Basement French Drains for Bolingbroke homeowners
Clay packed against a buried basement wall acts like a sponge that never wrings itself out. After a wet week in Bolingbroke, water sits in the soil around the footing, building pressure until it forces through the cove joint where the slab meets the wall, or up through cracks in the floor.
Homes built into a slope get the worst of it along the uphill walls. You may see a wet line all the way around the base of the wall, moisture seeping from the slab edge, or water that returns in the same pattern every storm no matter what sealant goes on the wall.
An interior French drain takes the pressure away. We cut the slab along the perimeter, dig beside the footing, lay perforated pipe in clean stone, and slope it to a sump. Weep holes drain hollow block cores, and a dimpled membrane on the wall directs seepage down. New concrete closes the floor. Price in writing, photos, free inspection.
Every Bolingbroke home gets the same basement french drains scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
