Q: What's the difference between a channel drain and a French drain?

• <div><p>While both a channel drain and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-french-drain.htm">French drain</a> serve a similar purpose, a French drain is designed to prevent groundwater from causing flooding issues. This type of drain system goes underneath the soil and is completely surrounded by soil and rock. A channel drain, also called a trench drain, removes surface water before it ever enters the ground&mdash;hence the concrete and above-ground installation method.</p></div>

Q: Can you live in a damp basement?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to live in a damp basement, it&rsquo;s usually not healthy to do so. Damp air affects your breathing, and it also promotes mold growth and pest infestation that can make living in a damp basement dangerous. You should plan to resolve any moisture issues and set up preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.</p></div>

Q: Will waterproofing my basement add to the value of my home?

• <div><p>Although waterproofing your basement may not directly increase the value of your home, it will protect the value you already have by preventing water damage. A basement without any signs of water will be more appealing to prospective home buyers. A leaky basement is a major red flag during a home inspection, and it will likely reduce the amount that buyers are willing to pay.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix a concrete drainage problem?

• <div><p>Water that pools on concrete indicates a low spot somewhere on your driveway. You can level the slab with a concrete patching compound to help redirect water. You can also install drainage over existing concrete by digging out enough space for a channel drain or French drain or by adding a culvert below the slab.</p></div>

Originally, they surmised that the leak was outside under the yard, but one gentleman pulled rank and said the leak was under my slab. Thus, they tore up part of the slab, but no leak was to be found. Ultimately, they found the leak where they had originally thought it would be and repaired it.

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts

While both a channel drain and a French drain serve a similar purpose, a French drain is designed to prevent groundwater from causing flooding issues. This type of drain system goes underneath the soil and is completely surrounded by soil and rock. A channel drain, also called a trench drain, removes surface water before it ever enters the ground—hence the concrete and above-ground installation method.

While it’s possible to live in a damp basement, it’s usually not healthy to do so. Damp air affects your breathing, and it also promotes mold growth and pest infestation that can make living in a damp basement dangerous. You should plan to resolve any moisture issues and set up preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

Location
Square footage
Cause of the water leak
Type of foundation
Accessibility
Waterproofing method
Materials
Contractor experience and availability
Engineering reports, if needed
Structural and other repairs
Permits

Although waterproofing your basement may not directly increase the value of your home, it will protect the value you already have by preventing water damage. A basement without any signs of water will be more appealing to prospective home buyers. A leaky basement is a major red flag during a home inspection, and it will likely reduce the amount that buyers are willing to pay.

Water that pools on concrete indicates a low spot somewhere on your driveway. You can level the slab with a concrete patching compound to help redirect water. You can also install drainage over existing concrete by digging out enough space for a channel drain or French drain or by adding a culvert below the slab.
