How We Install French Drain Systems We take a strategic approach based on decades of experience for lasting results. The Basement Doctor installs French drain systems by excavating the lowest-lying area of your lawn, where water accumulates first. We then connect this system directly to your sump pump via crush-proof piping. Once installed, this system will protect your foundation for years to come.

He even helped move some heavy boxes we could not lift so he could check our pumps. We highly recommend the Basement Doctor. Susan Armstrong 2025-01-21 They provide excellent service and keep you informed during the entire process. We recommend them highly! Esther Salem 2024-12-04 The technician was very polite, efficient, neat and clean. He made certain everything inside and outside of the house was working properly. He discovered a pump, that he installed last year, was not working as effectively as he would like and immediately replaced it under warranty. I highly recommend this company, and their employees. George Cole 2024-11-18 The technician (Lee Conway) arrived early and was ready to go right to work. Actually Lee installed a new pump this time last year on my service visit; he did an amazing job.
