Excavation & Waterproofing
This is the only way to fix
a wet basement from the outside. The grade along the outside
basement walls must be excavated to the footing and repaired
as needed. Then the MoistureLoc Membrane is applies to the
basement exterior wall from the footing to the current grade
level. Next, the ML Drain Board is installed on top of the
waterproofing membranes. Any penetrations in the ML Drain
Board is installed. A solid pipe gravity discharge to daylight
is then connected to the foundation drain. Then the excavated
soil must be back-filled to an even level or lower with the highest level of waterproofing.
While this is one of the
most efficient methods of protecting the basement from
moisture, it is not always the most economical due to the
amount of time, and equipment involved. Sometimes this option
is not available if areas which need protection are
inaccessible due to garage slabs, porches or driveways.
Interior Sub-Floor Drainage
System
An interior sub-floor
drainage system is applicable to all types of foundations
including block, poured concentrate, stone, etc. The drain is
set in the floor around the interior basement perimeter. Weep
holes are drilled in to block walls to drain water out of the
walls into the system. Water enters the sub-floor drain system
via holes on the wall side and flows in the drain to a sump
pump or other drain.
The sub-floor drain system
intercepts water at the perimeter of your basement and drains
it, unseen, safely away-guaranteed! The system will keep your
basement clean and dry so you can use the space for storage,
recreational purposes, or to finish for additional living
space.
Interior Baseboard Drainage system (ML Beaver Drain)
The MoistureLoc Beaver
Drain System combines superior Materials and practical design
to remove seepage from the troublesome
drain. The removal of this water lowers the water table around your foundation, thus relieving hydrostatic pressure. The ML Beaver Drain System is very effective on all types of foundations including poured concrete, brick, block, stones etc. The ML Beaver Drain System will keep your basement clean and dry so you can use the space for storage, recreational purposes or to finish for additional living space. There is no costly digging or damages to landscaping, sidewalks, porches or lawns outside.
