"I hired them to repair a crack in my basement wall that had a small leak. They were very professional. They filled the crack with foam injections and backed their work with a 5-year transferrable warranty. I had discussed this with other companies that wanted to charge me thousands of dollars and dig up my foundation for a little crack. These guys were good, quick, efficient and helpful. They gave me other tips for finishing my basement while they were there. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend them."

Our crew of Tim (Foreman), Marq, Jayshawn, and Devon worked diligently to install a new drainage system and support beam for the house, spending late nights to get the job done.

"The crew were hard workers and got my basement waterproofed in only five days - I was pretty amazed at how fast they worked. Expert responds very quickly to all inquiries and it is very obvious that they care about the quality of their work and making sure their customers are satisified. It was costly, but it is fabulous to have a completely dry basement when it rains!"

"It went extremely well. Nova Basement sent someone out who assessed our problem and proposed a solution. The work was done within one day and we haven't had a leak since. A month after the work was done, our area had the heaviest 24-hour rainfall on record. Our basement stayed bone-dry."

"We recently moved to a 95 yr old home. We were told we had a dry basement when in fact we did not. We looked in to basement waterproofing with a couple different companies but the scope of the work and the cost didn’t feel like the right solution. We had Don come out and he was very knowledgeable, professional and very courteous. He recommended some things that the other companies did not. He actually talked us out of mor expensive fixes. He said he believes in starting with the least intrusive, least expensive options first. His solutions worked for us. We would 10/10 recommend Don and his crew at Foundation Doctors LLC."

"Because I knew the problem I had was due to eaves trough overflow and not a ground water problem, I selected Great Lakes exterior sealing process before contacting them for an estimate. The representative who gave the estimate was very professional and efficient and the proposed cost was much less than I expected. The day the technician came to do the waterproofing, was so cold the equipment was frozen and could not process the material. There was 2 feet of snow on the ground also but he was undeterred and tried to thaw his equipment anyway. He was unsuccessful and had to schedule to return in two weeks. Before he left that day, he patched the cracks and holes inside the basement to be ready for the material to be pressured into the ground. Upon the return there was more snow but the temperature was lower. The job was completed within a couple hours despite needing to shovel a path around the house through 2 - 3 feet of snow. The outcome is that the basement has not leaked at all even though we have had all that snow melting and a couple early spring heavy rains."

"To begin, I was very happy this 24-hour service plumber responded to my calls last night. I had a sump pump that wasn't working when I got home, and it had partially flooded the basement. Not knowing what to do, I called several plumbers in the area that I found on Angie's List, and only two responded. The plumber with whom I talked from Randall & Sons was polite and knowledgeable. They also offered a better price and immediate scheduling. Today, he came on time, diagnosed the problem as a failed sump pump, left to get the supplies he needed, and replaced it, all in less than an hour. The only complaint I have is that he dirtied it up a little bit down there; however, it's not a big issue, as I was planning to clean all the floors after the partial flooding. I would definitely call these guys again. <br />"

FAQs for basement drainage channels installation projects in Walkerton, IN

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.
