Basement Drainage Systems in Kansas City, KS
Most wet basements are drainage failures. Give the water a controlled path out, and the pressure against your walls and floor drops with it.
Interior Drain Tile
An interior perimeter drain sits at the footing along the inside edge of the basement floor. It collects water before it rises onto the floor and carries it to a sump pit, where a pump discharges it safely away from the house. It works regardless of weather and requires no excavation outside.
Exterior Drainage Corrections
Outside, the goal is to keep water from ever reaching the wall. That can mean regrading soil so it slopes away from the foundation, extending downspouts well past the backfill zone, repairing or replacing failed footing drains, and adding French drains where surface water collects.
Sizing the System to Your Lot
Clay soil, lot slope, roof area, and where your neighbors' water goes all affect the design. The inspection maps where water comes from and where it can safely go, so the system is built for your property rather than a template.
Signs You Need Better Drainage
