A lot of homeowners want to know how and why water is able to get into their home in the first place. Water always finds the path of least resistance, and this may be over the top of the foundation, through leaking window wells, through wall or floor cracks, through the cove joint (where the wall meets the floor), or it could even be caused from a plumbing problem below the home, such as a pipe leak.

Systems and Products

Interior Drain

Our interior drain pipe comes with our complete package that allows water to seep into the pipe and move water out from underneath home. It first gathers all of the water from beneath the floor and then, using a mix of gravity and angling the pipes correctly, water is quickly directed out and away from your home. Interior drain works exceptionally well with a well graded yard that slopes appropriately.

Draintile System

Draintile can work to stop seepage and other leaks. These drain tiles can be installed around the footing of your foundation. They drain water from around and underneath your basement so that it doesn't pool up inside your home. Our draintile system are perforated, meaning that they have holes, to allow water to get inside. They are installed in a bed of stone or small gravel which will help water drain into the pipe. This system doesn't just drain water around your foundation, it can also help to reduce hydrostatic pressure in the soil, reduce humidity levels and prevent the growth of mold and harmful bacteria. This makes draintile the best drain system available, and affordable, for your family.

Yard Drains

A yard drain prevents water from building up next to your foundation wall, draining it outwards away from your home. This system keeps hydrostatic pressure from building up against your walls which later causes wall cracks, bowed walls, which eventually leads to leaks through these openings. Yard drainage is a number one preventative measure and repair method.

Sump Pump System

Our sump pump is designed to direct any excess water through a drain pipe connected to your plumbing system. This allows extra water due to rain or water pooling to be pulled out from under the floor and surrounding foundation wall. This is one of our best approaches, combined with our draintile system and drain pipe.

Wall Panels

Our wall panel is non-permeable, flame retardant panel that is permanently fastened to your foundation wall to stop water from entering. It's job is to seal any potential moisture coming from water pooling or condensation through your wall. We use a patented and trusted product by Richtech which keeps moisture out permanently all seasons throughout the year. Whether it rains or snow thaws, these panels will keep your basement dry from any weather related issue caused by changes in temperature.
