Interior Basement Waterproofing Systems
Option 2 – Interior Systems
Inside drains, as part of Everdry Waterproofing’s Interior Basement Waterproofing Systems, offer an effective solution for managing and redirecting water away from the basement. This innovative system is designed to intercept water at the point where the floor meets the wall, the most common entry point for water in basements. The water is then directed to a sump pump system, which safely expels it away from the foundation. This method not only addresses the immediate issue of standing water but also mitigates the risks associated with moisture build-up, such as mold growth and structural damage. By incorporating inside drains into their comprehensive waterproofing strategy, Everdry Waterproofing ensures that basements remain dry, healthy, and comfortable living spaces. The system’s unobtrusive design and efficiency make it a preferred choice for homeowners looking to protect their homes from the challenges posed by water infiltration.
We also install ‘weep-holes’—small, one-half- to three-quarter-inch holes in each block cavity—to release any water that may be trapped. The holes are covered with a plastic molding or styrene panel before the floor is re-concreted.
