Interior drainage

Interior basement waterproofing that manages water below grade

An interior system can collect water entering at or below the footing and direct it to a sump. It can be a practical choice when exterior excavation is inaccessible or when the drainage problem extends along a larger perimeter.

THE OBJECTIVE

The plan should account for wall type, finished areas, drainage capacity, pump redundancy, and how the system will be serviced later.

What a complete assessment covers

Look at the house. Then choose the fix.

How it works

Find it. Plan it. Test it.

01

Confirm suitability

Rule out simpler surface, plumbing, and crack-specific causes first.

02

Prepare the perimeter

Open the agreed area and connect drainage to the collection system.

03

Restore and test

Seal the work area, test flow, and review future access points.

Questions before you book

Know what you are buying.

Specific product, warranty, price, and schedule details are confirmed in the written scope.

Can you tell me the right repair before I commit to work?+

That is the purpose of the basement assessment. The visible leak is not always the source, so the assessment looks at drainage, grading, foundation entry points, the sump system, and when the problem occurs before a repair is recommended.

Will I receive a written scope?+

Yes. The proposed repair should identify the area being addressed, the system or materials recommended, what is included, and any warranty terms. Final warranty details must be confirmed by the business owner before publication.

Can I send photos before the assessment?+

Yes. Photos of the leak area, foundation wall, sump pit, discharge line, and the outside grade can help the assessor prepare, but an on-site visit may still be needed to identify the cause.
