The best way to solve a wet basement problem is to install a drainage system from the interior rather than the exterior, even if the basement is finished. By installing it from the inside, the water is captured at the most common point of entry—the floor & wall joint. The water can also be captured from the walls and prevent the middle of the floor from leaking by intercepting the water at the perimeter before it gets to the center.

There are numerous advantages to an interior draining system, the most important one being that it actually works. It’s also more accessible, less expensive, and has a shorter installation time than exterior excavations.

WaterGuard is the perfect product for the solution. It is a specially designed interior piping system that is engineered to be efficient and long-lasting. The main thing that sets WaterGuard apart from other piping systems is that it sits on top of the footing rather than beside it, which means mud and other debris can’t clog it because it does not sit in the mud.

WaterGuard also has a 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain wall leaks and carry the water out and away from the home. It meets all the requirements of a good interior drainage system and will not cause structural damage to the foundation, which makes it a far better option than an exterior solution.
