Interior French Drain Installation Service

The interior French drain installation service offered by Fissure Expert is an efficient and less intrusive way to manage groundwater and runoff that can cause damage to your property. This solution, carried out entirely inside the basement of your building, avoids the need to excavate the entire exterior perimeter.

Our procedure consists of creating a trench in the concrete slab that runs along your foundation walls. It is in this trench that we install a perforated French drain. We ensure that the trench has a slope directing the water to a specially designed pit to accommodate a sump pump.

We mainly use a narrow but considerable height drain system, allowing for a smaller opening in the concrete slab while ensuring very efficient water drainage and hydrostatic pressure management.

Following the installation, we carefully close the trench to restore the original appearance of your basement.

Like the exterior foundation drain, which is very common in Quebec, the interior French drain serves as an effective barrier against water infiltration. It consists of a perforated pipe covered with stone to prevent clogging by impurities and is located under the existing concrete slab of the foundation.

The system collects groundwater and runoff that may seep into the basement and routes it to a sump pump, which discharges it out of the basement. The ultimate goal is to keep your foundation dry and protected.

At Fissure Expert, we offer not only the installation of interior French drains, but also their repair. We understand that drainage issues can cause significant damage to your property, which is why we are dedicated to providing a fast and efficient repair service.

Our specialists are equipped to handle all types of interior drainage problems. Whether your interior French drain is clogged, damaged, or operating suboptimally, we have the skills and tools to restore its effectiveness.

The repair process begins with a thorough diagnosis to determine the cause of the problem. Once we have identified the problem, we establish a customized repair plan for your specific situation.

Our repair service includes restoring the functionality of the drain, removing blockages, repairing cracks or breaks in the pipe, and rectifying any improper slopes that may be preventing water from draining properly. In addition, if necessary, we reinstall the sump pump to ensure efficient water evacuation out of the basement.

At the end of the repair, we make sure to carefully close the trench to restore the original appearance of your basement.
