Interior Waterproofing

The closed interior waterproofing system is a state of the art method for controlling water from the interior with no excavation. Without a proper seal, moisture will leech back into your basement providing no solution to your problem. The completely sealed system protects against groundwater minimizing moisture and the entry of harmful gases into the basement. The system draws water from both outside walls and the basement center, where the water is then directed into the drainage trench. In addition, the complete seal reduces the presence of bugs and rodents. Should it be necessary the system is completely accessible to ensure years of efficiency.
