Drainage Systems
Stop the water problems for good with a local team that installs permanent drainage solutions, not temporary fixes.
Drainage Systems in Kansas City
At KC Pier Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair, we know that you want a dependable drainage system that keeps water away from your home and stops moisture before it creates bigger issues. You want the confidence that your basement, yard, and foundation will stay dry through every storm.
In order to do that, you need a contractor who understands how water moves through soil, how it enters a foundation, and which drainage system prevents the problem long term.
You need clear answers. You need a permanent fix. You need work done correctly the first time.
Many Homeowners End Up With the Wrong Fix
The problem is you’ve already dealt with contractors who rush inspections, give vague explanations, or push solutions that don’t match the actual issue.
When the root cause is missed, waterproofing is not done correctly and water keeps showing up where it should never be.
• standing water near the foundation
• wet basement walls or damp floors
• sump pumps that cannot keep up
• yard slopes that push water toward the home

FAQ
A drainage system is a setup of pipes and channels that collects and moves water away from your home to prevent flooding and foundation damage.
A French drain is one of the most efficient systems because it captures groundwater through a perforated pipe and redirects it away from the structure.
The cost varies based on system type, installation complexity, excavation needs, materials, labor, and disposal requirements.
Most drainage installations require a permit, especially when connecting to storm systems or adding electrical components like a sump pump.
A basement drain typically resembles a shower drain and connects to a sewer line or a collection pit beneath the slab.
Some plumbers install drainage, but complex systems should be handled by a licensed contractor trained in drainage design and waterproofing.
A below-grade floor up to 1,500 square feet generally needs at least one approved two-inch floor drain.
Basement drains usually connect to a sewer line, a sump pit, or both, depending on the home’s elevation and plumbing setup.
A sump pump system is often the best option because it collects water from drains and pumps it safely out of the basement.
Common alternatives include interior drainage with a sump pump, exterior waterproofing membranes, curtain drains, or drywells.
