Wet Basement? A French Drain Could Be the Permanent Fix You Need

Water seeping into basements and crawlspaces isn’t just inconvenient - it leads to mold, structural damage, and long-term foundation problems. In areas like Queens, Brooklyn, and Nassau County, where soil saturation and poor drainage are common, a properly installed French drain can protect your home or building from costly repairs.

Signs You Need a French Drain:

  • Water pooling near your basement walls or foundation

  • Damp spots on concrete floors or basement walls

  • Sump pump running constantly but not solving the issue

  • Mold or mildew smells in lower levels

  • Foundation cracks appearing after storms

  • Water marks or efflorescence (white powder) on basement walls

  • Repeated water cleanup or failed DIY waterproofing attempts

At Superior Restoration & Remodeling, Inc., we perform full property assessments to determine whether an interior or exterior French drain is right for your space. From high water tables to sloped yards, we’ve solved water intrusion issues in hundreds of NYC and Long Island properties.

Our French Drain Installation Process

Our process includes:

  • Step 1: Drainage Inspection & Site Assessment
    We evaluate groundwater pressure, foundation layout, grading, and existing waterproofing systems to determine the best drain placement and type.

  • Step 2: Excavation & Trenching
    Our team carefully excavates along foundation walls or interior perimeters, protecting your slab, footings, and surrounding landscape.

  • Step 3: Drain Pipe & Aggregate Installation
    We install perforated pipe surrounded by clean gravel and geotextile fabric to ensure long-term water flow without clogging.

  • Step 4: Optional Sump Pump or Gravity Discharge
    Based on your elevation, we’ll connect the French drain to a sump system or allow gravity to carry the water safely away from the structure.

  • Step 5: Backfill & Finish
    We restore flooring, landscaping, or concrete surfaces and seal any waterproofing layers to keep moisture out for good.
