An interior perimeter drain collects water at the base of the walls and sends it to a pump before it spreads across the floor.
Water under a Hardwick basement slab has to go somewhere. When the clay around the foundation fills up after a stretch of rain, hydrostatic pressure pushes water up through the cove joint where the wall meets the floor. That is the most common leak point in any basement.
You see it as a wet ring around the edge of the room, carpet that squishes along one wall, or water that creeps out from under a finished wall after storms. Surface sealers painted on the block do not stop it, because the water is coming from below them.
A basement French drain relieves that pressure. We break out a strip of the slab along the walls, dig down to the footing, lay perforated pipe in gravel, and run it to a sump basin. The floor gets patched with new concrete. Every Hardwick drain job starts with a free inspection, photos and a written price.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Hardwick home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
Thank you Trench Guys for repairing our foundation. John gave our home a thorough inspection and explained the process so we knew exactly what the problem was and our options. They worked hard and were friendly and knowledgeable.
