Budget Dry Deep - Channel Pressure Relief System
The infiltration of water into a
basement is generally caused by ruptures in the foundation at
the junction of the wall, floor and footing. If you live in damp
climates or ones with severe weather, as we have in New York and
Connecticut, your home could be especially susceptible to these
foundation ruptures. The ruptures are usually a result of
hydrostatic pressure resulting from a high water table. The only
effective way to relieve the pressure and to stop water
infiltrating is by installing the
Budget Dry Deep-Channel
Pressure Relief System.
Typically, the installation
process is as follows:
1. The inside
perimeter of the floor is cut about one foot from the
wall. Sections of the floor are left intact and tunneled under,
retaining the structural integrity of both the floor and the
walls. A trench is excavated that is pitched towards the sump
pit(s).
2. The lowest
course of block is drilled at every core pocket to release and
remove the entrapped water. For a poured concrete foundation, a
keyway is drilled at regular intervals to release this buildup
of pressure.
3. A 4"
perforated ADS pipe is laid in the trench and pitched down
towards the sump pit(s). This self-cleaning pipe is set in a bed
of gravel. A layer of polymeric drain tile is laid over the
trench and up the wall. The drain tile allows air to flow under
the floor and into the walls, allowing for the natural drying of
the foundation.
4.
The
floor is re-cemented to its original level over the drain tile,
exerting pressure against the wall and thereby adding stability
to the foundation walls.
5. To
discharge the water collected through the drains, a submersible
sump pump is installed in each sump pit.
