A strong quote explains more than “replace the drain.” It identifies the source, wall protection, drain base, clean stone, water discharge and final grading.
- Before digging
Diagnose and locate
We confirm the moisture source and available drain access. Utility locating is requested before digging, with additional site-specific checks where needed.
- Excavation
Protect the work zone
Sloping, shoring, barriers and safe distances are adapted to the soil and depth. Spoil and machinery stay back from the edge.
- At footing level
Build a readable drainage layer
A drain of at least 100 mm sits on a stable base, with at least 150 mm of clean coarse aggregate beside and above it, then discharges to an authorized system.
- Before closing
Document and finish
Wall protection and connections are checked before backfill. Final grading moves surface water away from the foundation.
