Ask yourself a few questions, are your perimeter drains clear? when's the last time you thought about them? what could happens if a drain clogs? You really should be checking your perimeter drainage at less once a year.
Moisture problems. For example, a leak at the joint of the wall and floor indicates problems with the perimeter drain, foundation or slab. Sometimes less obvious. Mold, white powder of foundation walls to smell. A crack in the foundation, standing water against the house, to much clay in the soil are all things that can lead to a flood
that is why we would suggest a perimeter drain inspection. Our team will inspect your perimeter drain (sometimes called a drain tile, weeping tile ) using a camera, to see if you have a blockage. We may also dig exterior test holes down to the base of the foundation at different locations to visually confirm the condition of your exterior basement wall ( cracks, ware or even holes) and perimeter drain (Roots, dirt, rock, separation in the tile).
If your drains is the cause of the water leak, we’ll have options available to you, which may include a line repair or full perimeter drain replacement.

A drainage inspection is the first step to checking your perimeter drainage. We use video equipment which is a camera on a snake that get sent inside of your drainage system by going down your drainage stack (cleanouts), down spouts, driveway drain or back door floor drain. By accessing your system this way we can see if there is a blockages, broken areas or areas that bring up concern. on a lot of older systems like clay, big O, or concrete tile is that the downspouts are a 90 degree angle and the sand and leaves from our roofs sit there at the bottom. these is why having a up to date system is best.
A test dig is where we dig down the drainage stack to the base of your foundation. By doing a test dug it allows us to do a small inspection on your foundation, check the height of the perimeter drain, how much foundation sealer you have now, how much rock is around your perimeter drain. We will do another camera inspection to check if there are anymore blockages, broken areas. if there are any more problems areas we will do what is know as a flush. check with the camera again afterwards we take all these things in to account and report our findings to you . There is a lot we can learn just by doing a test dug
A flush is where we send our jetter down your drainage system. By doing this we remove the rocks an debris that is in the blocked drain. If a flush is unable to clear the blocked drain then we move to replacing that line. and if the blockage is gone then we can put it all back together
Parshall's are where there are a few areas and we are fix by dug up and replace the line. By doing this you get a resealed foundation a systems that is more efficient on keeping water away from you home
