Wet Basement

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Brady Van Matre

Although not all properties with a wet basement will possess structural issues, it is rare that we come across a property with structural troubles that has a dry basement! The single crucial action a man or woman should do to enhance the health of their foundation, therefore avoiding a wet basement, is to keep water out of the foundation to begin with. Regardless if you require an interior or exterior foundation drain, a surface French drain, cut-off drain, or only need to have your lot regraded to ensure that rain will be able to naturally flow far from your house, Van Matre Construction can help.

Foundation Drains
If you have concerns with a wet basement or crawlspace, and your external grading is in good shape, a foundation drain may well be the remedy you require. A foundation drain may be positioned inside or outside your foundation, allowing ground water to accumulate in the horizontal drain, flow to a sump pit, and be pumped safely outside the house.

Exterior Drains
The worst part about an exterior foundation drain is the disruption to landscaping. The installation demands excavation of the outside of the foundation to the bottom of the footings (or wall if it is poured on drilled caissons). When the wall is excavated, we cleanse the wall, inspecting for fractures which might need attention. Van Matre Construction works with only the highest quality building materials: Although other companies spray the wall with asphalt, our experts cover the wall with Cetco brand AquaDrain. The solid plastic backing assures no water will make it to your foundation, the dimples give a clear pathway for water to fall to the horizontal drain at the bottom, and also the geo-textile cloth adhered to the face ensure that the product will not clog with soil. Doing this quickly takes water to the base of the drain system. At the bottom, Van Matre installs a perforated drainpipe, wrapped in geo-textile fabric, enveloped by a foot of gravel, and again wrapped in geo-textile fabric. The base drainpipe inclines mildly downhill to a sump pit in which a premium cast-iron pump eliminates the water-pumping it away from your house.

Interior Drains
An internal foundation drain is put just inside the foundation wall and footing, below the basement floor slab. An inner drain saves your landscaping, but does not permit waterproofing of the exterior of the foundation wall. The foot wide swath of floor slab is cut and removed around the boundary of the basement, and the underlying dirt extracted to the base of the footing, commonly about 8" -10" from the bottom of the floor slab. Much like the drain at the bottom of the external drain, a perforated drainpipe enclosed in geo-textile fabric is enveloped by gravel and covered in another layer of geo-textile fabric material. The pipe inclines gradually downhill to a sump pit where a premium cast-iron pump extracts the water, pumping it outside your home. The floor slab is repaired and the job is finished.

French Drain/Cut-off Drains
The term "French Drain", cut-off drain, or surface drain are variations of the same theme: the purpose of these drains is to redirect and capture water flowing on the surface of the landscape or just beneath the surface. Depending on the application, most of these drains incorporate the same perforated-pipe surrounded by gravel and wrapped in geo-textile fabric as the interior and exterior drain, with the drain assembly placed anywhere from a few inches below the surface to a few feet.

Whether you need an exterior or interior foundation drain, a surface French drain, cut-off drain, or just need your lot regraded so that precipitation can naturally flow away from your home, Van Matre Construction can help.

Similar to the drain at the base of the exterior drain, a perforated pipe wrapped in geo-textile fabric is surrounded by gravel and wrapped in another layer of geo-textile fabric. The term "French Drain", cut-off drain, or surface drain are variations of the same theme: the purpose of these drains is to redirect and capture water flowing on the surface of the landscape or just beneath the surface. Depending on the application, most of these drains incorporate the same perforated-pipe surrounded by gravel and wrapped in geo-textile fabric as the interior and exterior drain, with the drain assembly placed anywhere from a few inches below the surface to a few feet. Ideally the drain will run to where it can intersect with natural grade and drain away from structures.
