Basements Don't Stay Dry By Accident
A dry basement depends on a working drainage system: French drains, sump pumps, drain channels, vapour barriers, and proper outflow management. When any one of those fails, water finds the weakest point — and you start seeing damp on the walls or pooling on the floor.
We survey the whole system (not just the symptom), explain what’s failed, and design a good-price repair plan. Most repairs take 2–5 days. Larger waterproofing projects 1–2 weeks.

What MK Homes Say About Our Basement Work
Geoffrey P. — MK
"Basement had been damp on one wall for years. They surveyed, found a failed external drain trapping water against the foundation, fixed it. Wall completely dry six months later."
Tabitha R. — MK
"After heavy rain we'd get standing water in the cellar. They installed a proper sump pump system with battery backup. No flooding since."
Mervyn S. — MK
"Old Victorian basement, wanted to make it usable. They designed a full waterproofing system, did the work in two weeks. Dry, clean, transformed."
Adele F. — MK
"Drain channel under the floor had collapsed. They located it with sonar, repaired without breaking out the whole floor. Brilliant work."

Basement Drainage FAQs
How much does basement drainage repair cost in MK?
Basement drainage costs vary depending on access, water levels and the work required. We check everything first and confirm the quote in writing.
Will I know the cost before you visit?
Yes — we’ll explain any call-out charge before booking and confirm the repair or survey quote clearly before starting work.
My basement is only damp on one wall — is that drainage or condensation?
We diagnose both during the survey. Often it’s drainage (external water ingress), sometimes it’s condensation (internal vapour), often both.
