Inside drains are used to waterproof from the inside of the basement. Typically, this involves opening the floor around the perimeter of the basement, digging a trench, and installing pipe and gravel around the footer. We also installs ‘weep-holes’ small, one-half- to three-quarter-inch holes in each block cavity to release any water that may be trapped. The holes are covered with a plastic molding or styrene panel before the floor is re-concreted.
