French drain systems
A perimeter drain installed below the slab collects water at the wall-floor joint before it reaches the living space and carries it to the sump basin. Designed to resist clogging from soil and mud, it is the backbone of an interior system.
Key takeaways
- Our waterproofing systems are built from proven components: interior and exterior French drain systems, sump pumps with battery backup, and code-compliant egress windows.
- A perimeter drain installed below the slab collects water at the wall-floor joint before it reaches the living space and carries it to the sump basin.
- On the outside of the foundation, we set perforated drain pipe in washed gravel at footing depth, wrapped in filter fabric, to intercept groundwater and snowmelt before it ever reaches the wall.
- Free on-site inspection, written fixed price, and warrantied installation by our own crews.
Exterior French drains
On the outside of the foundation, we set perforated drain pipe in washed gravel at footing depth, wrapped in filter fabric, to intercept groundwater and snowmelt before it ever reaches the wall. The line discharges to daylight or a sump so water is carried away from the home.

Sump pumps and battery backup
A properly sized sump pump moves collected water away from the home. A battery backup pump takes over during outages, and a data logger records pump cycles so you can see how the system performs through the season.
Egress and replacement windows
Egress windows bring code-compliant light and emergency exit to a basement bedroom, and replacement basement windows stop the leaks and rot common in old steel and wood units.
