Sump Pumps & Interior Drains, Done Right
An interior drain collects water at the footing and routes it to a sump pit, where a pump sends it outside. We cut the slab, set the channel, install a sealed pit and a quality pump, and run a discharge line that actually drains away from the house.
A battery backup keeps the system running in a power outage, and we explain testing and maintenance so you know it will work when it rains.
Music City Excavation brings sump pumps & interior drains to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Do I need a sump pump?
If water collects in your basement or crawl space, a sump system can help. We look at where the water comes from and recommend what fits.
How long do sump pumps last?
A pump is a working part that wears out. Testing it regularly and replacing it before it fails is smart, and we can advise on timing.
Where should the discharge go?
Away from the foundation and away from the neighbors, downhill and not to a septic field. We plan the route with you.
