Drainage is not always necessary, but in many cases it is a crucial step to protect the building and the health of the residents. Our main goal is to ensure that drainage at the foundation of the house is actually needed for your house. Therefore, it is a good idea to invite Artas Bygg AB for an inspection of your house, so that we can identify the problems and suggest the best solution. According to building legislation, foundation insulation is mandatory for newly built houses - even for those without a basement. Unfortunately, many older buildings are not properly protected, which can lead to moisture penetrating into the basement. This moisture can eventually lead to mold, fungus and serious structural damage. Especially for houses with basements or in cases of problems with water runoff, professionally performed ground drainage is crucial. Whether you need to drain a house in Stockholm or just examine the condition of your property, we can help you. Thanks to our certified systems like Isodrän and our careful procedures according to Isodrän instructions, you can be sure that your new drainage system will last for generations.

-
01 Investigation of soil and groundwater
We start with a thorough analysis of the soil around the building. We assess the groundwater level and identify potential problem sources, such as poor drainage or high water levels. This step is crucial for designing the right solution, whether it’s for draining a house without a basement or a house with a basement that requires extra protection. We consider local conditions and climate, ensuring that the system is both effective and sustainable.
-
02 Inspection of water drainage
We inspect the drainage of rainwater from the roof and around the house. If the water is not properly diverted, it can cause moisture issues and damage to the foundation. If necessary, we recommend improvements to the drainage system, such as installing gutters or adjusting the slope of the ground. In some cases, it may turn out that drainage around the house is not needed if the issue is primarily caused by inadequate rainwater drainage.
-
03 Assessment of room conditions
We carefully inspect the rooms and areas you point out. During this assessment, we analyze visible signs of moisture, such as stains, peeling paint, or mold. We also measure the moisture levels in the walls using professional tools to determine if drainage is truly necessary. This step is especially important for older buildings or houses that have never had a functioning drainage system.
-
04 Recommendation of solutions
If the building lacks a drainage system or if the existing system is not functioning, we recommend installing one to protect the foundation and prevent further damage. We also take specific needs into account, such as including waterproofing of trenches for extra protection. If the problem is not related to drainage, we propose the best solution in accordance with the guidelines for groundwork Täby.
-
05 Cost estimate and system design
Once we have determined that ground drainage pipes are necessary, we present a detailed cost estimate and a customized project plan. This plan takes into account soil conditions, the size of the house, and any additional needs, such as waterproofing. Our cost estimates are transparent and designed to give you a clear understanding of the entire project.
-
06 Water diversion options
We offer two main solutions for diverting water:
Water reservoir or stone box: A stone-filled box, also known as a stone chest, placed at a safe distance from the building. It collects water from the drainage pipes and can be integrated into the garden design. This is an environmentally friendly and aesthetic solution, particularly suitable for areas without access to municipal stormwater systems.
Stormwater cassette: If possible and with the necessary permits, we can install a stormwater cassette that efficiently diverts water into the municipal stormwater system. This is a practical and effective solution in densely populated areas where rapid drainage is essential.
-
07 Preparation of ground for drainage
We begin the work by excavating around the building to reach the foundation. This step includes the necessary earthworks, where we ensure the ground is properly prepared for the drainage installation. We also remove old and worn insulation, if needed, to ensure the system functions optimally.
-
08 Installation of drainage and insulation
Here, we use our certified Isodrän system, which combines drainage and insulation into one solution. The Isodrän material ensures that moisture is effectively diverted away from the foundation while providing an insulating effect, improving the house's energy performance and protecting it from future moisture problems.
-
09 Completion of work
Once the drainage system is installed, we refill the ground around the house, compact it to prevent future settling, and restore the area. This includes the garden, walkways, or driveways. As part of our comprehensive services in excavation & drainage Stockholm AB, we ensure the work is completed to the highest possible standard, both aesthetically and functionally.
