Soils in California - especially in areas like Thousand Oaks, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Santa Clarita, Santa Paula, and Thousand Oaks- vary greatly outside of basement foundation walls.
These imperfect structures often fail in keeping water out, and water can easily leak into the basement through the foundation walls, floors, and wall floor joint. For more than 100 years, this problem has been plaguing homeowners, and basement waterproofing contractors have been putting an enormous amount of energy into creating a basement waterproofing while most of them work some of the time, you need a solution that works all of the time.

Installation in progress of Basement System’s WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. This innovative new interior baseboard system can sit on top of the footing and allows itself to be backfilled with clean, crushed stone. Once a clean installation is laid down, it can smoothly be concreted over so that the overall visual effect in your basement is nearly invisible! |
Among the possible solutions are the following:
Of all these methods, the best option is to install either an interior subfloor drainage system along the perimeter of the basement floor. While this option has the greatest potential among those listed, it does have some challenges. One challenge is to keep the drain from clogging with mud over the years. Homeowners often can go many years without a water problem only to find that the basement floods due to existing subfloor and below surface drains clogging with mud.
Subfloor systems also face the challenge of draining water coming in through the walls without a large gap appearing around the edge of the basement floor. These gaps are ugly, potentially unsafe, and able to collect dirt and debris from the floor that can potentially clog the perimeter floor drain.
Basement System’s patented WaterGuard basement waterproofing system can meet these challenges and keep the basement dry permanently. With proper service, their design will not clog, and they install with a wall flange that can collect water from the basement walls while being cemented over so that the perimeter of your basement floor does not have the unsightly gap.
It’s designed to effectively and almost invisibly keep your basement water problem under control at minimal cost and maintenance so you can feel comfortable with your basement waterproofing solution!
