French Drain Systems for Ohio Basements
Dry Basement Solutions By Certified Waterproofing Contractors throughout OH
Different problems call for different tools to fix them. In the same way that we wouldn't use a hammer to pound in a screw, we wouldn't use a basement drain to waterproof a crawl space.
Superior Basement Systems has every drainage solution you need to create dry, usable space in your basement or crawl space. We have specialized drainage systems that we customize for your unique problem-- no matter what that problem may be. For a free basement waterproofing quote, call or e-mail us today! Our installations take one, perhaps two days.
The WaterGuard Drainage System
Our most popular drainage system, WaterGuard is the ideal solution for most basement waterproofing applications.
Unlike old-fashioned drain tile systems installed on the outside of the home, WaterGuard is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor. It's fully compatible with basement wall systems and radon mitigation systems.
WaterGuard Specifications
- Includes wall flange with 3/8" opening to collect water from walls-- There's no gap on the basement floor to let humidity into the space and collect debris
- Able to waterproof concrete block foundation walls -- Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the block to drain cavities.
- Will not clog with mud -- The system sits in a bed of clean stone, away from the "mud zone" underneath your floor. Water is collected without the risk of clogs that would halt your system.
DryTrak Monolithic Floor Drain
As a baseboard drainage system, DryTrak installs above the floor and along the inside perimeter of the basement.
If you have a monolithic floor, meaning that your floor and footer were poured at the same time, this is the drainage system that's ideal for you. Your contractor may also recommend it if you have extremely thick basement floors.
DryTrak Specifications
- Installs without jackhammering a drain channel -- Your monolithic floor (and your foundation footing) will not be damaged during installation.
- Able to waterproof concrete block foundation walls -- As with WaterGuard, weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the block to drain cavities.
- Will not collect mud or debris -- As a sealed basement drain that is placed on top of your basement floor and against the wall, there is no opening for debris to collect in the system from the basement floor.
Other Drainage Systems
Along with our WaterGuard and DryTrak systems, we offer all of the following specialized drainage systems. Click on any one for more information:
SmartPipe:Crawl Space Drainage |
TrenchDrain:Grated Basement Drain |
WaterGuard IOS:Iron Ochre System |
FlowGuard: Thin Floor System |
SmartPipe
Perfect for the crawl space environment, this plastic piping system is designed to be installed in a drainage swale running along the perimeter.
Combined with a crawl space vapor barrier and sump pump, it will direct water underneath the plastic barrier to the sump pump, where the water is discharged from your home.
The SmartPipe system is the first custom-engineered crawl space drain on the market. With five perforated rows of drainage holes and a clog-resistant filter fabric, it's a cost-effective and long-lasting way to keep your space dry for the long haul.
Trench Drain
Many homeowners have concerns with water flowing in through exterior doorways, stairways, and garage door openings. A normal drainage system cannot address this problem.
For these situations, we recommend the TrenchDrain drain channel and grating system. This is specifically designed to intercept water at doorways and similar openings and direct it to your sump pump.
TrenchDrain resembles half of a piping system with a grate fitted snugly on top. The grate is flush with or slightly below the floor, where it can catch entering from the outside.
WaterGuard IOS
In some rarer cases, homeowners with high iron levels in their water will experience a thick, reddish substance oozing through when the basement floods.
This material is called "iron ochre", and it comes from both bacterial origins and from chemical reactions in the soil. It can easily clog your drainage system and stain your concrete, as well as anything else it touches.
WaterGuard: Iron Ochre System (IOS) is the answer for homeowners with iron ochre in their water. This drain is specifically designed with wide openings and a large, open drainage system that will help your system avoid clogging.
FlowGuard
Installing a drainage system along the footing is the way to go with most perimeter drainage systems. However, when basement floors are very thin, it may be impossible to "hide" a normal drain under the floor in this way.
For homeowners with thin basement floors, we recommend FlowGuard, along with a drain installed in front of the footing.
FlowGuard will collect water from the wall/floor joint, as well as the basement walls. It then directs it to a drain that's placed in front of your foundation footer and underneath the floor. It's the best of both worlds for an unusual situation.
