Wet Basement Solutions | Installing an Interior Drainage System
We demonstrate how groundwater comes in from underneath a basement wall and flow over on top of the footing through a cold joint. Our installation directs water away from the bottom of your floor and drops it into the “Magic Zone.” The “Magic Zone” is an area where we manage that unwanted water through pipe and stone. If you are a DIY type of person, you might appreciate some insight from this video.

Groundwater always takes the path of least resistance. What other ways does water find its way into a basement?
I just wanted to say that it's pretty awesome of you to take the time and respond to everyone's questions. I'm sure you've helped a ton of people out.
Take care and I hope you never get tired of doing good things
This video is fantastic. One question: what if my foundation doesn't have that cold joint and that concrete ledge on the footer? I have a 121 yr old house with a stone foundation that was later encased in concrete. I did exploring and found my interior wall just goes straight down. Because of this, i'm not sure how the dimple drain board system would work. I'm just a DIY-er with a tight reno budget so videos like this are a lifesaver. Thanks for making it.
Can we extend the drain board over the footing and on top of the stones that would be on top of the corrugated pipe.
Every single waterproofing contractor in my area uses that first system (WaterGuard) which you show how it doesn't work
Thanks so much for sharing these informative videos! Unfortunately, we live in Atlanta and are unable to call on you for your services. Do you know of any businesses in our area that offer the same level (or close to the same) as y'all? Thanks again!
what pitch do you use for drainage pipe?
I noticed u put the tube right on the ground then filled it with gravel. Isn't the wet ground under the tube gonna come up and clog the little slots in the tube? Causing blockage eventually?
do you add weep holes to the bottom of the basement wall?
Do you service Philadelphia
