What "specialized" actually means for interior drainage system at our company — not a marketing word, a set of specific practices.
Proper interior drainage design accounts for your basement's specific perimeter length and water table depth, not a generic template.
Crews carry core-cutting equipment and basic drain tile stock, so assessment and the start of installation can often happen on the same visit.
Sump basin and pump costs are itemized separately from the drain tile installation itself.
Because the work stays entirely inside, there's no landscaping disruption, no exterior excavation permit needed in most jurisdictions, and typically a faster completion timeline than exterior alternatives.
Each service below is scoped specifically to interior drainage system, not a generic waterproofing menu with the name swapped in.
We core the slab along the interior perimeter, set perforated drain tile in washed gravel below the new floor level, and route the collected water to a sump basin. New concrete is poured back over the channel, restoring a finished, level floor surface.
This method is faster to install than full drain tile and works well for moderate, consistent seepage rather than significant hydrostatic pressure.
We calculate expected inflow volume based on perimeter length and water table conditions before recommending pump horsepower.
Interior drainage systems address this joint directly, capturing water at the source rather than letting it spread across the floor first.
Freeze-prone discharge routing is addressed for colder months to prevent winter backup.
Here's the exact path from your call to a completed interior drainage install.
A few quick questions about your basement's finished versus unfinished status help us plan for any protective containment needed.
Technicians arrive with moisture meters and measuring equipment to calculate exact linear footage before quoting.
You'll see the full installation plan explained, including where the new floor patch will meet the existing slab.
Interior drainage installations carry a written warranty against seepage failure at the treated perimeter.
