-do our basement and install new flooring. We were worried we had leaks/water problems in the basement and scheduled an estimate with Always Waterproofing & Concrete Services to see what the damage is and what we'd have to save up to pay for waterproofing. Jonathan was our evaluator. He was so helpful and focused on assessing the problem over making a sale. Turns out we may not even need waterproofing but instead better ventilation! He advised us that because he didn't see any concerning spots, we should first take up the sub-floor so we can really see what is going on underneath as far as flooding etc. Great customer service, wonderful attitude. You can tell the company cares for your home when they"re more focused on making the proper assessment as opposed to simply making a sale. We'll definitely be referring friends and will call back if we ever need any waterproofing/concrete work. Thanks, Jonathan!"

"I needed my outdoor shower/bath plumbing redirected due to a collapsed pipe. Zach diagnosed the problem and offered two options depending on what he found. He arrived on time and got the job done in a day and cleaned up well. Overall a really good experience."

"I'm an out-of-town owner of a single family home investment property in New Castle, DE. For years the house suffered from water penetrating the basement. My current tenants, rightfully so, complained about the water leaking into the basement.......so it was time for me to finally get the issue resolved. I researched service providers & came across Basement Pros through Angie's list. I called to schedule an estimate, then drove into town on the scheduled day & met Todd (Operations Director) at the property. Todd did a thorough assessment of the site and provided a straightforward explanation of their solution, and provided me with an estimate on the spot. I ended up going with the Basement Pros proposal: Install sub-floor drainage system, install sump pump, install window wells & drains. Todd advised me this would be a 2-day job, & also let me know what I needed to have my tenants (family of 5) do to prepare for the work. The adult heads-of-household use a portion of the basement as their bedroom, & the basement also contains a bathroom, laundry/HVAC area, & multiple storage areas. I did my best to prepare my tenants for what I described as "significant work", but in the end they believe I somehow failed them. Here's what is most important.........Basement Pros completed the job in 2 days, just as they said they would. All work was performed as expected. In my mind, everything went as planned. However, as my tenant described it, "the aftermath of the job was not pretty." Since I do live out of town, I did not see the end result firsthand, but some of the things being said by my tenant lead me to believe they were being......shall I say......a bit dramatic. ONE WEEK AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETED, MY TENANTS STILL CLAIMED THEIR LIVES WERE IN TURMOIL BECAUSE OF THE WORK DONE. I just could not relate, sorry. Unfortunately, communication between my tenants & myself really went south, & the relationship quickly soured. So, what was supposed to be a very positive event (getting a dry basement), was now an extremely negative event. And to be clear, NOT because of anything done by Basement Pros. A week after the work was completed, I ended up contacting Basement Pros again & shared my tenants' concerns with Todd. Almost immediately, I was contacted by the company's owner, Mike Ward, who assured me he would contact my tenants to review/address their concerns. The next day, Mike & Todd returned to the property & met with my tenant. These guys addressed any remaining concerns & went "above & beyond" to satisfy my tenant. Knowingly jumping into the middle of drama between a property owner & tenant is not easy, nor appealing. Basement Pros handled it all with professionalism & class. They are top notch! I highly recommend Basement Pros."

"After moving into my home, I realized water was coming into my basement. I had three companies come out to provide estimates to waterproof the basement. Allstate's salesperson, Mitch, was very, very personable, knowledgeable and I felt like he really listened to me during the estimate process. Mitch brought pictures with him to show me as well as the company's certifications. Allstate's price was in the middle of the pack of three estimates. Mitch's preparedness was what won me over. Allstate came to my home to install a French drain (along two walls of the basement) and install a sump pump. The workers arrived promptly at 8am, had the containment up in the basement, and were jack hammering by 8:20. About midway through the project, Mitch stopped by to check and see how things were going. As previously stated, I don't have any complaints about the workers what-so-ever. They even stopped worked twice so I could come down to the basement to take pictures of water and mold damage. For the water intrusion and mold in my basement to have been such a traumatic experience, Allstate certainly made the nightmare better than bearable."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Powellville, MD

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.
