Interior Draintile + Sump Pump

An interior drain tile system is the most popular way to permanently dry a Wisconsin basement, and it's installed entirely from inside with no digging up your yard. It captures water right where it enters and routes it to a sump pump that sends it safely away.

We install a perforated drain tile below your basement slab along the footing, connect it to a sump crock and pump, and seal everything back up. A battery backup keeps the system running during the storms and power outages when you need it most.

What's Included

A complete interior drainage system

Perimeter drain tile

A perforated pipe set in gravel below the slab along the footing captures water before it reaches your floor.

Sump crock (basin)

A heavy-duty basin collects the water from the drain tile at the low point of your system.

Sump pump + battery backup

A reliable pump clears the crock automatically - with a battery backup that keeps working during outages.

Sealed discharge line

Water is carried through a sealed line well away from your foundation so it can never circle back.

Questions, Answered

Interior drain tile & sump pump FAQs

Interior drain tile typically runs $40–$120 per linear foot, and in Wisconsin one wall usually comes in at $2,500–$4,500 and a full basement perimeter at $8,000–$12,000. A new sump pump and crock typically adds $800–$2,500, and a battery backup about $500–$1,500. Your written quote after the inspection (if qualified) is the real number.

The crock is the basin that collects water from your drain tile. The sump pump sits inside it and pumps the water out and away from your home.

We remove a narrow strip of the slab along the perimeter to install the drain tile, then patch it back. Most installs are done in 1–2 days.

That's exactly when basements flood - so we install a battery backup that keeps your sump pump running when the power is out.

Pour a bucket of water into the crock until the float rises. The pump should start, empty the crock and shut off on its own, and you should see water leaving the discharge line outside. Test the battery backup the same way with the main pump unplugged, every few months and before the spring thaw.
