Interior drain tile for large River Hills homes: long foundation walls, big finished basements, no digging near driveways or landscaping. Lifetime warranty.
River Hills homes are big, and so are their basements. A custom house on a wooded acreage lot can have far more foundation wall than an average suburban home, and much of that lower level is often finished with a theater, a bar or a guest suite. Long driveways, stone patios and years of careful landscaping wrap around the outside. When water starts showing up in one corner, the last thing anyone wants is an excavator in the yard.
Interior drain tile solves the water problem without touching any of it. We trench along the inside perimeter, lay perforated pipe in washed stone below the slab, and slope the runs to one or more sealed sump crocks, each with a pump and a battery backup. On a long foundation, the layout matters, so we plan where the crocks sit and how the tile falls to keep every wall draining well.
Finished space gets careful handling. We open only the strip along the wall where the trench goes, protect floors and furniture, and clean up each day. Nick or Luis will walk the whole lower level with you, check the walls for movement, and give you a written quote with the runs and pumps laid out. With the Milwaukee River passing through the village, we plan for spring water. If the Village of River Hills requires a permit, we pull it.
For a larger River Hills home, interior drain tile 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 River Hills. 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!
