Basement Interior Drains

Water surrounding your basement is the number one cause of foundation failure in Chicago. United Structural Systems waterproofing experts can keep your basement dry with our professional installed basement interior drain system. Water under your basement floor causes settlement, cracked walls and slabs. If this water problem is not addressed you will need foundation repair work soon. Interior drainage is not true waterproofing, it is a water management system. We will direct harmful water to a place that no longer can cause foundation problems and flooding.

Water management is a very useful tool for reputable contractors like us. When used in combination with exterior waterproofing and or foundation repair, interior water drainage can improve the health of your home and family. Your basement will now become a comfortable living space for your family.

The basement interior drain systems used by United Structural Systems moves water away from the foundation and directs it to the sump pit so the water can be discharged outside and away from the home. Generally, the cracks in your basement floor have been caused by trapped water that is rising and needs a place to go. Our interior drainage system that is placed next to the footing, not on top of the footing, creates a path of least resistance and directs the water to the sump pump, where it can no longer cause problems. Remember this is not waterproofing but water management. You are not stopping the water problem at the source, we are re-directing it so that it is no longer a nuisance.

Whether you want to remodel your basement or you have a finished basement that is damp, our interior water control systems give you the peace of mind that trapped water now has a place to go without flooding your living space. Basement water control is not something that only must be done to homes with major water leaks and flooding, but should be done in every home that is using this area as living space. Our water management procedures help eliminate odors, mold and mildew and that old nasty basement smell.
