Interior drain tile for Eagle hillside and walkout basements by the Kettle Moraine. Tile along the buried walls, a sump with battery backup, done from inside.
Eagle sits right against the Kettle Moraine State Forest Southern Unit, and the ground here shows it. Glacial hills roll through the village, and plenty of homes are built into a slope with a walkout basement on the low side. That design brings in daylight and a door to the backyard. It also puts the basement squarely in the path of every drop of runoff coming down the hill behind the house.
On a sloped lot, the uphill wall does most of the work. It's buried deepest, the clay against it stays saturated after rain and snowmelt, and water builds pressure along its footing until it seeps in at the floor joint or runs across toward the walkout door. Interior drain tile intercepts that water under the slab. We run the tile along the buried walls, where the pressure is, and bring it to a sump crock with a pump and battery backup.
The work happens entirely from inside, which matters on a steep lot where getting an excavator around the house would be difficult and hard on the yard. Our crew trenches by hand along the walls, sets the pipe in washed gravel and patches the floor back in. Nick or Luis will walk the basement with you first and give you a written quote. If the Village of Eagle requires a permit, we pull it.
For a hillside or walkout basement in Eagle, interior drain tile is built around the buried walls and includes these four parts:
We cut the floor along the walls and lay perforated pipe in gravel next to the footing to catch water before it reaches the floor.
A heavy-duty basin at the low point collects everything the drain tile gathers.
The pump empties the crock on its own, and the battery backup keeps it going when a storm knocks the power out.
Water leaves through a sealed line that carries it away from the foundation so it drains off the property.
We find where water enters and where the low point for the sump should go.
You get the drain tile layout, pump setup and price on paper.
Our own crew cuts the slab, lays the tile, sets the crock and pump, and pours new concrete, usually in a day or two.
We run water through the system, clean up and register your lifetime transferable warranty.
We stand behind every job in Eagle. If the problem we fixed ever comes back, we return and make it right at no cost, and the warranty passes to the next owner when you sell.
They replaced our drain tile, put in a sump pump, set steel beams, and sealed the basement walls - then redid the window wells and buried a downspout outside. The price was competitive and Nick, Luis and the crew explained everything as they went.
What an amazing job. There aren't enough words to say how much we appreciate Nick, Luis and the crew. The work was beautiful and they left the job site perfect. Thank you so much!
