How we build durable drainage

Effective drainage must be adapted to the house, the ground and how water actually moves across the site.

A strong drainage solution is essential for keeping moisture away from all types of foundations. When the property has a basement, the system often also needs exterior insulation to create a drier and more robust construction over time.

Standard solutions are rarely enough. Drainage should be designed around the actual foundation, ground conditions, stormwater arrangement and how the outdoor areas should be restored when the technical work is finished.

Drainage gravel around a house foundation

Drainage gravel and levels

The right gravel bed and correct levels are critical if the drainage pipes are going to perform over time.

Drainage pipes on site

Pipes and fall

Pipe position and fall need to be adjusted to the property, access and the actual stormwater route.

Stormwater pipe on site

Stormwater handling

Stormwater often needs to be reviewed together with the drainage to avoid moving the problem instead of solving it.

Exterior insulation board

Insulation and capillary break

A complete build-up around the wall helps the foundation remain drier and more stable through the year.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about drainage

These are some of the questions we most often hear before a customer books a site visit for drainage or insulation.

How do you know if the house needs drainage? +

Common signs are a musty smell in the basement, staining or salt deposits on walls, a damp or cold feeling in the basement, or an old drainage system that no longer feels reliable. An on-site visit makes it easier to see whether the issue mainly comes from drainage, stormwater or the surrounding construction.

How much does drainage of a house or basement cost? +

It is rarely responsible to promise a fixed price before seeing the property. The cost depends on the building perimeter, excavation depth, soil conditions, stormwater handling, machine access and how much restoration is needed afterwards.

Does Swedish ROT tax deduction apply to drainage work? +

In many cases yes, for the labour part of the work. As of January 1, 2026, the Swedish ROT deduction is 30 percent of labour cost according to the Swedish Tax Agency. Materials, machines and related costs are normally handled separately in the quote.

Can you stay in the house during the drainage project? +

In many cases yes, although the plot and some access routes will be affected while work is ongoing. During the site visit we explain access, safety and how everyday life around the property may be affected.

What is the difference between drainage, stormwater and insulation? +

Drainage removes groundwater around the foundation. The stormwater solution handles water from roofs, downpipes and hard surfaces. Insulation and capillary-breaking materials help the wall stay warmer and drier. For the solution to work long term, these parts need to work together.
