Interior Drainage Systems in Warren: what's different here
Warren's older neighborhoods around Courthouse Square and Perkins Park were built with clay drain tile around their foundations, and after decades underground most of it is crushed, filled with silt or broken by roots. Without working footer drains, groundwater builds against the walls and pushes in at the floor-wall joint.
An interior perimeter drain avoids digging on tight city lots and around porches and driveways. It collects water inside the footing and carries it to a sealed sump, with a battery backup for storm outages.
Pairing interior drainage with downspout extensions and grading reduces how hard the sump has to work.
