Moisture prevention is essential in any basement environment, because of the harmful effects of mold, mildew, and water damage to any structure. There are a few products which can help keep below-grade environments moisture-free.

Sumps Pumps are useful in home where the local water table is above the foundation, causing regular basement flooding. There are two types of sump pumps, pedestal pumps are located above ground for easy access, and submersible pumps are located below ground and usually sealed off. Sump pumps operate by pumping excess water collected in below-grade environments to a location outside the structure.

Drainage tiles such as french drains are common waterproofing solutions in many below-grade environments. Traditional french drains aren’t effective, using PVC pipe to channel out water from the structure. Mar-flex offers more effective drainage tile solutions relying on modern technology to guarantee reliability.

Its also integral when keeping your basement free of moisture that you fix, fill, and repair all cracks and holes in the foundation walls. These are the most common sources of water penetration, and there are many cost-effective solutions to fix these problems before they require extensive and costly repairs.
