Interior French Drains for Basement Waterproofing
When water starts creeping into your basement, it’s more than just a nuisance. It’s a threat to your home’s foundation, air quality, and overall value. At AWS, we specialize in installing interior French drain systems designed to redirect water away from your basement and into a controlled drainage path. This proven waterproofing method is ideal for homes where exterior solutions aren’t feasible or where persistent moisture is damaging floors, walls, or belongings. If you’re looking for a long-term basement waterproofing solution, an interior French drain installed by AWS is a smart, effective investment.
How Interior French Drains Work
Interior French drains are installed along the perimeter of your basement floor, just inside the foundation walls. During installation, a trench is dug around the inside edge of the basement, and a perforated pipe is laid within a bed of gravel. This pipe collects water that seeps through the foundation walls or under the slab and channels it toward a sump pump system. The sump pump then safely moves the water out and away from your home. By relieving hydrostatic pressure and keeping moisture out, interior French drains help maintain a dry, stable basement environment year-round.
Benefits Of Installing An Interior French Drain System
Installing an interior French drain system offers homeowners a reliable defense against basement water intrusion. One of the biggest benefits is its ability to effectively manage groundwater and prevent flooding, even during heavy rains or rising water tables. By controlling moisture, it also helps prevent mold growth, musty odors, and structural damage to your foundation. Unlike exterior systems, interior French drains are less invasive to install and can often be completed more quickly. They also integrate seamlessly with sump pumps for efficient water removal. This type of system provides long-term peace of mind and protects your home’s value.

Signs You May Need An Interior French Drain
If your basement shows signs of moisture or water damage, it could be time to consider installing an interior French drain. Common warning signs include water pooling along the edges of the basement floor, damp or discolored walls, a persistent musty odor, or visible mold and mildew growth. You might also notice cracks in the foundation or peeling paint caused by ongoing moisture intrusion. In more severe cases, belongings stored in the basement may become damaged, or you may experience repeated flooding during heavy rains. These issues often point to poor drainage, and an interior French drain can be the key to resolving them for good.
We Also Install Exterior French Drains
In addition to interior solutions, AWS also installs exterior French drains to help manage groundwater before it reaches your foundation. These systems are placed around the outside perimeter of your home, typically at the footing level, and are designed to intercept and redirect water away from the structure. Exterior French drains are ideal for properties with heavy surface runoff, poor soil drainage, or sloping landscapes that direct water toward the home. By stopping moisture at the source, exterior drains provide an added layer of protection and can be combined with interior systems for maximum effectiveness. Whether inside or out, AWS has the drainage solution to keep your property dry.
