Sump pumps – These pumps collect water (building up around the building foundation) through pipes under the basement.
This system could be less costly compared to several other types of waterproofing systems for your basement. The accumulated moisture is sent into a sump pump. A hollow channel is created by this baseboard which collects seeping water through several weep holes. Hollow baseboard molding – This hollow, PVC-baseboard that is glued using waterproof epoxy across that joint where walls meet the floor. Here are several kinds of basement waterproofing systems you could use as possible and effective solutions to basement leaking hassles in your home. You should always remember that basement floors rarely leak unless cracks are present. Usually along joints where the walls and the floor meet. That accumulation of moisture could cause a hydrostatic pressure buildup that could force water through cracks. Basement Technologies has been using this system for over 20 years and the unique mold and design was made exclusively for 1-800-BUSY-DOG.Proven Waterproofing Systems That Can Help Waterproof Your Homeīasements usually leak because water collects around your home’s foundation. A baseboard design has been in use for over 30 years. This system comes with a lifetime structure warranty and quite simply – it works. piece of theBaseboard Aqua Route®, inside and outside corners are cut and then 1-1/2’’ PVC is used to drain from the Baseboard Aqua Route® into the sump pump. If there is a block wall, holes are drilled directly into the block. These holes allow the water that is coming in over the footing to move upward into the back of the Baseboard Aqua Route® system acting as a “gutter” to remove the water into the Baseboard Aqua Route® towards the pump. If it is a poured foundation wall, holes are drilled through the foundation at a 45-degree angle downward to the footing. Holes are drilled at the floor wall joint. The preparation process is critical: scare fire the concrete and then sanitize the floor …thus making the seal virtually impossible to penetrate. This seal is guaranteed for the lifetime of the structure and is transferable upon sale. The Baseboard Aqua Route® System is made out of a ridged polyvinyl chloride colored gray to closely match the concrete on the floor and the foundation wall.Ī special two-part epoxy is applied to the bottom of Baseboard Aqua Route® to secure permanently to the concrete floor. This is particularly true if there are no floor cracks or penetrations in the cement floor in the basement. Water seeks the least point of resistance and therefore will come in the joint over the footing and under the foundation wall and then straight up where the floor meets the wall. Water in this over dig area creates pressure where the foundation footing meets the foundation wall.
Water pressure will build over the dig area by the foundation wall. Most basement water seepage comes from the floor wall joint. The Baseboard Aqua Route System is the perfect solution to a water problem in those specific floor configurations, as long as there are no leaking floor cracks or holes in the middle of the floor. The Baseboard Aqua Route® System was developed by Basement Technologies to address specialty floors with very thick, fiber reinforced, rebar or monolithically poured floors.
