Specializing in inside basement waterproofing for block, poured and field stone foundation wall.
Interior drain tile systems are the preferred basement waterproofing solution when water seeps in under cove joints and through fine cracks in the basement walls.
Caused by the hydrostatic pressure of the foundation and the soil pushing against each other, these leaks can be difficult to seal or plug, making a drainage system a more effective basement waterproofing option.
The systems are composed of a series of drainage tubes installed into drainage ditches under the basement floor that are permanently covered over.
Water that would have seeped in through cove joints, through cracks in the walls, or up under the floor is diverted into the drainage ditches, then into the tubes and into the sump drain.
With a sealed basement floor and no more water seeping in, the end result is a dry basement with no leaks or further moisture problems.
