In This Episode

Products:

BasementGutter System

The AquaStop BasementGutter™ is an interior French drain system that collects water from your basement walls and wall-floor joint, directing it to the sump pump. This prevents water accumulation and addresses moisture problems in the basement.

AquaStop WallSeal Vapor Barrier

AquaStop WallSeal™ vapor barrier liners, made from thick plastic, keep your basement dry by blocking moisture and gases like radon. They also prevent mold and mildew, providing a clean and moisture-free environment.


Basement Sump Pump

Dealing with a flooded basement can be emotionally and financially devastating. Experts recommend installing a sump pump to prevent such damage, as it can keep your basement dry even during severe storms. Let’s explore what a sump pump is and how it works.

Freezeguard

The AquaStop FreezeGuard™ attachment prevents your sump pump from freezing and overworking in cold temperatures by allowing water to escape, thus protecting your basement from flooding.

IntelliBrace

SettleStop IntelliBrace™ beams are an excellent solution for strengthening and restoring walls, especially when they are bowing more than two inches and there’s limited space for external digging. Without timely intervention, severely damaged walls could fail completely, jeopardizing your family’s safety and your home’s structural integrity.
