Basement Drainage System
A drainage system is the backbone of a dry basement. DryWorx installs interior drainage that catches water at the wall-floor joint and carries it to a pump.
How an interior drainage system works
Water under pressure from the soil tends to enter where the wall meets the floor. An interior drain runs along that joint, collects the water as it arrives, and channels it to a sump that sends it back outside. Instead of fighting each leak, you manage the water as a whole.
It's the difference between chasing wet spots one at a time and giving all of the water a single place to go.
Signs you need better drainage
Consider an inspection if you see:
- Water along the base of the walls after rain
- Damp or stained wall-floor joints
- Puddles returning in the same spots
- Chalky residue low on the walls
- A sump that runs constantly — or never
- Persistently musty lower-level air
What DryWorx installs
After a free inspection, we build a system sized to the water you actually have:
- Perimeter interior drainage
- A sump pump to discharge the collected water
- Sealing active entry points with crack repair
- Managing leftover moisture with dehumidification
Built around your basement
No two basements take on water the same way, so every system is sized and routed to the home it's in. The inspection maps where your water comes in and where it needs to go.
