Do you have a wet basement? A basement French drain system could prevent water leaks in basement when it rains. While things with “French” in the title are usually fancy, like poodles, perfume and pastries, a French drain is a ditch in the ground, inset with a perforated pipe under a layer of gravel that channels water away from the foundation and outside of the home using a sump pump.
To install an interior French drain, Rapid Response Basement Solutions cuts a sloped channel into the perimeter of your basement slab. We then excavate and remove the ground below the channel. Next, we install a perforated drain pipe and a sump pump well, and fill the trench with a few inches of drainage gravel. The slab is then patched with fresh concrete. The water is now diverted to a sump pump and removed from the home.
