Basement Drainage Options for Nebraska

An exterior drainage system is the most expensive waterproofing service and can be invasive to the surrounding area, however, it is the most effective water control approach. This will help to keep water away from your home. The water won’t have a chance to enter your home as it will be kept away by this system.

An interior drainage system is the most common drainage system and is usually what is installed if you are experiencing flooding. The interior drainage system will be paired with your sump pump system to further control the excess water. The interior drainage system will divert water to your sump pump system which will push water outside and away from your home. Depending on your home’s specific situation, an interior drainage system may be placed in a variety of places such as above, within, or beneath the slab.
