Water can seep through a crack, or a cove joint (90 degree angle where floor meets wall), around pipes, porous concrete, window wells and other places.

Interior Drain Tile System Installed – Cove Joint Seepage
The purpose of a drain tile system is to collect water around your foundation through an installed system of channel drains. (made from PVC pipe with weep holes, maintenance free and clog free) Running along adjacent to your footing underneath your slab floor. Once the water is collected into the drain tile system using gravity flow to pitch toward an existing or new pit. The sump pump will discharge the water and pump it away from your home. In addition to a drain tile system we will also use in some cases a mel-drain system to collect water seeping down the foundation wall. This will ensure a dry basement at all times. This system will prevent water from seeping into your homes basement. Ensuring a dry basement, especially during heavy rain storms, when you need it most.
Why Choose American Foundation Repair for Your Drain Tile System?
Every single contractor uses the same concept (gravity flow pitch), the big difference is an experienced basement waterproofing team. The truth is simple not complicated.

He was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all my questions. It was clear that he truly cared about helping me understand my home’s condition, and I really appreciated his honest. His professionalism and kindness made the whole process stress-free.
