Waterproofing your Basement - the facts! For Poured Wall and Block Wall Basements
Most wet basement problems are caused by water collecting around the foundation, creating hydrostatic pressure. The pressure forces water through the joint where the wall and floor meet, and even through cracks and pores in the concrete block walls. The Border Patrol ® baseboard solves the problem by doing what paints, plugs and sealers can’t do; it collects the water and quietly drains it away to your sump-pump. Pressure is relieved by drilling holes in the concrete block cavities at floor level. The Border Patrol ® baseboard is then installed along the walls and sealed to the floor with Border Bond ® adhesive. When water collects around the foundation, it seeps from the holes in the blocks, and from the seam where the wall and floor join, into the hollow baseboard and is directed to your sump-pump.
Border Bond ® adhesive bonds water tight in wet conditions! Use 2 10oz tubes per 10 ft.
