Basement French Drains for Clinchfield homeowners
Older basements in Clinchfield were built without any drainage below the floor, because nobody installed it at the time. Water has been arriving at the footing and finding its own way in ever since.
The sandy clay around them holds water for long stretches, so the footing stays wet and the cold joint at the wall and floor leaks reliably. Once a wall is old block laid with soft mortar, the joints leak too.
Retrofitting drain tile into an old basement works the same as in a new one. We cut the channel around the perimeter, set the pipe below slab level in washed stone with filter fabric, and close it back with concrete. Old, uneven floors are no obstacle to that.
Every Clinchfield home gets the same basement french drains scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
