In Pettigrew Heights and the Cathedral District, many basements were built with clay drain tile that has since collapsed, so meltwater has nowhere to go but through the floor-wall joint. A new interior drain replaces that lost function from inside.
Before booking, ask whether the quote includes a sealed sump lid, a check valve and a discharge line with a freeze-relief outlet, since all three matter in a Sioux Falls winter.
