Foundation drainage.
A foundation drain carries water away from the footing and helps keep the basement dry. We dig down to the footing, make room for the drain and backfill once it is in.
What we do
- Digging along the footing down to the foundation
- Careful work close to the house
- Room for drain pipe, drainage gravel and membrane
- Backfilling against the house and levelling
- Coordination with a plumber if needed
What affects the price
- Perimeter of the house
- Depth down to the footing
- Decks, steps or pavers that must be removed first
- Access around the house
- The soil on site

Frequently asked questions
When does a drain need replacing?
Common signs are damp or leaks in the basement, or puddles that stand by the house after rain. Older drains can clog or fail over the years. A plumber can run a camera through the drain to check its condition.
Are the drain materials included?
No. The estimate in the calculator covers digging and backfilling. Drain pipe, drainage gravel and membrane are extra.
What about pavers and decks by the house?
Anything in the way must be removed before digging. Let us know what is around the house and we will include it in the estimate.
