"BS company. Offers a free inspection and all you get is an estimate of repairs. I am selling a home. Buyer wanted an inspection. He didn’t want to pay anything so he called Bakers. Crawlspace was bone dry after 3 days of rain. Instead of a report saying that, I get a list of recommendations. Addition of a moisture mitigation system. There is already a working system in the space. Remove the insulation under the floors. Yeah. Expose all the water piping to freezing temperatures. Insulate the walls of the crawlspace. So, you want to remove good insulation and add it to the walls in an unheated space. I wanted an inspection not a sales pitch. Worthless company. I should sue if the realty deal falls through due to this"

"Can’t say enough good things about Mike! Requested a quote through Angie’s List and heard back from him within 24 hours. We had water coming into our basement during hard rain due to not having window wells installed and we wanted to get them put in ASAP. Mike came by to take a look the day he called and he fit us in the next day. He and my husband did the work together which saved a lot of time and money. Mike was extremely positive, enthusiastic, and generally a pleasure to be around! We have a few more jobs around the house we need done and will definitely be calling him again."

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in State College, PA

French drains can last between 30 and 40 years, offering long-term protection for your home's foundation. They work by diverting both underground and surface water away from your property, helping prevent water buildup and structural damage. Opting for models with cloth filters can extend the drain's durability even further. Regular maintenance and professional installation ensure your system works efficiently for decades.

You can install a French drain anywhere from two feet below ground to the level of your foundation's footings. If you're dealing with surface water like rain or snowmelt, a shallow drain might suffice. But if you're concerned about groundwater, you'll need a deeper drain inside your home. Contractors typically install interior perimeter drains beneath the basement floor's concrete.

Yes, interior French drains are very effective at preventing flooding and water damage in your home. When properly installed, they channel moisture away from your structure. If the perimeter pipe ever clogs, a plumber can easily access it for repairs. To maximize efficiency, it's essential to combine an interior French drain with a sump pump, which helps redirect water away from your home.

Certified professionals install French drains to ensure they work properly. You can hire foundation specialists, licensed plumbers, or experienced landscapers—all have the expertise and tools needed for proper installation. They design systems that redirect water safely away from your property. By trusting a qualified expert, you ensure your French drain will perform well and protect your home for the long term.

After installing a French drain, you should take a few steps to keep it working well. First, repair any areas of your lawn or garden that were disturbed during installation—this might include reseeding grass or replanting flowers. If you had the drain installed in your basement, consider upgrading your waterproofing for extra protection. Finally, schedule regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the system continues diverting water efficiently and protecting your property over time.
