Water in the Basement

Basements are imperfect concrete structures built in soils that vary from region to region. Water in the soil leaking into basements is a problem that has troubled homeowners for more than 100 years. This water will enter the basement through the walls, floors, and joints between them. Over the years, contractors and engineers have developed a wide variety of methods to keep basements dry. Some of these methods are more effective than others. There are many possible solutions, including:

• Exterior Excavation
• Interior Subfloor
• Interior Baseboard System
• Negative-side Sealant

The best of these methods is to install either an interior subfloor drainage system or a baseboard drainage system along the perimeter of the floor.
