The suburban sprawl of Lower Paxton Township, including Colonial Park, Paxtonia, and Linglestown, is dominated by split-levels and ranches built from the 1960s through the 1980s. These homes commonly have aging perimeter drains and graded lots that have settled over time, sending water back toward the foundation. Re-establishing proper drainage with a modern french drain is one of the most common jobs we do in the township.
We serve all of Lower Paxton & Linglestown, including Colonial Park, Paxtonia, Linglestown, and the developments along Jonestown Road. Every estimate is free and done on-site so the price reflects your actual home, not a phone guess.
We're local to the region, we install drainage the way it lasts (proper slope, clean stone, real filter fabric, a genuine discharge plan), and we back our work. Whether it's a wet basement or a yard that never dries out, we'll find where the water is coming from and stop it.

Most residential french drain projects in the Hershey and Harrisburg 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 and clean stone typically lasts 20 to 30 years or more. The failures we get called to fix are almost always from drains 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.
