Interior Drain Tile for Glendale homes
The Milwaukee River winds right through Glendale, and the streets that sit low near it tend to have a high water table every spring. Many of the homes here are postwar builds on concrete block, and a sump pump that runs from March into June is normal for a lot of families. If yours runs that much and water still shows up along the walls, the pit likely isn't getting the water it needs to catch.
Interior drain tile fixes that by connecting the whole perimeter to the sump. We trench along the walls inside, set perforated pipe in washed gravel below the slab, and drill weep holes in the bottom block course so water in the hollow cores drains out. Everything slopes to a sealed crock with a properly sized pump and a battery backup. Groundwater that rises under the floor or seeps at the joint gets carried off before it reaches your storage or carpet.
It's all done from inside, with no excavation in your yard. Nick or Luis will also check that the block walls are straight and sound, since river-area clay can push hard in a wet season. You'll get a written quote that covers the tile, the crock and the pump. When the City of Glendale requires a permit, we pull it.
