Footing Drain Installation in Massachusetts & Rhode Island
Footing drains drive rainwater and other elements, which create clogging away from your basement wall into a nearby sewer junction. If you are facing continued leaks through your basement walls and floor, or a clogged drain. you will most likely need a footing drainage system.
Pioneer Basement provides a top-grade footing drain system fitted with fiber filter technology for homeowners in Massachusetts and Rhode Island since 1984. We custom design footing drains to suit your basement size and structure. We also utilize inclined slopes to make the drain perform better. If not available, we can provide the GrateSump™ sump pump system to actively pump the water out.
Why Do Footing Drains Clog?
Rainwater, soil particles, and other fine particles enter the drain and gradually form layers of sediment in the waterway which eventually blocks the drain making the drainage system ineffective. Since the water has nowhere else to go, it will end up finding its way into the basement through tiny gaps and crevices.
Another reason for clog is when soil is dug to establish the basement foundation and install the footing drain. When the soil is put back in against the basement wall, it crushes the footing drain if a proper method is not used, this destroys the functionality of the drain. Pioneer Basement offers:
- Footing Drain – high-quality footing drains that last you years after years
- Proper Installation – experienced crew follow proper methods for installation
- Fiber Filters – prevents fine particles in the soil from entering the drain
- GrateSump™ – remove water by actively pumping
- Affordable Prices – high-grade services at low prices

Only a few species of mold, such as black mold, produce hazardous mycotoxins that can trigger serious health problems.
