The age of the home has everything to do with having a wet basement

• The tar on the foundation degrades over time.

• Once the tar is gone the foundation is no longer sealed, then the wet basement problems start.

• When hydrostatic pressure forms around the foundation the un-sealed concrete causes the wet basement.

A French drain is the best choice for wet basement waterproofing

• The French drain basement waterproofing system is designed to prevent a wet basement.

  The French drain is installed inside the basement, below the floor, around the perimeter.

• This French Drain controls the water, delivers it to the sump pump(s), and discharges it out of the house.
