Interior Drain Tile for Lannon homes

Lannon is a quarry town, and it shows. Plenty of houses here wear the pale Lannon stone the village is known for, on the front, in retaining walls, around garden beds. Below grade, the story is often older stone or concrete block foundations. Those walls are full of joints, and every joint is a place for groundwater to push through when the clay around the house fills up after a thaw.

Stone and block foundations tend to seep everywhere at once. Water weeps from mortar lines, trickles down the face of the wall and pools where it meets the floor. Sealing each joint from inside rarely lasts on walls like these. What holds up is collecting the water at the bottom: a perimeter drain tile trenched below the slab beside the footing, carrying everything to a sump crock where a pump sends it out of the house.

Lannon is small, and our shop in Waukesha is a short drive away. When we come out, we check the wall first. Old stone and block can shift, and if a wall has moved, it gets braced before we trench next to it. Then we lay out the tile, pick a spot for the crock that works with your floor plan, and add a battery backup pump. When the Village of Lannon requires a permit, we take care of it.

What's Included

What interior drain tile in Lannon includes

An interior drain tile job in a Lannon basement, stone or block, comes down to these four pieces:

Perimeter drain tile under the slab

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.

Sump crock

A heavy-duty basin at the low point collects everything the drain tile gathers.

Sump pump with battery backup

The pump empties the crock on its own, and the battery backup keeps it going when a storm knocks the power out.

Sealed discharge line

Water leaves through a sealed line that carries it away from the foundation so it drains off the property.

What homeowners say about our crew

★★★★★

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.

Questions, Answered

Lannon interior drain tile FAQs

Yes, that's one of the best uses for it. The tile sits at the base of the wall and catches whatever comes through the joints above. You may still see damp stone after heavy rain, but the water goes to the sump and stays off your floor.

Water pressure behind the wall finds the next weak joint as soon as you seal one. Patching treats a single spot. Drain tile relieves the pressure at the footing so the whole wall has somewhere to drain.

It can. A retaining wall holds soil and water against the slope, and some of that water ends up against your foundation. We look at the grade outside during the inspection and account for it when we lay out the tile and size the pump.

We fix the wall first. Trenching next to a wall that's moving is a bad idea, so we brace it with carbon fiber or steel beams depending on how far it's gone. Once it's stable, the drain tile goes in.

Usually in a corner or along a wall where the tile can slope to it and the discharge line has a short run outside. We'll show you a couple of options. It gets a sealed lid so it stays quiet and keeps moisture down.

Some jobs need one and some don't. When the Village of Lannon requires it, we pull the permit and schedule any inspection. You won't be stuck with paperwork.

Most interior drain tile jobs take a couple of days. We cut, trench, lay the pipe, set the crock and pour the floor back. You can stay in the house the whole time.

Often, yes. A musty smell usually means moisture is coming through the walls or the floor edge. Collecting that water at the footing and sealing the sump lowers the humidity down there.

The battery backup pump takes over when the power drops. It runs off its own battery and keeps pumping through a typical outage. We set it up in the same crock as the main pump.

Yes, do the water first. Once drywall and flooring are down, any leak gets expensive fast. Drain tile underneath makes the space safe to finish.
