Campbelltown sits in South Londonderry Township between Palmyra and Hershey, a suburban pocket of mostly post-war and newer homes. Settled grading and aging perimeter drainage are the usual culprits when basements and yards here start holding water. A modern french drain restores the slope water needs to flow away from the house.
Not every wet basement is a drainage problem, and not every drainage problem is solved by one drain. Basement waterproofing in Campbelltown covers the whole set: interior and exterior drain tile, a sump pump with a battery backup, waterproof membranes and wall coatings, window well and floor drains, and repair of the cracks the water is coming through. Which combination your home needs depends on where the water is actually getting in, across the village center and the developments along Horseshoe Pike toward Palmyra and Hershey. That is what the free on-site look is for.
We serve all of Campbelltown, including the village center and the developments along Horseshoe Pike toward Palmyra and Hershey. Every estimate is free and done on-site so the price reflects your actual home, not a phone guess. Most projects in Campbelltown land between $3,000 and $12,000.

Local to the region and focused on drainage the way it lasts: proper slope, clean stone, real filter fabric, and a genuine discharge plan. Whether it is a wet basement or a yard that never dries out, the goal is to find where the water is coming from and stop it.

Most residential french drain projects in the Hershey, Harrisburg, and Lancaster 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.
