Floor Drain and Sewer Line Problems?
D-Bug Inspects, Replaces, and Installs
Sewer lines are typically located under the foundation of your home. First there is the concrete floor, then a couple feet of dirt, and then the sewer pipe. In addition to being connected to pipes carrying water and waste matter, your sewer lines are likely connected to one or more floor drains in your basement.
Signs that something might be wrong with your basement drain or the sewer line include:
- A foul, sewer smell escaping the drain
- An overflowing toilet
- Water draining more slowly than normal
- Water entering the home through the floor drain
- Basement flooding that doesn’t drain
At D-Bug, we are experts at waterproofing basements, repairing foundations, and dealing with all the issues and problems related to wet basements and ground water entering the home.
On time, hard working, polite, answered all my questions, followed the plan as designed. Deb Bartek2023-09-02 I had a retaining wall done by them and it is absolutely beautiful!!!! Everyone was so nice ( they even started a week early)and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs work done. Paula Zagger2023-08-25 We had previously worked with another big name high priced waterproofing company and had a bad experience. We took a chance and went with D-Bug and we are so glad that we did. We had a much better experience with d-bug. They were on time, respectful, completed the job efficiently, and it looks great! We highly recommend them. Chris Gabsy2023-08-25 D-Bug did a great job installing an interior french drain and sump pumps, an exterior french drain, and regrading around the house. I would recommend them to anyone with water problems. They sheeted everything off with plastic before getting started, and left the basement clean. Nicholas Winter2023-08-18 Very quick and efficient, did in three hours what I expected to be an all day job! Well tidied up afterwards! Jon2023-08-17 Very professional crew. Showed up on time, completed the job as promised, cleaned up the mess, and reviewed the final product with me before they left. Highly recommended!!! P.S Also crushed the competitions price!! Eric Oddo2023-07-28 We had a pretty serious problem with a large and aging retaining wall on our property. Initially, we had trouble finding a company who would even consider the job, until someone recommended D-Bug Waterproofing. They were very responsive from the very beginning about our concerns and budget, and explained the process and what to expect from idea to build. They did everything possible to find local, quality resources to help keep material costs to a minimum. They did the job in the timeframe they promised and repaired the lawn they said would get torn up from the heavy equipment. The wall looks great! We would definitely recommend D-Bug to anyone looking for a professional and hard-working team, especially for challenging projects. Josh Hauser2023-07-25 Very quick work and very nice people. They said a day and a half. But was finished in a full day. .very professional and hard workers. Also cleaned up the work area very nice. I now have a new and usable basement. Derek Link2023-06-06 Everyone that I talked to was great and they did an amazing job. They installed a sump pump in our basement that we desperately needed and I couldn't have asked for a better company to do the work. They did however break one of my decorations that I found the day after next to the sump pump that I was not notified about. It wasn't moved beforehand which is on my part, but it would have been nice to have been at least told about it. Dana Whitacre2023-06-01 D-Bug team did a fabulous job on my 73 year old basement! The 8 person team arrived on time and went straight to work. They worked hard for 8 hours and completed the job in one day. They caulked and sealed the entire rear wall that had been leaking, then installed a french drain system along the inside of the rear wall of the basement (by jack-hammering out the floor where necessary). The walls were then lined with a plastic sheeting material to direct any water that may come in through the walls to the french drain. They installed a sump pump which was connected to the french drain to pump water out of the house. The entire system was covered with concrete to complete the installation. They also repaired one outside wall that had begun to collapse inward with a steel I-beam and a connecting anchor rod to pull it back to it's original location. They made sure that the area upstairs where they entered the basement was sealed off with plastic from floor to ceiling, the floor was protected both inside and outside. The team carried all the dirt and stone bucket by bucket outside the house to the waiting dump truck. When they left, you could not even tell that they had been there! They were very professional and hardworking. I would highly recommend D-Bug waterproofing to anyone needing a basement waterproofed. Lois Mabon2023-05-29

Camera Inspection of Drains and Sewer Lines
With any basement drain or sewer line problem, the most expensive option is to start digging up your basement and/or your yard to replace existing lines. In many cases, it may not even be clear where those lines are or exactly how they run.
We use a line camera to “see” what’s going on inside and locate the exact position of the problem. This takes some experience and expertise. As you might imagine, sewer lines can be filled with waste, buildup of grease and other materials, soap scum, calcium, and more.
Our camera operators know what they’re looking for and know how to find the root of the problem (and often, tree roots do play a part). They use rugged, self-leveling cameras to inspect your drains using powerful lights, high resolution video, auto-focus, and the ability to record live feeds. Many times we can use an eclectic eel to clear the problem quickly and easily. We look for:
- Roots in drain, penetrating the sewer
- Clogged drain lines
- Broken sewer lines
- Objects dropped into the sewer
Our cameras identify the exact location and depth of the problem, guiding repairs and helping us address your drain problems quickly and conservatively, saving you money.

Need a Sump Pump?
Your wet basement problem may only partly be the fault of a clogged drain. Or the drain may be badly positioned to handle leakage in different areas. You may need a Sump Pump to collect and redirect water out of your basement.
Learn more by reading our Sump Pump page and our article on Sump Pump Installation, Inspection, and Repair.
Installing interior French drains is not as labor-intensive as exterior French drains in most cases, making interior French drains generally more affordable. Interior French drains are also easier to maintain and repair. Because they are located under the basement floor, they are better protected from soil displacement, clogging, and damage.
If you believe an interior French drain is the best option for you, give D-Bug Waterproofing a call at 1-855-381-1528 for a free quote.
