An old basement with no drainage gets a basin, a pump and a discharge that goes somewhere useful.
Older basements around Clinchfield were built without any drainage below the floor and without a sump, because neither was standard at the time. Water has been arriving at the footing and finding its own way in ever since.
Retrofitting a system into an old basement is routine work. The basin gets cut into the slab at the low point, drain tile feeds it from below the floor, and the pump provides the exit that the house has never had.
The sandy clay around these houses holds water for long stretches, so the supply into the basin is steady and slow. We size for that pattern, fit a check valve and a sealed lid, and route the discharge to a point where the water does not return.
Clinchfield homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
