Interior Drain TileKeep Your Basement Dry For Good
Interior drain tile installation, repair, and replacement in the Twin Cities.
Why Drain Tile Matters in Minnesota
During our heavy spring snowmelts and intense summer storms, the soil around your foundation becomes saturated. This creates immense hydrostatic pressure that forces water through the path of least resistance—often right through microscopic cracks in your basement walls or up through the floor.
An interior drain tile system acts as a pressure relief valve. It collects the water before it can enter your living space and directs it safely to a sump pump, keeping your basement dry and protecting your foundation from structural damage.
Our 5-Step Installation Process
Dig
We remove a small perimeter of concrete floor and dig a trench.
Lay Tile
We install perforated drain tile piping in the trench.
Direct Water
We connect the system to a reliable sump pump.
Cover
We cover the pipe with washed rock to filter out dirt.
Replace
We pour new concrete flush with your existing floor.
