  6. 5. GUTTERS & DOWNSPOTS Clean working gutters Downspout extensions that can channel rainwater at least 3 feet away from foundation www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca

  7. INTERIOR VS.EXTERIOR DRAINAGE SYSTEMS Basement gets wet. Groundwater seeps in through porous concrete walls and floors.Rain leaks through rusty windows. Water vapour condenses on pipes and appliances. Plumbing leaks happen.Dark or white stains on walls are sometimes the only signs of moisture issues. The goal of modern basement waterproofing is to keep the basement dry by addressing sources of water intrusion.There are two major approaches to water management. INTERIOR DRAINAGE PROS Addresses all sources of water intrusion Installation is less expensive, faster, and safer No disruption to landscape and plantings • CONS • Doesn’t address clogged gutters and poorly graded yards to the extent these contribute to the water issue • It’s always a good idea to address these issues to minimize water intrusion www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca

  8. EXTERIOR DRAINAGE PROS Stop water from entering the basement Best for new construction CONS Installation is more expensive, takes longer Risk inherent in digging 8-foot trenches around foundation Excavation disrupts yard, plantings, walkways Limited protection: does not address water vapour coming thru walls, interior condensation, plumbing leaks Clogging risk from soils, roots An effective basement waterproofing solution is one that is customized to the specific issues of the home. www.aquatechwaterproofing.ca
