An interior drainage system is one of the most effective ways to control basement water in Ohio homes. Installed along the inside perimeter of your basement floor, it collects water that seeps in through the walls or floor joints and channels it directly to your sump pump.
This prevents pooling, reduces hydrostatic pressure on the foundation, and helps maintain a dry, usable basement. Interior drainage is often preferred because it can be installed year-round, doesn’t disturb landscaping, and works seamlessly with sump pumps and wall sealing for long-term protection.
Installing an interior drainage system is one of the least disruptive yet most effective waterproofing methods for Ohio homes. Our crew works from inside the basement, meaning no heavy excavation of landscaping or driveways.
We cut a narrow trench along the interior perimeter, install perforated piping, and direct water to a sump pump that safely removes it from the home. The trench is sealed with fresh concrete, leaving a clean finish and long-term protection against seepage.

Yes. The system is hidden under the floor perimeter, making it ideal for protecting finished spaces. It keeps carpets, walls, and furniture safe from water damage.
No. Interior drainage is installed beneath the floor edge, then resealed with concrete. Once finished, you won’t see or lose usable space in your basement.
Very little. The main component to monitor is your sump pump, which should be inspected annually. Regular maintenance ensures long-term, worry-free protection.
Most interior drainage systems are installed within a few days, depending on the basement size. After installation, the concrete floor is restored, leaving a clean, finished appearance.
Yes. Properly installed systems collect and remove water before it can accumulate. Combined with a sump pump, they prevent flooding even during heavy Ohio rainstorms.
Not always — it depends on your home’s needs. Interior drainage is less invasive, cost-effective, and works year-round, making it ideal for most Ohio basements. Exterior drainage is usually reserved for severe water pressure or new construction.
Interior drainage systems are installed inside your basement along the perimeter floor. They capture water as it seeps in through walls or floor joints and channel it into a sump pump for safe discharge. This method keeps your basement dry without major excavation or yard disruption.
