Every seasoned residential contractor knows: drainage problems are inevitable if the right systems aren’t in place. Whether it’s years of poor grading or a sudden shift in weather patterns, water will find a way into basements, crawl spaces, and foundation walls. The damage can be costly—both structurally and financially.
That’s why proactive drainage solutions are essential for any residential foundation or basement construction project – like Hydraway Drainage Systems.
Contractors focused on long-term results know that foundation integrity starts with effective water management. At Intech Anchoring, we’ve spent over 20 years supporting residential basement and foundation construction professionals with industry-leading drainage products engineered to perform under pressure.
Whether you’re installing a new basement system or retrofitting an existing structure, we offer turnkey drainage and waterproofing solutions that keep moisture out—and structural damage at bay.
If you’re seeing recurring seepage, damp walls, or water pooling after heavy rain, you already know surface fixes won’t cut it. That’s your cue to talk interior drainage. Even if grading and gutters look decent, water pressure against the foundation can push through cracks and cold joints. A sub-slab drain system connected to a sump is the real fix.
Not really. Exterior membranes degrade over time, and backfilled soil rarely drains well. If the water table’s high or the soil stays saturated, that pressure’s going to force its way in. Interior drainage is your backup defense—and often the first line of attack—especially in finished basements where you can’t afford moisture surprises.
Those “little damp spots” are red flags. That occasional moisture is how bigger problems start—mold, odors, efflorescence, even structural issues. If you’re already in the basement doing work, offering a long-term drainage solution like Hydraway helps protect your reputation and saves the homeowner future headaches (and costly repairs).
You know the deal—targeted fixes work short-term, but if the water’s made it in once, it’ll find other weak points. Unless it’s a very isolated issue with zero other symptoms, a full perimeter drainage install is the smarter play. Saves you from callbacks, and gives the client peace of mind.
Speed and performance. Go for systems with high flow rates and no-clog designs, like Hydraway. You’ll save time without needing gravel, and the product moves water way faster than perforated pipe. The fewer times you have to dig up concrete again, the better—for you and the homeowner.
