Internal French Drain

If you have a basement in your home, then you need to understand the importance of keeping your basement in a good condition because your foundation is at the base of your basement, and if that gets damaged, then you will have a whole other set of problems to deal with which are related to structural damage, and that is a task that no homeowner should ever want to undertake. The installation of an internal french drain is very useful in drawing the water away from your foundation, so if this sounds like an installation that you need, then contact us to discuss options. 
 
Cost
Many people ask us which is the better option between an external french drain and an internal french drain. The answer is rather complicated because while both of them are efficient at draining water away from your foundation, they both have their own advantages as well. One of the advantages of an internal french drain is that it cost less to install than it costs to install an external french drain. So if you are looking for a cost-effective method of drainage, then perhaps the internal french drain is the best option for you and for your budget. So contact us to find out more about the two options. 
 
The Weather
There are many benefits to both external and internal french drains. When it comes to installation, however, it is noteworthy to point out that installing an external french drain is subject to the weather playing along because it can not be done during rain and storms. On the other hand, internal french drains, as their name suggests are installed inside and are therefore unaffected by the weather. So if you would like to know more about which option is the right choice for your home, then reach out to us to have a chat with one of our specialists about what suits your needs best. 
 
Time
One of the most important elements in all of our lives is time because it is something that we can never get back. This is one of the primary reasons that many people delay maintenance work around their homes because, well, where would you find the time? A french drain is a very useful thing to have installed in your home, so if time is a factor for you, then this is the perfect choice for you because the installation process is so simple that it is the fastest way to achieve the desired result, which is channeling water away from your home. 
 
Drawbacks
One of the most important things for us as a company is painting the whole picture for the client so that there are no surprises later. It is for this very reason that we feel the need to mention any potential drawbacks of installing an internal french drain. The fact that it is installed in your home, means that a portion of your concrete will need to be broken up with jackhammers so that the installation can continue. Obviously, it will be covered up again, but most people complain about the noise, which there is nothing that we can do about, unfortunately. However, the pros still far outweigh the cons.
