Sump Pumps & Drainage Solutions
Excess groundwater is one of the leading causes of basement flooding, crawl space moisture, and foundation damage. Without an effective drainage system and a reliable sump pump, water can build up around your foundation, leading to cracks, mold growth, and long-term structural deterioration. Foundation King of Oregon provides professional sump pump and drainage solutions designed to control water, relieve pressure, and protect your property year-round.

What Are Sump Pumps & Drainage Systems?
Sump pumps and drainage systems work together to manage groundwater and surface water around your foundation. Drainage systems collect and channel water away from vulnerable areas, while sump pumps actively remove collected water to prevent flooding.
Interior drainage systems capture water that enters through foundation walls or beneath the slab and redirect it to a sump basin. Exterior drainage systems prevent water from reaching the foundation by intercepting it at the perimeter. When combined with properly sized sump pumps and effective discharge lines, these systems provide comprehensive protection against water intrusion.

- Prevents basement flooding and standing water
