Interior drain tile for Genesee homes on hillsides and big country lots. Runoff caught under the slab, pumped away, backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.
Genesee is open countryside in the middle of Waukesha County, with rolling Kettle Moraine hills and homes set on big lots. Many of those houses sit on a rise or into a hillside with a walkout basement. The land is beautiful, and it also moves a lot of water. After a thaw or a summer downpour, runoff travels a long way across open fields and lawns, and a house on the slope is often the first thing standing in its path.
That water soaks into the clay beside the foundation and sits there. Clay drains slowly, so the soil stays heavy against the wall for days after the rain stops, and the pressure pushes water in where the floor meets the wall. Interior drain tile gives it a way out. A trench along the inside of the walls, perforated pipe in washed gravel, and a sump crock with a pump and battery backup together keep the pressure off your floor.
On a large Genesee lot, the discharge line can carry pumped water well away from the house and downhill, which helps it stay gone. The install is done from inside, so there's no excavation across your yard. Our crew is based in Waukesha, close by. Nick or Luis will look at your basement, show you where the water gets in, and give you a written quote. When the Town of Genesee requires a permit, we pull it.
On a Genesee country property, interior drain tile handles the runoff that reaches your foundation, and it comes with 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 Genesee. 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!
