With the proper waterproofing solutions, you can turn your basement into a great living space.
Where does water in basements come from?
A common cause for water entering a subsoil basement in the St. Louis area is clogged drainpipes or downspouts. If your home’s drainpipes are clogged, rainwater cannot be properly carried away from the house. Therefore, the water saturates the soil surrounding your home and can penetrate your basement walls. In addition, most basement leaks are caused by a combination of water seeping through wall joints as well as through cracks in the basement floor. In these situations, basement waterproofing is the ideal solution to stop the leaking.

Drain-Main System
The Drain-Main System integrates the baseboard style waterproofing system with the subfloor tile waterproofing system. A benefit of the Drain-Main waterproofing system is that it requires minimal concrete floor removal. Finally, the Drain-Main system uses a secondary channel in addition to the main reservoir to collect any backflow. This system is proven effective in fixing basement leaks.
Flat Track System / Drain EZE
The Drain EZE system is a waterproofing product that collects water from where the basement walls meet the footer. This product then directs the water to the Flat Track basement waterproofing system, which also works to pull water from under your basement floor and lead it to a sump pump. These waterproofing products will stop water from collecting in your basement.
