Keep Your Basement Dry with an Interior Drainage System
Water entering your basement can damage flooring and belongings, contribute to moisture problems, and lead to recurring flooding. An interior basement drainage system helps protect your home by collecting water along the foundation perimeter and directing it to a sump pump for removal.
At Davenport Foundation Repair, we install customized interior French drain systems. Our basement drainage solutions are tailored to your home's foundation, floor construction, and specific water intrusion issues. Most installations, including a perimeter drain and sump pump system, can be completed in less than two days.

Interior vs. Exterior French Drain Systems: What's the Difference?
Traditional French drains are typically installed outdoors to redirect groundwater away from a property. An interior French drain, also called an interior perimeter drain, is installed along the inside perimeter of a basement to collect water entering through foundation walls or beneath the basement floor.
Davenport Foundation Repair specializes in interior basement drainage systems for basement waterproofing. Our interior foundation drainage solutions collect unwanted water and direct it to a sump pump for removal. If you're experiencing basement leaks, foundation water intrusion, or recurring flooding, our team can help you find the right interior drainage solution.
Which Basement Drainage System Is Right for Your Home?
Every basement has different drainage requirements. Factors such as foundation construction, concrete floor thickness, and where water enters your basement can influence which interior drainage system will work best.
We offer specialized Basement Systems drainage products that can be combined to create a customized basement perimeter drainage system.
WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain
For a typical basement, our WaterGuard® system is the ideal choice for waterproofing. This French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog.
Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored.
FlowGuard® Thin Floor Drain System
Sometimes the concrete floor in a basement is too thin for a drain to be installed on top of the footer. If we did install it on top of the footer, the drain would stick up past the concrete slab.
We usually address this challenge with our FlowGuard Thin Floor System. This system is designed to sit in front of the footing in a bed of drainage stone. After installation, the concrete floor is restored over it.
TrenchDrain™ Grated Drainage Pipe
Our dealers often meet with homeowners who would like us to prevent water from flooding from an outer entryway (hatchways, garage doors, under doorways, etc.)
In cases like this, our dealers will often span the opening with our TrenchDrain Grated Draining Pipe. The grated opening of this system is designed to accept water from the floor, where it's then directed to your perimeter drain.
