"I had a fantastic experience with Dan from Basement Gurus! He helped install a French drain in my basement crawl space, and I couldnâ  t be happier with the results. Not only did he address the drainage issue, but he also sealed off openings under my wood deck that were allowing raccoons to get in. Dan was professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed throughout the process. Highly recommend Basement Gurus for any basement needs!"

"This was the best team of people to work with. They were courteous, friendly, and willing to help me move things out of the way to install a sump pump. The estimate did not include anything unnecessary, I was treated like an intelligent human being, and the cost was great compared to the big companies. They filled in a gap in the floor and cleaned up afterwards too. My basement no longer leaks when it rains!"

"They worked steadily, efficiently. They were respectful of our other furnishings trying to keep the dust and dirt from getting to them. They were pleasant to speak with. They explained a few things when I asked. I would recommend them to anyone that was looking for a company that would deal with their water in the basement problem."

"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!"

"Dave was friendly and very transparent regarding the services provided. It's very apparent that Dave has a passion for fighting black mold due to his experiences. His crew was on-time everyday that the project took place. He specifically said his waterproofing guys would be at my house at 5:45 AM and they sure were despite the super early hour. I didn't experience any problems and I'll be recommending them to anyone that has a black mold problem in their basement."

"We had a good experience with this company performing mold removal and installation of a water proofing system in our basement. They took the extra time to really evaluate the mold and water issues we had in our basement and explained in detail all of our options and the process involved in the resolution. The crew was knowledgeable, and professional. They reviewed the scope of work with us to make sure we were pleased with the process and results. They showed us pictures of the progress, tested the system sump pump in front of us, and went over how everything was put together and how the system will function. They also provide a good comprehensive warranty on the system. We'd recommend this company to anyone out there with similar issues in their basement."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Shippensburg, 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.
