Proper basement waterproofing includes correct installation of basement footer drains, and is part of a comprehensive Mar-flex Waterproofing System. This is especially important in any area of significant annual rainfall because ground water saturation causes hydrostatic pressure on your foundation wall. Even dry and arid environments need some kind of minimal drainage solution because flooding can still happen under certain circumstances. Saturated ground causes hydrostatic pressure on basement walls and even pushes up on the slab/basement floor. This can lead to cracks, shifting, water damage, mold, mildew, flooding, and a host of other serious problems. Foundation drainage tiles were originally developed many years ago to help move subsurface water away from the foundation, and pipe it to a location where it can’t harm the structure. We have several drainage solutions to fit any size structure. Browse our selection today, and see what makes Mar-flex one of the most reliable manufacturers in the industry.
