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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

What you get when you choose us:
The most common problem is poor drainage or the lack of an effective system to drain water. If moisture penetrates through walls or foundations, it can lead to mold, which affects both the condition of the building and the health of the residents. In many cases, waterproofing of shafts or improvement of the existing drainage system is also needed. An inspection by specialists, like us at Artas Bygg AB, can determine the cause and suggest solutions.
2.Drainage is a system to divert water from the foundation of a building and prevent moisture from entering the structure of the house.
It can include:
Drainage around the house: Pipes and materials that lead water away from the foundation.
Draining houses without a basement: Even houses without a basement may need drainage to prevent ground moisture from damaging the foundation.
A properly installed drainage system protects the building in the long term and improves the indoor climate.
The cost of drainage depends on several factors, including:
-> The size of the house and whether it requires ground drainage pipes or other special solutions.
-> Soil type and soil conditions on the site.
-> Specific requirements, such as protection against radon or the need for waterproofing Stockholm.
For an average house in Stockholm, the cost is between 120,000 and 300,000 SEK. To get an exact quote, it is best to contact us and book an inspection.
The time to complete a drainage project varies depending on the size of the house and the soil conditions. The work with soil drainage Stockholm can take between 2 weeks and several months, especially if extensive excavation work Stockholm is required or if there are obstacles, such as large rocks or limited access to the area around the house.
It is not always easy to determine whether drainage is needed, but some signs are clear, such as:
Visible moisture spots or mold on walls.
Bubbles or cracks in the wall plaster.
Bad odors or noticeably high humidity indoors.
If any of these problems arise, it is wise to contact a specialist, who can determine whether drainage around the house or other measures are necessary.
A well-executed drainage system, for example with our isodrain system, will last for generations. However, if problems with moisture or water drainage arise, it may be necessary to have an inspection done to ensure that the system is working properly. For older houses that have never had drainage, it is often an investment that improves both health and the value of the house.
