Interior drain tile in Metro Detroit: what to expect
Interior drain tile is the most common basement waterproofing method in Metro Detroit. The crew breaks out a strip of floor along the walls, lays perforated pipe in stone beside the footing, and routes water to a sump pit where a pump sends it outside. A dimpled membrane on the wall guides seepage down into the drain.
Because the work is done from inside, there is no yard excavation, and it can be done in winter. It manages water rather than stopping it at the wall, so it depends on a reliable sump pump, ideally with a backup.
Hollow block walls are often drilled at the base so water trapped inside the cores can drain. Ask whether that is part of the quote.
What a proper job includes
- Floor removal along the treated walls and debris hauling
- Perforated pipe set in washed stone beside the footing
- Weep holes in block walls where needed
- Wall membrane or flange to direct seepage into the drain
- Sump pit, pump and discharge line to the outside
- New concrete patch along the perimeter
- Written warranty with transfer terms
What drives the price
- Linear feet of wall treated
- Number of sump pits and pumps, plus any battery backup
- Wall type and whether block cores are drained
- Finished walls, stairs or mechanicals in the way
- Discharge line routing to the outside
- Warranty length and transferability

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Michigan licenses basement waterproofing as a Maintenance and Alteration Contractor trade through LARA, and a Residential Builder license also covers it. Jobs above a threshold set by state law must be done by a licensed contractor, so look up the license number on the LARA lookup before you sign.
Permit needs depend on scope and on the local building department: work that cuts into or alters the foundation generally needs a building permit, and in Detroit permits are issued by BSEED. Any exterior digging requires a free MISS DIG 811 request at least 3 business days ahead.

- Compare pump brand, capacity, backup options and discharge location.
- Check the Maintenance and Alteration or Residential Builder license on the LARA lookup.
- Read the warranty and ask whether it transfers to a buyer.
