Dimple Drain Mats for Richmond Contractors
Dimple drain mats are flexible sheets of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with raised dimples. They create a gap between the basement wall and the surrounding soil. Drain boards from our Richmond company are similar to dimple drain mats, but are often thicker and more rigid.
How They Work
- Drainage: The dimples or channels on mats and boards form an air gap, allowing water to flow freely down the wall. This relieves hydrostatic pressure (water pressure building up against the foundation).
- Redirection: The water collected by the mat or board is directed toward a drainage system, typically a perimeter drain (like a French drain) at the base of the foundation. This drain then safely carries the water away from the house.
- Protection: The mat or board acts as a protective layer for the basement waterproofing membrane (if installed), preventing damage from backfill and reducing the risk of leaks.
