Interior Drain Tile for Shorewood homes

In Shorewood, the house next door is often just a few feet away. Many homes and duplexes here went up in the early 1900s on close-set lots, with shared side yards and driveways barely wide enough for a car. Digging along a wall usually means working on a strip of ground you share with a neighbor, and sometimes there's no room for equipment at all. That's why most basement water fixes in this village end up happening from the inside.

Interior drain tile is built for that situation. We carry everything in through the house, open a trench along the inside walls, set perforated pipe in clean gravel below the slab, and drain it to a sealed sump crock with a pump and battery backup. Water that seeps in where the old walls meet the floor gets caught and sent out. Your neighbor's side yard stays untouched, and so does your own garden.

Older walls in Shorewood deserve a careful look before any drainage goes in, so Nick or Luis will check for cracks, bowing and loose mortar first. We plan the discharge route to fit a narrow lot, so the water leaves without soaking the house next door. You get a written quote with the details. If the Village of Shorewood requires a permit, we take care of it.

What's Included

What interior drain tile in Shorewood includes

Built for tight Shorewood lots, interior drain tile includes these four things:

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.

Warning Signs

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

Shorewood interior drain tile FAQs

Yes. Interior drain tile is installed from inside the basement. Nothing gets dug in the side yard you share.

We route the discharge so it leaves your foundation and drains away from both houses. The route depends on your lot. We'll show you the plan before installing.

Clear a few feet along the walls where the tile will go. We'll tell you which walls ahead of time. The work area stays contained, and we clean up daily.

Everything comes in through the house. Interior tile uses tools that fit through a standard doorway and down the stairs. We protect floors along the way.

It can, mostly for the discharge and any electrical. When the Village of Shorewood requires a permit, we pull it. You won't have to file it yourself.

We repair the wall first if it needs it. Loose mortar and cracks get fixed before the trench goes in. Drainage works best against a sound wall.

Narrow side yards often collect roof water from both houses. The soil there stays wet and pushes water through at the joint. Tile along that wall usually handles it.

Cutting the slab is the loud part, and it's done in daytime hours. Most of the work after that is quiet digging and setting pipe. It's usually done in a few days.

We use a sealed crock with a tight lid. That keeps moisture and soil gases in the pit. It also keeps the basement cleaner.

Yes. Our lifetime warranty is transferable. It's a plus when you sell an older home in a village like this.
