 BASEMENT PLAGUED WITH WATER AND MOISTURE PROBLEMS? 
 
 
 
This photo shows how baseboard de-watering track systems look when professionally installed; clean, neat and dry.
 
 
 
 
If you are dealing with a wet basement, you should take the time to learn what processes really work.  Simply tuck-pointing or painting the wall with a waterproofing paint will not produce lasting results.  Actually, these "quick fixes" may end up causing more damage to your foundation. 

 

 

This illustration shows how baseboard track systems work; catching water at floor level and channeling it to a sump or drain.  These systems handle water coming in from basement walls.  Over 75% of homes in the Midwest with wet basements have water coming in from the walls.  Many people choose these systems because they work well and cost less than all other types of water control. 

 

 

Our paintable baseboard channel is approximately 4 inches tall and protrudes from the wall approximately 1½ inches. Our sub-floor systems become permanent fixtures below your concrete basement floor

 

This illustration shows how the sub-floor track systms work; catching water below the floor and at the wall, channeling it to the sump or drain.  Sub-floor systems also include interior drain tile, depending upon the needs of the home.  Sub-floor systems are designed to handle water coming in from the basement walls and up from under the floor.  Water that comes up from under the floor may be due to a high water table. 

 

 

 

 

We install complete sump pump and basin systems.   We also install backup systems and specialty discharge lines to deal with the collected water.  Our sump basins are also designed to help remove water from under the basement floor.

We offer several types of basement waterproofing systems that will protect your home, valuables, and basement walls from water damage. In addition to interior systems, we also offer landscape regrading and exterior waterproofing to control water outside your home. 

 

Below is an example of soil / landscape regrading.

All of our systems relieve your basement walls from the strain of hydrostatic pressure (which usually leads to bowing and cracking) and channels that water away for proper discharge. The water collected can be routed into a sump pump or existing drain.
