The Best Drainage System

A drain system might seem simple and one drain as good as any other. However, certain issues require specific solutions. In the case of a properly waterproofed basement, the right drain system makes all the difference.

Mid-State Basement Systems offers the WaterGuard, our most popular drainage system. Most systems are installed on the outside of a home. This system is installed along the perimeter edge of the basement floor, maximizing its functionality since it works in tandem with a sump pump system.

WaterGuard Specifications include:

  • Wall flange with 3/8" opening to collect water from walls -- There's no gap on the basement floor to let humidity into the space or to collect debris.
  • Ability to waterproof concrete block foundation walls -- Weep holes are drilled at the bottom of the blocks to drain the hollow cavities.
  • Resistance to clogging -- The system sits on top of the footing, away from the "mud zone" underneath your floor. Water is collected without the risk of clogs that would halt your system.
