One of the most important components of an effective basement waterproofing system is the drainage channel that encompasses the floor. Having a system that ensures proper water relocation will keep your basement dry and prevent the many adverse effects of moisture buildup.
Because the drainage system is essentially removing water from the soil nearby, it is crucial to prevent that soil and mud from getting into the drainage channel and causing clogs. Our patented and proven WaterGuard system does not allow soil in and as such won’t clog- meaning you won’t have to replace it in a few years due to it backing up.
The inconvenience of installing a solid drainage system is also a factor to measure. If you hire a reputable, experienced contractor you can minimize the inevitable intrusion and keep the cleanup to a minor issue.
Another thing to consider is a system that links the walls to the drainage channel. There needs to be something in place that will guide water that leaks in through foundation walls to the perimeter drain, which can then port it to the sump and afterwards be evacuated outside. We recommend the installation of the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, which meshes well with the WaterGuard drainage system, providing lasting protection for your home.

The Characteristics of an Effective Basement Drainage System

Water seepage can cause all manner of problems for foundations, so waterproofing your foundation is an important step for ensuring the safety and longevity of your home.
The biggest hassle of traditional foundation waterproofing is the digging. The immediate perimeter around the entire house needs to be dug up to install an exterior drainage system, which means that landscaping, porches, patios, etc. all need to be relocated, which creates a huge mess and serious hassle.
Stone foundation walls are porous, and as such can leak water from nearly any part. Installing a drainage system that can safely relocate the water is an important step, and at Regional Foundation Solutions we recommend the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. This drainage channel is set into the footing where the wall and floor meet, capturing any moisture and effectively evacuating it out to a set drainage point.
The next step is installing an effective vapor barrier over the stone walls that tucks into the WaterGuard system. This barrier will prevent any water leaks from getting into the basement through the stone foundation walls and also keep the wall itself dry, prepping the area for potential finishing.
The final part of this process is setting up a proper sump pump system, and we suggest the security provided by the TripleSafe sump pump installation. This features two AC-powered sump pumps and a third battery powered sump in case of power failure, as well as an alarm to notify if there is an issue with water removal.
Regional Foundation Solutions can install a proven waterproofing solution in your home, even if you have porous stone walls. Call or contact us today to find out more!

Waterproofing Stone Foundation Walls with WaterGuard and Clean Space Vapor Barrier

In the coldest areas of the U.S., wintertime usually brings a load of potential wet basement problems to homeowners. To keep our basements dry year round, we rely on drainage systems installed along our foundation perimeter to collect the water from rain, snow and other types of frozen precipitation. The water is then channeled to a sump pump to pump this water up and out of the home through a discharge line and direct this water as far away from the house as possible.
Sometimes during the winter -- especially after a significant snow fall -- the end of the discharge pipe might be covered with snow and ice, and water may freeze inside the discharge pipe, clogging the system. When that happens, the water returns back into the sump pit, and the sump pump will continuously recycle the water without the ability to get rid of it. Eventually, the overwhelmed sump pump may be unable to handle the volume of water and burn out -causing the basement to flood.
To prevent that catastrophe from happening, Larry Janesky and his team at Basement Systems Inc. developed the IceGuard discharge line extension. The IceGuard has a patented design with perforations to keep the water flowing out of the basement, even if the end of the pipe is clogged, thus preventing basement flooding.
Basement Systems, has been successfully fixing wet basements for well over 20 years, and using their accumulated experience to develop and perfect a full line of products designed to effectively and permanently solve all types of basement water problems.
The IceGuard extension is just one of the many smart solutions designed to keep your basement dry and exclusively available to you through a dealership network of over 300 contractors across the U.S., Canada and U.K.

About Sump Pumps with Larry Janesky of Connecticut Basement Systems

Sump Pump Comparison

In 2011, Hurricane Irene wreaked havoc along the East Coast. The Romanos and the Kesslers, two Long Island homeowners, had their basements destroyed by a flood for the first time.
To add insult to injury, Mrs. Kessler learned the hard way – as did many homeowners in the affected areas -- that the damages weren’t covered under their homeowner’s insurance policy. After dealing with the messy and costly cleanup, both families decided that they would take every precaution to avoid going through something like that ever again.
After shopping around, and looking at several solutions proposed by other waterproofing companies, they opted to have Basement Systems come and install a full WaterGuard interior drainage system and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System.
When they heard of Hurricane Sandy, which even before landfall was already being nicknamed “Frankenstorm” by meteorologists, they didn’t believe their basements could survive it.
In October of 2012, Hurricane Sandy hit the eastern shore, flooding streets and entire neighborhoods along the coast, and leaving millions without power for many days.
While all their neighbors were dealing with devastating basement floods, their basements, to their surprise, were kept dry and safe.
Even after the Romanos had to turn off their generators and lost power completely, the battery operated backup sump pump, which is part of the TripleSafe system, was working to keep their basement dry.
Once again, Basement System’s TripleSafe Sump Pump was put to the ultimate test, and passed!

There are a number of disturbing signs a homeowner may encounter that indicate a foundation settlement problem. Cracks on the exterior of your home, cracks in drywall on interior walls, doors and windows sticking or not opening, and/or your chimney pulling away from your home are all issues that point to the same problem -- foundation settlement. Foundation Supportworks' Push Pier System is the right answer.
