Foundation Drainage Systems
Your house’s foundation drainage system is one of the most important waterproofing tools in your home. A well-maintained drainage system protects your basement from water damage, reducing the risk of moisture buildup, mold, mildew or cracks in the basement.
If your foundation drainage system needs repairs or an upgrade, Queen Foundation Repair can help. We offer various drainage system services to protect your home from water damage.
Essential Component
Importance of Foundation Drainage Systems
Your basement’s foundation drainage system includes multiple elements designed to collect
and redirect water away from your home’s basement and foundation. It provides moisture control solutions such as drains, sump pumps and waterproofing membranes.
A well-maintained and y working drainage system protects your home from flooding and water intrusions. It reduces the potential for water damage, the formation of mold and mildew or damage to the foundation’s concrete.
What We Offer
Our Foundation Drainage System Services
Queen Foundation Repair offers a complete range of foundation drainage services, allowing us to tailor our work to your needs and home specifications. We can install a foundation drainage system, repair an existing one or perform upgrades to ensure proper foundation drainage.
French Drains Installation
A French drain is a drainage trench dug into the ground around your home, typically on the sides where water accumulates the most. Inside the trench is a perforated pipe laid at a slight incline and covered in sand, gravel or similar filler material and a geotextile fabric to avoid clogging the pipe. During heavy rain, water penetrating the soil passes into and through the pipe. The pipe then moves the water away from the structure, protecting the foundation walls from water damage.
French drains are an effective solution to combat the effects of pooling water. They can protect your landscape from water damage, prevent water infiltration in the basement and reduce the risk of cracks in the exterior of your foundation.
Queen Foundation Repair can assess the configuration of your home and determine the best location for a French drain. We’ll ensure the trenches are positioned correctly, letting them absorb and redirect water away from your foundation efficiently.
Sump Pump Installation and Repair
Sump pumps are essential to any basement and foundation drainage system. You can find your sump pump inside the sump basin, installed under your drain tile at the lowest point of your basement floor.
The sump basin collects water seeping through the soil, including rainwater passing through gaps or cracks. When the water inside the basin reaches a certain level, the sump pump turns on, absorbs some of the water and discharges it away from your property to prevent water damage or basement flooding.
Sump pumps require regular maintenance to function correctly. Queen Foundation Repair is fully qualified to perform sump pump inspections, assessments, repairs and upgrades. If our team did not install your current sump pump, we can determine whether it is correctly sized for your home and basin and offer upgrade suggestions as needed.
Moisture Control Solutions
While French drains and sump pumps are essential to prevent water intrusions and damage in the basement, you can reinforce your foundation with various moisture control solutions. These systems can help prevent the growth of mold and mildew in your home, preserving its structural integrity and indoor air quality.
Queen Foundation Repair can assess the size and layout of your home’s foundation and recommend appropriate moisture control systems. Common solutions include gutters, downspouts, waterproof coatings, interior dehumidifiers, vapor barriers and door or window sealants.
