An interior drainage system intercepts groundwater below your slab before it reaches the visible floor surface, with no excavation and no disrupted landscaping — work done entirely from inside.
Call +1-866-476-1348
Four commitments that separate a properly trained interior drainage system crew from a generalist showing up with a truck and a hope.
Proper design accounts for your basement's specific perimeter length and water table depth, not a generic template.
Ongoing seepage means every day without a fix is another day of potential damage.
Sump basin and pump costs are itemized separately from the drain tile installation itself.
Because work stays entirely inside, there's no landscaping disruption 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 collected water to a sump basin. New concrete is poured back over the channel, restoring a finished, level floor.
Faster to install than full drain tile, and works well for moderate, consistent seepage rather than significant hydrostatic pressure.
Every interior system needs a properly sized sump basin and pump at its endpoint — undersizing this undermines the whole system regardless of drain tile quality.
Interior systems address this joint directly, capturing water at the source rather than letting it spread across the floor.
Freeze-prone routing is addressed for colder months to prevent winter backup.
Here's the exact path from your call to a completed interior drainage install.
Active seepage is flagged for priority same-day or next-day scheduling.
Technicians arrive with moisture meters and measuring equipment to calculate exact linear footage before quoting.
The technician measures affected perimeter length, checks existing sump condition if one exists, and calculates the needed slope.
The completed system is tested by verifying flow to the sump basin before the floor patch is finished and the crew leaves.
