French Drain System in Northeastern Wisconsin
Sure-Dry Basement Systems installs a state-of-the-art French drain (aka
drain tile) system called WaterGuard - a patented product only
available through Basement Systems dealers.
What makes WaterGuard in WI 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 service area includes: Appleton, Oshkosh, Green Bay, Manitowoc, Sheboygan and surrounding areas.

History of French Drains in WI
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, Sure-Dry Basement Systems has pulled out many clogged, French drain and drain tile
waterproofing systems.

In Wisconsin including Appleton, Oshkosh, Green Bay, Manitowoc, Neenah, De Pere,
