Renewal is a local, family owned and operated business. We have over 20 years of residential construction and remodeling experience. We strive to provide 5 star service to all of our customers while keeping prices below the local averages. To us, if a customer is not willing to call us back for another job or refer us to family and friends, we did not do our job

"Renewal went above and beyond for our project. There were a ton of complications due to how our house was built (back in the 60s) but Chris at renewal worked for 9 days straight to get it done as soon as possible, and we weren’t charged anything more for the extra time. The shower looks awesome and we are very happy. "

Foundation Drain Installation questions, answered by experts

French drains are relatively straightforward and cost-effective ways to keep the pressure of standing water from affecting your foundation and remove standing water from your landscape. The installation should last between 30 and 40 years, all the while redistributing both underground and surface water safely away from your home. 

When paired with proper basement waterproofing, a drain protects your home from long-term damage and major flooding during large storms.

Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.

Using filter fabric is highly recommended because it helps prevent debris and sediment from clogging the drain. It’s best to use a non-woven geotextile landscape fabric for your French drain because it is designed to allow water to flow through but not soil particles and other debris. It’s durable and long-lasting, which is why it’s the top choice for French drains.

You might need a permit to modify or repair any portion of your plumbing system, including drainage lines, depending on where you live. In some areas, simple replacements of existing drain lines don’t require a permit. We recommend asking your drain pipe installer or your local building department about permitting requirements. In many cases, only certified plumbers can pull plumbing permits, so you’ll usually need to leave the permit application to your professional. The fee for the permit will be passed to you on your project bill, though.

Gravity can make it difficult to make plumbing work in a garage if your plumbing is lower than your drainage point. Fortunately, there are ways to create drainage when adding a bathroom to a sunken garage. Plumbers will recommend using an upflush system that discharges into a pump from the back of the toilet.
