Clog free drainageSome French drain systems are installed with a 1" gap at the edge of the floor. These gaps can collect dirt and debris from the floor, clogging your system. While other drains sit completely underneath the basement floor laying in the mud in front of the footing, underneath your home. Mud can easily and quickly clog these drains causing the drainage system to stop working correctly. Features of Our System:

For Special Applications, Baseboard Waterproofing SystemA monolithic foundation can be part of some home designs. With monolithic foundations, the floor and footing are poured together as one piece. This means the edges of your basement floor are indeed your footing and are very thick at the edges. A subfloor perimeter drainage system is not advisable, because jackhammering a trench at the edges of a monolithic foundation may damage the footing. The solution for waterproofing a monolithic foundation is to install a baseboard drainage system on top of the floor. A special dovetail design and two-part epoxy ensures the DryTrak won't separate or be accidentally kicked or knocked loose from the floor. Other drainage may also be recommended through the center areas of the floor, especially if you have leaking floor cracks in a monolithic foundation. Features of Our System:
