The Importance of Drain Systems Installation
Installing basement drain systems is not a weekend DIY project. In fact, the most common drain system failures directly result from improper installation. From mismeasurements to choosing the wrong type of trench drain or grate, errors during installation can cause delayed timelines, increased costs, and wasted labor. Without an adequately dug trench, your drainage system will be ineffective, and your basement will continue to leak–despite investing in a waterproofing solution.
To avoid improper installation, you need knowledgeable and experienced waterproofing contractors who can quickly identify problems and provide solutions. At LeBlanc Basement Waterproofing, our trained and experienced technicians understand the importance of detail-oriented waterproofing solutions. We take our time to inspect every property. Then, we can confidently diagnose the source of the issue and suggest the right drain system for you.

What is an Interior Basement Drain Tile System?
A drain tile system in your basement is exactly what it sounds like, drain tiles installed beneath your basement. However, a drain tile is not a typical tile, such as flooring tiles used in kitchens and bathrooms. It's actually a perforated drainage pipe, typically called an interior French drain. The pipe will collect water that comes below the basement and seeps the foundation walls before a sump pump releases the water outside.
What are common drain systems?
Drain systems can include drain tiles, French drains, sump pumps, trench drains, and more. However, each drain system shares a purpose: moving water away from your home's foundation. At LeBlanc, we’re experienced in installing and maintaining interior and exterior drain systems and waterproofing solutions.
How do you know if you need a drain system?
Flooding, water stains, and foundation cracks are often the first sign that you need a drain system in your basement. You also may notice a smell from your basement caused by mold, mildew, or standing water. If your basement is flooded, you must invest in a properly installed drainage system. You can always call our team for a

What are the risks of not properly draining and waterproofing your basement?
A basement drainage system's primary advantage is preventing water-related damage to your home. Without waterproofing, you could have issues with the structural integrity of your home, as well as problems with hygiene and health resulting from mold and mildew.
What Is the Difference Between an Exterior & Interior Drain System?
An exterior drain system is typically installed on the outside when the home is built, while interior drains can be installed after the home is built on the inside of your home. However, the most cost-effective way to permanently waterproof your basement is by installing basement interior drain tiles. Both systems function the same, but an interior drain system will last longer as its location beneath the basement will help protect the system from outside wear and tear.
