Interior Basement Drainage Systems
Interior basement drainage systems are designed to manage water that enters your basement, protecting your home from moisture damage. These systems typically include French drains, installed along the perimeter, to collect and redirect water, and sump pumps that remove the water from the basement. By capturing water before it accumulates, interior drainage systems help prevent flooding, mold growth, and structural damage. They are a reliable and effective solution for homeowners looking to keep their basement dry and maintain the long-term health of their foundation.
Exterior Drainage System Installation
Exterior drainage system installation is crucial for preventing water from entering your basement and damaging your foundation. This system involves digging a trench around your home’s perimeter, where a French drain or perforated pipes are installed to direct water away from the foundation. Proper grading and clean gutters are also important components to ensure water flows away from the structure. By installing an exterior drainage system, you create a barrier that prevents water buildup, protecting your home from flooding, erosion, and long-term foundation issues
French Drain Solutions
French drain solutions are an excellent way to manage water around your home’s foundation and prevent basement flooding. This system involves a perforated pipe buried in a trench, typically surrounded by gravel, to collect and redirect water away from the foundation. French drains are ideal for homes with poor drainage or those experiencing water buildup around the perimeter. By installing a French drain, you can protect your basement from water damage, reduce the risk of mold, and maintain the structural integrity of your home. It's a reliable and long-term solution for moisture control.

Real Reviews from Real Customers
At LaPan Waterproofing, customer satisfaction is our top priority. Read what homeowners and businesses are saying about our work:
Foundation Drainage Systems
A sump pump with basement drainage is a vital system for keeping your basement dry and protecting your home from water damage. The sump pump is typically installed in a sump pit, where it collects water that flows through basement drainage channels or French drains. Once the water reaches a certain level, the pump activates and removes the water, directing it away from the foundation. This combined system effectively prevents flooding, reduces the risk of mold growth, and maintains the structural integrity of your home, ensuring a dry, moisture-free basement.
Basement Water Drainage Solutions
Basement water drainage solutions are essential for preventing water damage and maintaining a dry, healthy space. Common options include French drains, sump pumps, and interior drainage systems, which work together to collect and direct water away from the basement. Exterior drainage solutions, such as grading improvements and gutter systems, also help prevent water from entering the foundation. By installing the right basement drainage solutions, you protect your home from flooding, mold, and foundation damage, ensuring a safe and moisture-free environment for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about basement waterproofing or LaPan Waterproofing’s services? Below, we’ve answered some of the most common inquiries to help you make informed decisions about protecting your home or business.
Is this a franchise?
No, we are a local business, and we treat our customers like friends and family. We are not a massive corporation, we are part of this community, and want to do our best to keep this community happy.
Why should I care about basement waterproofing?
A wet basement might seem like a small problem, but it can lead to much bigger ones. A leaking basement, or a basement that generates a lot of moisture, can attract toxic black mold or cause structural damage to your home’s foundation. A leaky basement also runs the risk of soaking any belongings you store there, increasing the risk of black mold. Basement waterproofing can stabilize your home’s property value and provide great peace of mind.
Why do basements leak?
There is a multitude of reasons why basements leak. These include:
- Malfunctioning or lack of footer tiles.
- Cracks in the walls or floor that allow water through.
- Hydrostatic pressure building up under the floor or upon the walls.
- Underground springs.
- High humidity that causes condensation.
- Poor sealant on the outside walls or no sealant on the outside walls.
- Improperly installed waterproofing.
- Leaks from sweating pipes in the basement.
- Leaks through basement windows.
Does basement waterproofing increase home value?
The simple answer: yes, it does. Buyers will not want to purchase a home that has a leaky basement, nor will they want to pay a regular market price for one. Showing that you’ve waterproofed your basement will ensure buyers that the home is protected, and they won’t have to worry about any leaks in the future, allowing you the potential to get more money in the sale. A qualified home inspector will see the signs immediately, alert potential buyers of the cause, and warn them not to buy until it’s fixed. This means money out of your pocket and a rushed timeline to complete the project. Instead, think ahead and waterproof your basement now before putting it on the market.
Can you provide us with references?
We can absolutely provide you with references to former clients. In our opinion, it's extremely important to learn more about a company and guarantee that they are the perfect fit for your waterproofing project. We can assure you that all of our clients have been completely satisfied and would be glad to work with us again and again.
What will your services cost?
It depends on your property and your own unique specifications. We take more time determining a realistic price for service levels that meet your expectations for quality and customer service. We don’t want to provide you with services that are not needed, nor do we want to exclude services that are required by your project.
Do you offer clean out installation?
Yes, we do. We can install clean outs which allow for easy access for flushing out your drainage systems. These clean out systems help to extend the life of your drainage system by removing unwanted dirt and debris that can otherwise clog and get caught in your submersible pump causing it to wear out quickly.
Anything I can do myself to correct the problem?
Depending on the situation, correcting the problem yourself is not a good option. You want a trained professional basement waterproofing expert to take care of the problem. If our trained inspector feels the problem is minimal, he will give you tips and ideas as to how you can take care of it yourself. However, if the problem is one that would need professional services, he will review all of the options available to you so you know your home is in the best condition possible.
LaPan Waterproofing being the better contractors
20+ YEARS EXPERIENCE LaPan Waterproofing was established in 1997 by the owner and operator John W. LaPan. After working for “The Big Waterproofing Company” for a decade, Mr. LaPan realized that his techniques, though working great, were not being applied by all employees. Being a perfectionist, he knew he could provide consistency and quality to all customers – all the time – by doing it himself. He found a reliable, dedicated staff to work with. Since then, all systems are working perfectly. We pride ourselves on having no callbacks due to problems with the system.
25 YEAR TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY LaPans 25 Year Warranty provides peace of mind that once the system is installed you will have a dry basement. The area we service will not get water again due to gravity keeping water in the drainage system and our “clean outs” giving us the ability to keep it from clogging. The system will truly last the lifetime of the basement. We had installed a system in a house then it burned down, they rebuilt the house and the system is still working perfectly! Another home was torn down from the basement up and rebuilt and the system we installed still works fine.
