"I hired Highlander to install a channel drain in front of garage to keep it from getting water in it. The guy showed up with his 16 year old son and dug the trench and laid the pipe very shallowly and left a large open hole in front of my driveway, that was one issue. The second issue was there was no slope to to the pipe. It is straight so the water is not actually draining. The third issue was they cemented the grates onto the the channel drain when they are supposed to be removable so you can clean it. They did correct that and the hole near the driveway they patched with stone, but it is still not pitched properly and the concrete was cracking almost immediately after drying, I asked for the salesman to come back and look at it and asked him if it looked professional, because it didn?t to me or my stepfather who does concrete for a living, and his response was that it did. Well, less than an a year and grates are popping up because the concrete is completely cracked."

"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"

Basement drainage channels installations FAQs
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.
