B-dry, and other companies stop the water from entering your basement, by collecting the water below the the basement floor and pumping it back out. However, there is a company that installs a Pink Jacket to the exterior that is guaranteed for 20 years. And they claim this is better because the exterior walls will stop collecting moisture. HELP! |

Iss1000, I know the problem - and have been trying to ignore it for years. Here is a really good explanation and advice site which I was pleased to discover agrees with my experience in Germany, where both methods are also used. Of course, each company swears its own is the best and absolutely adequate solution. Maybe I scanned the text to quickly, but I didn't notice its saying much about permanent ground water, a high water table or an underground water vein. Just insulating the walls down to the base of the foundation won't really fix that, whereas a drainage pipe around the foundation will (should?) be better. http://doityourself.com/basement/wetbasements.htm The final remark about paying for an independent professional consultant is good advice. IF he knows the neighborhood, all the better. Good luck, Myoarin PS. You can find many other sites with a search for: wet basement |
