High Capacity Drain Tile Waterproofing Systems
Basement Drain Tile
Installing basement drain tile involves placing perforated pipes alongside the foundation footings to direct ground water to a sump pump. This prevents water from seeping into the basement floor.
Sump Pump
A sump pump is installed in a pit below the basement floor. The pit collects nearby groundwater and water from installed drain tile. The pump empties the pit and discharges water away from the foundation. Battery back-up versions will continue to pump in the event of a power outage.
SUMP PUMPS
Our sump pump is energy efficient, powerful and designed for continuous duty! Constructed of stainless steel and cast-iron, it delivers ultra-quiet operation with a water cooled design. The intelligent pump control module monitors the pump and automatically tests it weekly. Problems will be reported with lights and alarms, or directly to your mobile device with optional WiFi integration. Our primary sump pumps come with a 5 year warranty.
Battery Backup
Upgrade to a battery back up combination system to get that extra piece of mind during power outages. The backup pump will assist the primary pump if excessive amounts of water enter the sump pit. And when the power goes out, the backup pump will automatically switch to battery power to continue pumping water. The system automatically charges the battery when back on AC power and will report on battery charge status. Our combination system comes with a 4 year warranty.
Lid & Basin
Each sump pit is installed with a clear lid that hinges for easy visibility and access to the pit. The lid securely locks against an airtight gasket, allowing easy inspection without compromising performance. This prevents moisture, odors, and soil gases from escaping into the basement, helping maintain both waterproofing efficiency and indoor air quality. Durable construction ensures long-lasting protection and a clean, professional finish.
Moisture Barriers
A durable moisture barrier prevents water from reaching finished basement walls, shielding your home from structural damage. In addition to keeping surfaces dry, it helps limit mold and mildew growth, supporting a healthier indoor environment and preserving the integrity of your basement finishes.
Crack Injections
Fast and affordable, our wall crack injections use expanding polyurethane foam. This seals isolated leaks quickly, usually in just a few hours, with minimal disruption and long-lasting results.
Our Lifetime Waterproofing Guarantee
A guarantee is only as strong as the company behind it and at Tomlinson Cannon we have been standing behind our work since 1948. When we waterproof your basement, we don’t just fix the problem – we guarantee it won’t come back.
Our lifetime warranty is fully transferable, which adds value whether you’re staying in your home or planning to sell. Homeowners, buyers, realtors, and lenders alike trust the Tomlinson Cannon name to mean one thing: a permanently dry basement.
