Interior Pargings
A mason's delight, but it will not work as a permanent fix. To make an analogy of it, think of it as the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke. Again, there is no warranty with this procedure.
Subfloor Drains Systems
This is the bulk of what is out there and, quite frankly, people waste a lot of money on other systems in order to avoid subfloor drainage systems. This is the only viable method for removing water beneath the concrete floor inside the foundation's footer for a post home only. |
Epoxy Applied Baseboard Channel Systems
Most of these applications work great under perfect laboratory conditions, but the reality of it is that basements vary in conditions. This system is excellent to bridge areas that you cannot remove while installing a sub-floor drainage system.
Interior Paints
Interior paints work great on the hardware store counter, however, in the real world, you are asking a lot from a coat of paint since water can enter a basement at 65 PSI. Once water has been stopped from a wall or beneath a floor, then a waterproofing masonry paint can be used for aesthetic purposes or as a simple damp proofing application. |
