If you're dealing with water that shows up along the wall-floor joint every time it rains hard, Arrow Tight Waterproofing's Interior Drainage System specialists are ready to diagnose it right and fix it for good — not just patch the symptom.

That engineering step is what separates a system that keeps up with a heavy storm from one that backs up.
We use dust containment systems during the concrete-cutting phase, keeping disruption to the rest of your home to a minimum.
You'll know the exact scope — partial wall or full perimeter — before you approve anything.
Every system ties into a sump pit sized for the drainage volume it's collecting, not an undersized pit left over from a prior install.
We diagnose before we quote, so the Interior Drainage System scope you approve is built around your property, not a generic package.
We saw-cut the slab perimeter, excavate to the footing along the affected walls, and install schedule 40 perforated drain tile in a gravel bed — capturing water at the source before it can rise above slab level.
The system routes to a properly sized sump pit with a dual-pump configuration for redundancy on higher-volume installations. That's the calculation most budget drain tile installs skip, and it's usually why they back up.

This keeps cost proportional to the actual scope of your water problem, tying the partial run into your existing or a new sump. This is standard on every interior drainage job we run, not something we upsell separately.
📞 Get a Free Quote →A vapor membrane is installed along the lower wall as part of the drain tile system, directing any wall-face seepage down into the drainage channel rather than onto your floor.
This addresses both floor-level and lower-wall moisture in a single integrated system rather than two separate fixes. Getting the sizing right up front is what keeps the system ahead of a heavy storm instead of behind it.
📞 Get a Free Quote →New or existing sump pits are evaluated for capacity against the drain tile's expected flow rate — an undersized pit paired with a new drainage system just moves the bottleneck downstream.
We upsize or rebuild the pit as needed so the whole system, not just the pipe, is rated for your actual water volume. This is standard on every interior drainage job we run, not something we upsell separately.
📞 Get a Free Quote →The sump discharge is routed and graded to terminate at least 10 feet from the foundation, preventing water the drain tile just collected from simply working its way back toward the wall.
Freeze-prone runs receive a freeze-guard fitting so winter conditions don't compromise the system. That's the calculation most budget drain tile installs skip, and it's usually why they back up.

Inspections for Cheyney interior drainage jobs are typically scheduled within days, with installation following shortly after approval.
The technician measures the affected perimeter, checks your existing sump capacity, and quotes a fixed per-foot price for the scope needed.
Once approved, we cut, excavate, install the drain tile and sump tie-in, and finish with a written warranty on the completed system.
"Water showed up at the same spot along the back wall every time it rained hard. Full drain tile installation along that section tied into a new sump — hasn't shown up once since, through several heavy storms.System's kept up with everything so far."
"They actually calculated our drainage volume before sizing the sump pit, which the last company that quoted us didn't bother doing. System's kept up with everything so far, including one very heavy spring storm.Exactly the system that section needed."
"Only needed drainage along two walls, not the whole basement, and they quoted it that way instead of upselling a full-perimeter system we didn't need. Fair pricing and the fix has held completely.Exactly the system that section needed."
"Concrete cutting was noisy for about half a day but they used dust containment and cleaned up thoroughly. Drain tile and vapor membrane installed along the wall — floor's stayed dry since.Floor's stayed completely dry since."
