OUR SYSTEM: YOUR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING SOLUTION

Our patented basement waterproofing system is designed to address all the ways ground water enters your basement or crawlspace as well as saturated soil conditions caused by weather.

FOUNDATION FOOTER
The footer is normally made of concrete or block and mortar. When our system is put into place, the footers integrity is not affected at all.

WALL STRUCTURE
The walls depend on an adequate drainage system. Without proper drainage there will be unnecessary soil pressure against the wall. Also, the wall has an insulation factor that can be affected when the cavities have water trapped in them.
EXTERIOR FOOTER TILE
These exterior drains are exposed to soil erosion, tree roots and rodents. Our system will bypass this failing exterior drainage, while allowing it to function at the current rate.

SUMP CROCK
Most municipalities require the installation of a submersible pump system, for both interior and exterior systems.

INTERIOR FOOTER DRAINS
Our Waterproofing System uses interior drain tile. It is not prone to blockage by the elements that block the outside drainage, there is no active flow of water through the walls, as told by some contractors that use a scare tactic as a method to charge thousands more. If you have the potential for water entering the wall, that will be addressed at your consultation.
