What We Do

Five Services. One Interior Method.

Water on the floor, cracks in the wall, a sump pump that can’t keep up — each of these is a different problem with a different fix. We diagnose what’s actually going on in your basement and recommend only the services you need. Pick one below to see how it works, or book a free inspection and we’ll figure it out for you.

The Services

Built to Work as One Solution

Most wet basements need more than one of these five. They work as one solution. The drain catches the water low and the sump pushes it back outside, while the wall treatment runs seepage down to that drain instead of trapping it behind paint. Humidity is its own fight, so dehumidification handles the moisture the bare concrete keeps giving off long after the last rain. We diagnose which pieces your basement needs. We tell you the ones it does not.

The full interior approach. A drain, a pump and a dehumidifier, built to help prevent water and damp air.
For walls that stay wet, stain, or peel after a storm. A drainage mat carries the water down to the drain, which helps prevent stains and peeling.
A cracked or bowing wall? We give you an honest read on whether it's serious or just settling, then fix the ones that need it.
For a floor that keeps flooding. The drain collects the water as it comes in and carries it to the pump, which helps prevent pooling.
For a pump that can't keep up, or no pump at all. We install one sized to your basement with backup power for the next big storm.

How We Handle the Water

One Honest Method: Collect It, Then Get It Out.

The method is an interior subslab drain. A trench beside or below the footer collects the water as it comes in and carries it to a sump, and the pump sends it outside. The steps below are the same whether you have one wet wall or four.

1. Open the floor beside the footer

We cut a 10-by-10 trench around the inside perimeter, beside and below the footer, designed to keep the water it collects from undermining the footing your house rests on.

2. Lay perforated pipe in washed gravel

A 4-inch slotted pipe beds in clean drainage rock. The rock gives water an easy path into the pipe instead of forcing it up through your slab. The line is pitched to the lowest point of the floor.

3. Drain the wall

A dimpled mat runs up the inside of the wall, and we drill weep holes in the bottom course of block. Water trapped inside the hollow cores drops into the trench rather than holding against the wall. On a quiet night you can hear it trickle behind the block once the holes are open.

4. Re-concrete flush and pitch to the sump

We pour the floor back level, terminate the trench in a sump pit, and the pump lifts the water and discharges it outside, away from the foundation. Interior only. The yard, the grade, and the landscaping stay where they are.

We are not tied to one drainage product. We choose the material that suits the basement.

What We Don’t Do

A Tight, Honest Scope

We work inside only. A tight scope is how we stay good at the basement work we keep. If a job needs something past our lane, we tell you and send you to the right specialist.

We Do Not:

  • Dig the yard for exterior excavation
  • Set helical piers
  • Install foundation underpinning
  • Install egress windows
  • Perform Crawl Space Work (Crawl spaces are Crawlspace Medic’s lane, our sister company.)

Not Sure Which Service You Need?

That’s what the free inspection is for. We diagnose the basement and tell you exactly what it takes, and what it doesn’t.
