Water in the basement? Standing water in the yard? We install french drains and sump systems that fix it for good, the first time, across the Hershey and Harrisburg area.
The difference between a drain that lasts decades and one that quits in a few years is all in how it is built.
Whether the water is coming through your foundation or sitting in your yard, the fix starts with moving it somewhere it can't hurt your home.
Most french drains that fail and have to be ripped out were installed without filter fabric, with the wrong stone, or at the wrong slope. They clog and quit in a few years. Here is what doing it right looks like:

Most residential french drain projects in the Hershey and Harrisburg area run between $3,000 and $12,000, depending on length, depth, whether it is interior or exterior, and how the water is being discharged. Simple yard drains sit at the low end; full basement perimeter systems with a sump pump sit higher. We give a firm price after a free on-site look, never a vague phone quote.
A correctly installed french drain, with proper filter fabric, clean stone, and the right slope, typically lasts 20 to 30 years or more. That is a general industry range, not a promise about any one job. The french drains that fail early were almost always installed without fabric, with the wrong stone, or at the wrong slope. Done right, it is a one-time fix.
It depends on your home and lot. Exterior drains intercept water before it reaches the foundation and are ideal when there is room to excavate. Interior drains are the practical choice for finished basements, tight urban lots, or homes where outside digging is not feasible. We walk your property and recommend the one that actually solves the problem, not the one that is easiest for us.
Yes. Requesting an estimate here is free and comes with no obligation. A real drainage estimate is done on-site, looking at your grade, your foundation, and where the water is actually coming from, not quoted blind over the phone.
Yes, always. Any contractor you hire for drainage work in Pennsylvania should carry liability insurance and be a registered PA home improvement contractor. Ask for the proof before any work begins. It is a fair question, and a good installer will have a straight answer.
