Since hydrostatic pressure is a common reason for why moisture and water can leak into a basement from the outside, it’s important to address that hydrostatic pressure. While exterior waterproofing may work to an extent, it requires intrusive excavation to install, which can disrupt your landscaping, gardens, and even your backyard deck. When exterior waterproofing gets clogged, it requires the same level of excavation to replace. That’s why ‘58 Foundations & Waterproofing uses an interior basement waterproofing method. It’s easier to install and it ensures that the hydrostatic pressure problem is addressed—it gets to work as soon as the water table rises to the foundation, preventing hydrostatic pressure from being a problem and keeping your basement and foundation safe from water-related damage. What’s more, our ‘58 products including our Workhorse sump pump and our Channel ‘58 drainage channels are designed to capture and move as much as 3x the amount of water versus other competitor solutions.
