There are dozens of companies to choose from when it comes to foundation and waterproofing repairs in our area. Most offer similar products with very different pricing structures. The real differences that affect customers are where we separate ourselves from the pack.
If you’re going to hire a professional company to perform the work, the first consideration should be the length of time that they have been in the business. An incredible 85% of the companies that went into our field ten years ago are now gone. That means they won’t be there if there are any issues with changes to the structure. Is it worth the risk of that money if it were to fail and they were out of business?
The box system would sit on top of the foundation. This type of system would fail to channel the water properly because you can’t get the proper pitch for the water to flow to the sump. In addition, that water could sit in the system just below the floor, only inches from the surface while accumulating bacteria. These kinds of water remediation systems are far less expensive to install for companies that care more about making money than doing a good job.
When it comes to waterproofing, Matthews Wall Anchor & Waterproofing installs a deeper interior drain trench so that the water is fully collected rather than just sitting in the drain system just below the floor. We actually offered box systems for a few years (and still service them), but were unhappy with the results.
We provide a deep system that manages water at the bottom of the footer! We typically use three times the concrete and clean stone around our drains to ensure that the system remains free of mud and silt. This means our customers are given a highly effective sealed deep set system that will address water below the floor level, which results in a dryer basement setting overall.
