More About Basement Waterproofing

• Your basement is surround by the soils around your home
• Soils contain moisture
• Sometimes, like during spring runoff or heavy rains, the soil becomes saturated and the water has no where to go
• The moisture enters your basement through the inevitable small cracks that form in concrete
• Enough moisture, and you have a wet basement

Over the years, contractors and engineers have developed a wide variety of methods to keep basements dry. Some methods are more effective than others.

One of the best methods is to install a sub-floor drainage system along the perimeter of the floor. However, there are a few challenges to this method. One is to keep the drain from being clogged by mud over time. Many homeowners go many years without a water problem, then have one quickly develop when sub-surface drains clog with mud. Another problem is setting up the system to accept water from the walls without leaving a large, unsightly gap at the edge of the floor, which can collect dirt and debris from the floor and also clog the drain.
