Footing Drain Solutions

A footing drain is a foundation drain designed to channel away any water seeping through the ground that may accumulate against the foundation. In general, it drains away water to the or the sump pump, or to the ground. It is a pipe that surrounds the perimeter of the foundation on the level with the footing. It has many slits or tiny holes to let water get in and be channeled away. The slits are covered with filters to prevent any soil from entering.

However, it may malfunction due to improper installation or being clogged over time. As a result, when water has no other place to go, it leaks into your basement. If your footing drain is failing to drain water, call Jamison Basement Waterproofing, a family-owned company serving the Philadelphia area since 1989. Our specialists will assess the damage and remediate the issue. We offer a basement waterproofing system that suits homes of all sizes and ages.

Footing Drain Malfunctions

Why Footing Drains Malfunction?

A footing drain is positioned at the same level as your basement’s foundation to capture any water that seeps in.

When a building is constructed, the ground is dug out and later refilled after the foundation is in place. During this process, the footing drain can get damaged. Backfilled soil is also less compact than undisturbed ground, which makes it absorb more water and expand. As the soil swells, it puts pressure on the drain. If too much dirt and debris build up on the drain’s filter fabric, water cannot flow into the pipe. Over time, particles and muddy water can enter the system, leading to clogs.
