A properly installed interior perimeter drain system intercepts groundwater at the slab edge and routes it to a sump basin before it ever reaches your floor.
Not every Farmington, MI basement needs full-perimeter drain tile — sometimes a targeted section addressing the actual entry point is the more cost-effective, equally durable fix. We size the scope to what the inspection actually shows.
We're licensed and insured for residential and light commercial interior drainage work across Farmington, MI.
Most Farmington, MI inspection requests get a response within a day or two.
Pricing is based on linear footage of drain tile needed, quoted in writing after an in-person measurement.
Every system is tested with a hose before we consider the install complete.
Every Farmington, MI Interior Drainage System job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
We route the full perimeter or targeted sections depending on where moisture is actually entering, based on the inspection.
Basin placement is chosen for the shortest, most direct discharge path away from the foundation.
This option works well as a lower-disruption alternative to full perimeter drain tile in certain Farmington, MI basement layouts.
The cove joint where wall meets floor is sealed and tied directly into the drain system so water is captured right at the entry point.
We camera-inspect old systems where accessible to determine whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense.
Tell us where water shows up and under what conditions — heavy rain, snowmelt, or constantly — so we can scope the likely system needed.
A technician checks where water is entering, measures the perimeter, and identifies the best sump basin location for discharge.
We explain why we're recommending full perimeter versus targeted sections based on what the inspection found.
Most residential interior drainage installs finish in one to three days depending on perimeter length.
"Old drain tile from the 1970s had completely silted up. They cleaned what could be saved and replaced the rest."
— Farmington Homeowner
"Cove joint had been the source of our leak for years and nobody had addressed it until now."
— Farmington Customer
"They tested the system with a hose before calling it done, which gave us confidence it would actually work in a real storm."
— Farmington Homeowner
"Clean install, patched concrete matched the existing floor color almost perfectly."

Full perimeter systems make sense when multiple walls show signs of intrusion or as preventive coverage.
Drain tile requires cutting the slab; a baseboard channel is a lower-disruption alternative that captures wall seepage without floor demolition.
{Sometimes — if the pipe itself is intact but clogged with silt, cleaning can restore function without a full re-installation.|We camera-inspect where accessible to make that determination before recommending replacement.}
An undersized basin cycles the pump too often, so we don't cut corners on sizing.
If disruption is a major concern, we can discuss the baseboard channel alternative instead.
Most residential installs finish in one to three days depending on perimeter length and whether cove joint sealing is included.
