Protect Your Home with Expert Water Management

Exterior

Efforts focused on diverting water away from the home

Highly Invasive:

A bunch of black wires in the ground
A man standing in the dirt next to pipes.
A dirt path with some trees in the background

French Drains

Move surface and subsurface water from one area to another

Catch basin

Provide additional system capacity and can function as an interceptor for debris

A backyard with grass and a grill

Swales

Calculated grading to move surface water from one area to another

Grading

Correct grading can divert water away from a home.

A yard with grass and weeds in it.
A hole in the ground with a black tarp covering it.
A coffee cup sitting on the ground outside of a window.

Excavation/foundation wrap

In clay or high moisture soils, there may be no other option, but to provide a proper water path and membrane at the foundation.

Minimally Invasive

Strip Drains

Strip drains offer a lower impact method of water management than a French Drain system, but have less opportunity to address future clogs or silt build up potentially requiring replacement.

A trench is dug in the grass to allow water from a pipe.

Interior

Diverters and drains

Providing ground water that has penetrated the foundation a path to the interior perimeter drain.
A worker is standing in the dirt next to a wall.

New perimeter drainage

When the original perimeter drain is clogged or has failed, a new perimeter drain provides a path for foundation water to be collected and extracted.

Basin/Crock replacement

Collects interior foundation water to be pumped or gravity drained. The crock acts as a interceptor for silt and debris and protects downstream plumbing paths.

Back up sump systems

In the event of a power failure, back up systems (battery and water driven) protect the home from foundation water overrunning the crock.

Interior Foundation Wraps and Moisture Barriers

Control moisture in the home by blocking moisture from evaporating from porous masonry surfaces such as cinderblock.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Baseboard Diverters

When an interior perimeter drain installation is not possible or feasible, surface mount baseboard style drains are a solution. Since baseboard drains are surface mounted, they are subject to being disturbed or damaged. Best used in crawl spaces or unoccupied spaces.
