Drain tile and sump pump systems are the most popular in the industry, for good reason: they work. Interior drain tile is the best way to keep a basement dry. You don’t need to dig around your home, which can be expensive. Water can still get in even if you have outside barriers. Interior drain tile is not only more effective but also more affordable than outside options.
Why Drain Tile & Sump Pump Systems?
If you have a damp, musty basement or have experienced water damage, you need a long-term solution—not just a quick fix. Interior drain tile and sump pump systems are the most effective and affordable way to keep your basement dry without the high costs of exterior excavation.
At LTC Water Control, we specialize in designing custom drainage solutions that protect your home from water damage, foundation issues, and mold growth. Our system directs water away from your basement efficiently and permanently.
How Our Drain Tile System Works
Precision Cutting & Excavation
- We remove 8 to 18 inches of the basement floor along the perimeter to access the footing.
- Unlike exterior systems, this avoids costly excavation and yard disruption.
Installing the Drain Tile
- A perforated drainage pipe is laid in a trench and surrounded by high-quality washed rock to ensure optimal water flow.
- For block foundations, we drill weep holes to allow trapped water to escape.
Sump Basin & Pump Installation
- We install a 24-inch deep, 18-inch wide sump basin.
- A cast iron submersible sump pump expels collected water safely away from your home.
- Includes a sealed lid to prevent moisture and odors.
Sealing & Finishing
- We apply a vapor barrier to prevent moisture wicking.
- The floor is re-poured with concrete to match your basement.
- Cleanup is handled professionally, leaving no mess behind.
The project duration depends on the size and scope but usually takes 1 to 3 days. We’ll work with you to find a suitable time that minimizes disruption for your property.
