An interior drain is one of the methods we can use to prevent water from entering into your home. It’s an alternative to exterior basement waterproofing. In short, it doesn’t stop water from entering the basement, but it channels the water away and doesn’t let it damage anything or cause mold.
This system is crucial to a basement because the water is being removed from the foundation and preventing any inside damage or indoor flooding. If this system breaks, then your basement will fill with water and cause major damage to your home.
Some homeowners decide to install an additional exterior drain in order to remove all the water from their property that naturally accumulates during heavy rains or snow melts.
