French Drain Installation Contractor in Villanova, PA

Villanova has many gorgeous, historic homes in the area. These houses are full of charm and delightful to live in, but they often causes the homeowner to experience a few extra headaches one wouldn’t find with a brand new house. One the problem associated with an older home is a leaking basement.

If this is happening to you, you probably need for it to be waterproofed. But what exactly does that mean? One way this waterproofing is done is with a French Drain. To install this kind of drain, the perimeter of the basement floor is jackhammered down to the footing and the concrete is removed. A layer of stone is laid down, and a perforated drain pipe is laid on top of it. Water is collected from the basement wall floor joint as it enters, and a pump is installed to remove water from the house and away from the foundation.
