When water seeps through your basement walls or rises through floor cracks, it creates conditions for mold, musty odors, and damage to anything stored below grade. Allied Water Services installs interior drain systems and moisture control solutions that capture water entering your basement and direct it to a sump pump, keeping floors and walls dry without the disruption of full excavation.

Interior waterproofing works by creating a controlled path for water that's already penetrated your foundation. A perimeter drain installed along the inside of the basement floor collects moisture before it can pool or spread, then channels it to a sump basin where a pump removes it from your home. This approach protects both finished and unfinished basements and can be installed with minimal disturbance to your property.

If you're dealing with wet basement floors or damp walls after heavy rain, contact us to discuss an interior waterproofing solution designed for your foundation type.

Key Benefits of This Service

The installation process involves removing a section of concrete along the perimeter of your basement, installing a drainage pipe, covering it with gravel, and then pouring new concrete to restore the floor. You'll see how the system captures water at the point where the floor meets the wall, preventing it from spreading across the basement.

After Allied Water Services completes the work, you'll notice floors stay dry even during periods of heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt. The system is designed for long-term performance, and the sump pump operates automatically whenever water enters the basin, so you don't need to monitor it constantly.

Interior systems are proven, long-term solutions that work with your existing foundation without requiring excavation around the exterior of your home. The installation is completed in a clean, professional manner, and the system functions quietly in the background once it's operational.

Homeowners often want to understand how interior waterproofing fits into their basement's layout and what changes they'll see after installation. Here are answers to the most common concerns.

What causes water to enter through basement floors and walls?

Hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil forces water through cracks, joints, and porous concrete. The pressure increases during wet seasons or when drainage systems around your home aren't functioning properly.

How does the interior drain system capture water?
The perimeter drain sits below floor level along the inside edge of your foundation, intercepting water as it enters through the wall-floor joint. Gravity directs the water into the drain, which slopes toward the sump pump basin.

Why install a sump pump with the drainage system?
The sump pump removes collected water from the basin and discharges it outside your home, preventing it from backing up into the basement. The pump activates automatically when water reaches a certain level in the basin.

What happens to the concrete floor after installation?
A narrow trench is cut along the perimeter to install the drain, then new concrete is poured to restore the floor. The repair creates a smooth surface that blends with the existing concrete once it cures.

How long does interior basement waterproofing take to install?
Most residential installations are completed in two to four days depending on the size of the basement and the extent of the drainage work. The process includes cutting, draining installation, sump pump setup, and concrete restoration.

Once your interior waterproofing system is in place, you'll have a basement that remains dry through every season without requiring constant attention or maintenance. If you're ready to stop dealing with wet basement floors, get in touch to schedule an installation consultation.
