Our Basement Waterproofing Solutions
While many basement waterproofing options are available, it’s best to get a professional opinion and recommendations for what will specifically meet your basement’s needs. Here are a few of the solutions your Foundation Recovery Systems inspector might suggest.
Interior Drainage System
Water that leaks into your basement from the walls, floor, and cove joint where the two meet can lead to significant damage. An interior drainage system placed along your basement’s perimeter and just below the floor is the best way to intercept this water before it has the chance to damage anything. Our innovative system is perforated along the back and has a wall flange that allows its channels to accept leaking water from the three common areas listed above. This water is then directed to a sump pump so it can be removed from the basement.
Sump Pump System
The best way to waterproof your basement is to couple an interior drainage system with a sump pump system. Placed in the lowest point of your basement, the sump pump accepts water collected by the interior drainage system. Once this water reaches a certain level inside the basin, a switch is triggered so the pump will begin working to pump the water through a discharge pipe and outside your home. We offer a variety of sump pump systems to meet your basement’s needs, as well as a backup battery option to keep your home protected even during power outages.
Dehumidifier
The first two solutions are essential, given the frequent rain in Missouri and surrounding areas. Humidity also plagues the region and can wreak havoc on your basement and entire home. The best way to combat elevated levels of humidity is to have a dehumidifier. Standard dehumidifiers from big box stores are not designed to work with larger spaces like a basement. Our energy-efficient, self-draining dehumidifier is up to the challenge and works to keep moisture levels in check while cleaning and filtering the air, as well as reducing odors and the potential for mold growth.
