Every Tekonsha, MI Interior Drainage System job starts with an inspection, not a generic package — here's what that typically includes.
A channel is cut along the slab edge, perforated pipe is laid with proper slope, and gravel backfill allows water to flow freely into the drain.
Every interior drain system needs a sump basin as its endpoint — we size the basin and pump to match the drain tile's expected inflow.
For finished basements where cutting the slab isn't practical, a baseboard channel system captures wall seepage without disturbing existing flooring.
We treat the cove joint as part of every interior drainage install, not as a separate add-on.
Existing drain tile that's clogged with silt or has failed slope can often be cleaned or repaired rather than fully replaced.
This helps us bring the right materials and estimate linear footage before the visit.
We also check existing drainage, if any, to determine whether repair or new installation makes more sense.
We explain why we're recommending full perimeter versus targeted sections based on what the inspection found.
We test the system with water flow before finishing to confirm proper slope and basin performance.
"Old drain tile from the 1970s had completely silted up. They cleaned what could be saved and replaced the rest."
— Tekonsha Homeowner
"Finished basement meant we couldn't cut the slab easily. Baseboard channel system worked great as an alternative."
— Tekonsha Customer
"Explained the slope requirements in a way that actually made sense, not just technical jargon."
— Tekonsha Homeowner
"Sump basin placement was smarter than what a previous contractor had proposed — shorter discharge run, less noise."
— Tekonsha Customer
Not always — if water is only entering along one wall, a targeted section can be enough, which we determine from inspection findings.
Drain tile requires cutting the slab; a baseboard channel is a lower-disruption alternative that captures wall seepage without floor demolition.
{Sometimes — if the pipe itself is intact but clogged with silt, cleaning can restore function without a full re-installation.|We camera-inspect where accessible to make that determination before recommending replacement.}
An undersized basin cycles the pump too often, so we don't cut corners on sizing.
If disruption is a major concern, we can discuss the baseboard channel alternative instead.
Most residential installs finish in one to three days depending on perimeter length and whether cove joint sealing is included.
