Redirecting Water Before It Damages Your Basement

What Is an Interior Drainage System?

An interior drainage system is one of the most effective ways to control basement water. 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 stops water from pooling, reduces 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 integrates seamlessly with other waterproofing measures.

Efficient, Low-Impact Solutions for a Dry Basement

Our Interior Drainage Installation Process

Installing an interior drainage system is one of the least disruptive yet most effective waterproofing methods. Our crew works from inside the basement, which means no digging up your landscaping or driveway.

We cut a narrow trench along the basement perimeter, install perforated piping, and direct water into a sump pump that safely removes it from the home. Once complete, the trench is resealed with concrete for a clean, finished look.

Process Steps:

  1. Inspection & Planning Identify leak points and design a custom drainage route.
  2. Perimeter Trench Creation Carefully cut and remove a strip of concrete near the walls.
  3. Drain Tile Installation Place perforated piping with gravel backfill to collect water.
  4. Sump Pump Integration Connect the drainage line to a sump pump system.
  5. Concrete Restoration Reseal the trench with fresh concrete for a seamless finish.
  6. Final Testing Ensure proper water flow and system functionality.

Everything You Need to Know About Basement Drainage

Interior Drainage FAQs

How does an interior drainage system work?

It collects water seeping through basement walls and floors into a hidden trench, then channels it to a sump pump that safely discharges it away from the home.

Is it better than exterior drainage?

Interior systems are often less expensive, faster to install, and require no excavation. They’re especially effective for finished basements.

Will I need to replace my flooring?

In most cases, flooring along the basement perimeter is temporarily removed and then reinstalled or replaced, depending on condition.

How long does installation take?

Most systems are installed in 1–2 days with minimal disruption.

Does interior drainage require maintenance?

Yes – sump pumps should be inspected annually to ensure proper function.

How long will an interior drainage system last?

With proper installation and routine sump pump maintenance, interior drainage systems can last for decades without issues.

Can interior drainage help prevent foundation cracks?

Yes. By reducing hydrostatic pressure around basement walls, these systems minimize stress that causes cracking and structural movement.

Will installing interior drainage affect basement finishing plans?

No. Systems are designed to sit below the floor slab and are easily integrated before finishing or remodeling your basement.
