basements, foundations and wet crawl spaces.
DIY methods and basement wall water proofing products provide a low cost alternative but typically don’t address all 5 ways that water can enter your basement, so they provide a partial solution. For water drainage, flooding and/or seepage problems, basement waterproofing products such as basement wall paint, waterproofing compound and coatings, waterproofing sealers (or sealants) for interior and exterior waterproofing can assist with specific water entry points. Other basement structure products that may need replacing or upgrading to enhance your basement waterproofing efforts are quality sump pumps with the latest technology features and french drains.
There are many basement waterproofing solution companies and most offer waterproofing systems with warranties that provide “lifetime maintenance.” This typically means that the waterproofing company will fix your installed waterproofing system every time it breaks. The B-Dry System takes a different approach by providing the strongest warranty in the industry that offers a PERMANENT SOLUTION that addresses all 5 ways water can drain, seep or enter your basement through basement wall cracks, mortar joints, floor cracks, from bleeding and sweating of basement walls, over and under the footer. The B-Dry Basement Waterproofing System is a “total solution” with a full life of structure warranty and fully transferable.
