B-Dry® Basement Waterproofing System

YOUR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING SOLUTION

B-Dry® System of Southeastern Michigan uses the original B-Dry® basement waterproofing system. Our waterproofing system is designed to cure your ground water leakage problem in your basement or crawlspace as well as saturated soil conditions caused by weather.

HOW OUR SYSTEM WORKS

As the water table around and under your home rises and the French Drain that was originally installed inevitably fails, the water builds up and travels over the footing and under the footing, directly into the new B-Dry® System installation. Our new installation will control the flow of water at the footer depth, and will not allow water to build up around the foundation.

Water that enters through cracks in the wall will be diverted through weep holes (if concrete block or clay tile foundation) and enter the B-Dry® System drain tile. Any seepage through the wall is directed to the B-Dry® system footer drains using a wall membrane that terminates into the B-Dry System at footer depth. Since the high capacity, self-flushing piping system does not need a filter, like other methods do, water now flows freely and is discharged from your home and is not in jeopardy of clogging like other systems.

THE B-DRY SYSTEM INSTALLATION PROCESS

To Install the B-Dry® System, a 9 – 12 inch portion of the floor slab is carefully and temporarily removed. A trench is created to slope toward a drainage point. Weep holes are then drilled into the core of the concrete blocks in order to drain them constantly. We do not drill holes all the way through your block wall as told by some of our uninformed competitors. Our patented B-Dry waterproofing membrane rigid sealer is placed on the interior wall. New drain tiles are then installed in the trench next to the footing.

The concrete floor is then restored. Once this concrete dries, any floor covering tile, carpet or wood floors can be installed on top of your floor slab. While the installation of the B-Dry System takes more man hours to install than other methods, this process results in a longer lasting solution to keep your basement or crawl space dry.
B-Dry® System of Southeastern Michigan’s unique installation process and the proprietary materials used in our installation process address the ways water enters your basement or crawlspace and gives you lasting peace of mind to use the space as you please.

MATERIALS USED BY B-DRY

B-Dry® uses only the highest quality, American made foundation repair materials that meet the latest ICC specifications. B-Dry® only uses materials from well-established companies.

French Drains

French drain or weeping tile is a trench filled with gravel and/or rock or containing a pipe that redirects surface water and ground water away from an area. French drains are primarily used to prevent ground and surface water from penetrating or damaging foundations.French drains may be used to distribute water and also to to relieve ground water pressure.

Sump Pumps

A sump pump is a mechanical device used to remove water from lower level areas and discharge to an upper level drainage connection. Today’s sump pumps are very quiet, while producing a high volume of pumping capacity. Sump pumps are particularly helpful in wet basements. Water that arrives via the walls and floors is collected and pumped out of the home. Having a waterproofing system and/or a proper sump pump installed are options for keeping a wet lower level dry. Knowledgeable waterproofing experts, like those at B-Dry®, will be able to help you determine the best solution and whether a sump pump is needed.
