Why Your Neighbors Choose RoLik Plumbing for Drain Installation
We Know These Massachusetts Streets Like the Back of Our Hands
Look, we’re not some big corporate chain that shows up, does the job, and disappears. RoLik Plumbing is rooted right here in the community. Our kids went to Newton North and South. We grab coffee at Quebrada in Wellesley. We know that the soil near Crystal Lake is different from what you’ll find near Brookline’s Fisher Hill, and we adjust our drain installation approach accordingly.
When Mrs. Peterson from Waban called us last spring about her flooding basement, we didn’t just install a drain we understood that her home, built in 1923, needed special care. That personal touch? That’s the RoLik difference.
Our installation process is thorough: careful site prep, precise trenching or wall-access work, professional pipe fitting, pressure and leak testing, and careful backfill and restoration. We coordinate with you on timeline and access, keep the work area contained, and communicate every step so there are no surprises.

French Drain Installation: Our Specialty and Your Solution
Let's Talk About French Drains (Without the Confusing Jargon
At RoLik Plumbing, french drain installation is honestly what we do best. If you’ve been searching for “french drain installation near me” or wondering about “french drain installation cost,” let me break it down for you in plain English.
A French drain is basically a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that redirects water away from your home. Simple concept, but the magic is in the execution. We’ve installed hundreds of these systems across Newton, from the hills of Chestnut Hill to the flatter areas near Newton Corner. Each one is unique because each property is unique just like the families we serve.
Real Talk About French Drain Installation Cost
People often hesitate to call about french drain installation services because they’re worried about cost. Here’s the honest truth from RoLik Plumbing: a typical french drain installation for a Newton, Wellesley, or Brookline home runs between $3,000 and $8,000. Yes, that’s an investment. But let me share something last month, we helped a family in Wellesley Hills who had waited too long and ended up with $30,000 in foundation repairs.When you call RoLik at (617) 777-5491, we’ll give you a straight answer about costs. No hidden fees, no surprises. Just honest pricing from honest folks.
How We Install French Drains (And Why DIY Usually Isn't Worth It)
I know many of you search “how to install french drain” thinking you might tackle it yourself. Hey, we respect the DIY spirit! But here’s what 38 years of installing a french drain has taught us: Massachusetts soil doesn’t play nice. Between the clay, the rocks, and the freeze-thaw cycles, what looks simple on YouTube becomes a weekend nightmare pretty quickly.Here’s how the RoLik Plumbing team handles your french drains installation:First, We Listen and Look Before we touch a shovel, we walk your property with you. Where does water pool after storms? Is it worse during snowmelt? We’ve learned that homeowners know their properties best, and your observations matter.
Then We Plan (With You) We’ll explain exactly what we’re planning to do. No confusing technical talk just clear explanations. Whether we’re installing near your kids’ swing set or around your prized rose garden in Brookline, you’ll know every step.
Installation Day Our crew (the same friendly faces you’ll see each time) arrives on time. We protect your lawn, work efficiently, and clean up completely. Most french drain install projects take 1-3 days, depending on length and complexity. The RoLik Follow-Up This is what really sets us apart. We don’t just instal french drain systems and disappear. We check in after the first big rain. Everything working? Any questions? That’s the RoLik way.
