AKWA Drain
Strip Drain Used in New Construction
AKWA Drain is manufactured from
a formed plastic core covered on one or both sides with a geotextile filter
fabric. The fabric allows liquids or gases to be efficiently collected into the
drain core and transported out through designated exits.
CactusBoard Floor Edging Used in New Construction
CactusBoard is a solution for
new home builders that will keep the basement floor dry guaranteed. It is easy,
inexpensive and warranted for 20 years.
CactusBoard is the only
product that can ensure the floor stays dry regardless of what happens to the
walls or footing drains. Just keep the stone bed under the floor drained, and
your basement floor remains dry forever.
CactusBoard's unique dimpled design preserves structural contact between the floor, footing and walls.
The Beaver® System to Waterproof your
Pre-Existing Basement
Drying up your wet basement is the
first step towards a clean and healthy room ready for living, storage or
play.
The Beaver system relieves hydrostatic pressure without
jackhammers trenching through the basement floor or hauling mud and gravel in
and out of your home. Hollow baseboards adhered to the floor along the wall act
as a barrier collecting water from weep holes tapped into the blocks where the
floor and wall meet. Water travels along the hollow baseboards to a drain or
sump-pump.
The Beaver® System is simple in
design, but very effective. The system is composed of vinyl channels which
resemble oversized baseboards and is a fairly inexpensive safeguard against
basement flooding. This system can be used for poured concrete or block
foundations. By tapping holes in the cement blocks at floor level you will
lower the hydrostatic pressure that has built up in the walls. The Beaver
system is then installed in front of the holes using Vin-Con-Lox adhesive. This
simple system allow you to channel the incoming water to drain or sump pump.
