Hydraway Waterproofing System
The one environmental factor that leads to the most damage for home and commercial building owners is water. Water damage to walls, floors, and internal structures can lead to a whole host of secondary issues, so contractors and construction professionals in Virginia need quality products to waterproof the homes and businesses of their customers. Walder is our area's distributor for Hydraway waterproofing products because we're confident that they provide the best protection to structures with moisture problems.
The Hydraway System is used for crawl space & basement waterproofing in Richmond to protect your home and foundation from water damage. Once a trench is dug around the perimeter of the foundation, Hydraway is installed, and then the excavated soil is backfilled. Once the Hydraway System drains water from your basement or crawlspace, the water needs somewhere to go. Once installed, the Hydraway is connected to a sump pit that is situated within the soil. Inside the sump pit contains your sump pump that pushes the water up and out of your basement through the discharge hose.
Easier Installation than Perforated Pipe Systems
We highly prefer the Hydraway System for its easy installation. With Hydraway, there's no need to waste time digging more than you have to, and it doesn't require gravel. This superior geotextile-wrapped system has the industry's leading warranty, won't clog up over time, and is three times faster than a perforated pipe.
Installation begins by excavating the perimeter of a block wall basement or crawl space. From there, weep holes are drilled in the wall below the floor's surface, allowing an escape route for trapped water built up due to hydrostatic pressure. Once the Hydraway product has been installed in the trench, it is covered with new concrete for a seamless finish.
