French Drain in Michigan & Wisconsin

JL Basement Waterproofing Co. - Bessemer installs a state-of-the-art French drain (aka drain tile) system called WaterGuard – a patented product only available through Basement Systems dealers.
WaterGuard VS French Drain in WI-MI

What makes WaterGuard in Michigan and Wisconsin much more effective than a basic French drain or drain tile system is its design. WaterGuard is specially engineered to sit on the basement footing, keeping it up out of the dirt and mud (the Mud Zone) and making it highly resistant to clogging. A special flange also makes a clean edge at the basement wall and prevents dirt and debris from falling into the system.

Our MI and WI service area includes: Counties of Houghton, Baraga, Oneida ,Keweenaw, Vilas and surrounding areas.

History of French Drains in Michigan and Wisconsin

Drain tile and French drain first started to be used in basement waterproofing projects in the 1920s. Originally designed with clay tile, French drain and drain tile was designed by Henry French in Concord. Given the time, this was an excellent solution. Today, this drainage system lives on, and is generally made out of large, round plastic piping. However, since the 1990s, a more effective alternative has been developed – the WaterGuard drainage channel system.

French drain systems are usually designed with PVC pipe that is perforated and installed along the interior perimeter of the foundation, or along the exterior as the home is built. Laid underneath the basement floor, it drains water to a gravity drain (uncommon) or to a sump pump (very common).

All over Michigan and Wisconsin, JL Basement Waterproofing Co. - Bessemer has pulled out many clogged, French drain and drain tile waterproofing systems.

Clogged Drain Tile

In Michigan and Wisconsin – especially in Counties of Houghton, Baraga, Oneida ,Keweenaw, Vilasand surrounding areas – homeowners with wet basements find themselves continually frustrated with failing French drains that lead to flooded basements (another clogged drain tile pipe shown right).
