Universal approval for interior and exterior systems at construction

The need for basement waterproofing is obvious. Both exterior and interior drainage systems used together can be installed at construction. More contractors are understanding it..
The new trend in home construction is that of health and safety of the family purchasing the home, starting in the basement. The basement design has been plagued with problems that are all naturally occurring due to the materials and techniques of constructing the walls, footing and floor slab.

The UK has made large leaps in the introduction of duel layer exterior waterproofing techniques, which they are suggesting could be applied on the interior as well.

From the research of multiple drainage techniques and building standards the ultimate success stories for foundations are found when both techniques are applied.

Single layer basement waterproofing on both the outside and interior of the new foundation is setting up that basement to be a pinnacle of perfection.

It’s easy not only for the waterproofing company to install during construction, but it’s cost effective for the builder and cost effective for the future tenant of the property. By doing both exterior and interior drainage at the start of foundation construction, companies are becoming pro-active in preventing long term aliments for their newly constructed homes.

If the exterior system is maintainable, you have access to flush and force flow through the system as well as an interior system that is maintainable, flushable, and with clear discharge lines, your basement is protected both inside and out. Think of this technique as a mouth guard on both sides of your teeth protecting from both directions: exterior and interior.
