Additional Basement Waterproofing Services:

Waterproofing your home requires a comprehensive approach and a thorough and complete evaluation to target any trouble areas. The 20000 Leaks team provides a variety of additional services to help address these areas of concern. Driveways and patios require water drainage and waterproofing solutions. Garages which are below ground level are subject to hydrostatic pressure and benefit from either an interior or exterior waterproofing system. It’s also important to keep water away from your home’s foundation and the installation of downspout leads, field drains and box drain systems are just a few of the solutions we provide.

Vehicular Traffic Drains or Driveway Channel Drains

Vehicular traffic drains or channel drains are installed on the edge of a driveway where flowing water needs to be diverted from the area or the garage door. These trench systems include 4” PVC drain lines to redirect the water to another location and a grated channel drain to collect the water. In some instances the channel drain can be connected to a sump pump or subgrade drainage system if installed in the garage. Channel drains can also be installed on patios to redirect the water from doorways.

Garage Subgrade Systems

Below ground level garages can take on water similar to a basement. There are both interior and exterior waterproofing solutions available. An interior subgrade system is an ideal solution to collect and manage the intruding water. The installation is similar to an interior basement waterproofing system and includes, drainage pipe, Polydrain drainage board, gravel and a sump pump. If a vehicular or channel drain has been installed in front of the garage, it too can be connected to the subgrade system to divert the rainwater. Garage waterproofing solutions can include walls systems such as a 6 mil polyethylene vapor barrier or Polywall, extruded resin sheeting. It is also possible to waterproof below grade garages from the exterior using impermeable membranes and protection board. The team at 20000 Leaks will determine the best solution to keep your garage dry.

Downspout Leads, Box and Field Drains

Managing the water surrounding the exterior of a home is an essential part to a comprehensive basement waterproofing solution. Burying downspout leads and discharge lines away from your home’s foundation aids in this solution. If necessary box drains and field drains systems can be installed to divert exterior water away from your foundation walls too. When these exterior drainage solutions are combined with our Basement Waterproofing systems your home is fully protected and guaranteed to stay dry.
