Interior Drain Tile for Brookfield homes
In Brookfield, the basement is usually a real part of the house. Homes built from the 1960s through the 1990s tend to have large finished lower levels with a family room, a bar, an office or a guest suite, and a lot of money sits in that drywall and flooring. So when a musty smell shows up or the carpet feels damp along an outside wall, owners want to know exactly where the water is coming from and how to stop it for good.
The answer is often at the bottom of the wall. Eastern Waukesha County sits on glacial clay that holds water after snowmelt and summer storms, and the pressure under the slab pushes moisture through the joint where wall meets floor. Interior drain tile catches it right there. We open a narrow strip of the slab around the perimeter, set perforated pipe in washed gravel, and slope it to a sump crock with a pump and a battery backup.
Because the work stays inside, your mature trees, perennial beds, patio and sprinkler lines are left alone. Inside, we take down only the lower part of the finished wall where the trench runs, and we show you that line before we start. Nick or Luis checks the foundation walls first and gives you a written quote. When the City of Brookfield requires a permit, we pull it.
