The Clay Bowl Around your House causes a wet basement
- When your home was constructed the ground was excavated so the foundation could be built.
- That hole in the ground is bigger than the foundation by a few feet on all sides.
- After the foundation is built a tar like substance is usually applied before the excavation is filled back up.
- That backfill dirt is loose and creates a permanent void that water is constantly trying to refill. This is the clay bowl around your house.
- The clay bowl around the foundation will always be looser and absorb more water than the undisturbed soil around it.
- The water fills up the clay bowl around the perimeter quickly because the soil is not as compacted.
- All of that water lies against your foundation and creates an artificial water table around your home.
A French drain is the best choice for wet basement waterproofing
- The French drain basement waterproofing system is designed to prevent water from flooding your basement.
- It 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.
