"It went well. They are being professional in their follow-up as they are trying to have us install an expensive basement drainage/pumping system. We haven't decided yet, as it will be part of our basement gut/rehab project."

"Had a main line clog that shut down all my bathrooms. Garett came out quickly and was able to solve the problem quickly. Garetts work was neat and made me feel like I was in good hands. Definitely would recommend again!"

"The Fellowship Team recently installed a new boiler system for me and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Replacing a primary heating system is a major investment, but this team made the entire process stress-free. The installation was incredibly clean. The technicians routed the new piping with surgical precision, ensuring everything was tidy, secure, and easy to access for future maintenance. Since the install, my home reaches the target temperature much faster than before, and the unit runs so quietly I barely notice it?s on. I?m already seeing the benefits in my lower monthly energy bills. The crew arrived on schedule, was sure to not damage anything, and clearly explained how to use the new digital thermostat before they left. They treated my home with genuine respect. It is rare to see this level of dedication to quality. If you need a reliable, high-performing heating system installed by pros who actually care about the details, look no further. Highly recommended"

"I requested a callback through HomeAdvisor and they called me back within an hour. They scheduled me for the following morning. Rob and Paul came down, assessed the problem in 2 minutes, and grabbed me a quote. Shortly after, they went to get the materials and finished the installation in about 2 hours. My issue was a leaking tub spout due to a defective shower valve. They replaced the shower valve and all in-tub fixtures (tub spout, water knob, etc.) A bit expensive in my opinion, but everything is shooting up in price lately. The work was excellent quality and I don't regret going with Rooterman. I'll definitely be calling them back if I have other needs in the future."

"I had done some research on waterproofing our basement back in 2015 which is when I first met Jason at Drycrete. The cost of a French drain is never cheap and we decided to wait and hold off. Compared to any of the other 3 companies we looked at Jason was the only one who was not a sleazy sales guy just trying to get a sale. He is the owner is actually there on the job with his crew getting the work done which is what we want to see. We want to have the owner there inspecting the work before the concrete goes in. Jason is very knowledgeable and advised us that he can put in just a sump pump but can see that it wouldn't alleviate the water issue. Matter of fact coming back later to attach a French drain would make it more expensive. He was willing to go either way but the fact that there was no pressuring on his part was really reassuring. He and his team came out for half a day one day to start the job and were very clean and courteous of our brick patio ensuring that no cement or residue stains were left behind. He explained how the french drain works and how to monitor its output. One thing which was great was the fact that it was raining quite a bit in the days prior to the install so we were able to see the pump at work. In addition the pump that Jason installed monitors the output daily and if it ever kicks in to the back up battery. So far we are very pleased! I haven't seen any water come into the house and hopefully this will allow us to get our basement done soon"

"Excellent service. I now feel secure knowing that my sump pump will go on if the power goes off. Unfortunately, I didn’t install the battery backup before the March storms. After Global had done several jobs for me in the past, I thought I was finally going to live without water in my basement but Mother Nature had other ideas. Luckily Bob came to my rescue rather quickly after the flooding. Now I KNOW I’ll be water-free. Bob has never tried to pressure me into buying something I don’t need or can’t afford but I wish I had bought the battery years ago when he first told me about it. I won’t make that mistake again. Cost-wise, Bob will break down the requested work into separate jobs and estimate each so I can make a decision if I can afford all of the work or only some of it. I don't think I've ever worked with a service provider who either answers his phone immediately or calls back promptly. Bob has always kept our appointments, except once when another customer had an emergency. He said he was willing to come over later after hours if I needed him that day. We set up another day for my job, as rescheduling was not a problem for me. I really appreciated that he didn't leave me hanging by not showing up or not calling, like a lot of service providers do. Bob cares about his customers and I’m happy to recommend him and his company."

"When we discovered our main drain was clogged up and leaking sewage water at 8pm on a Sunday night,we called Diffley. A technician arrived within the hour, cleared the drain and was a very professional and pleasant person to talk to while he performed this pretty gross task. We were pleased with the customer service and the passion for which the technician said that he strived to maintain the same values as the founder, Mr. Diffley, who had recently passed on in the days before our service call. I think Mr. Diffley would be proud of this technician and how great he was.  <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Providence, RI

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.
