DRAIN HOLES are properly drilled not “punched” into all main, joint and corner cavities. This allows drainage and prevents water build-up in all conceivable areas. Care is taken to place holes into the void, above mortar at base of block.
DIAMOND DRAINAGE BOARD ™ Application of this patented product provides the homeowner with many benefits over conventional methods. It facilitates the unrestricted flow of water from the block, across the footing and into the drainage field. It eliminates the concern of sediment blockage in the small openings of tubes and other products. Diamond Drainage Board allows for replacement of concrete to the same thickness as the original floor with positive contact to the footing and wall. It also resolves the need for an “open gap” between the floor and wall and allows for easy installation of a moisture barrier. In most cases will eliminate the need for a bevel in the new cement.
WASHED ROCK is used under and around drain tile as drainage medium and filter envelope.
RIGID PVC DRAINAGE PIPE assures quality application. Large holes allow fast, efficient drainage and virtually eliminates clogging. Rigid pipe remains a a continuous descending slop to basin.
PLASTIC MOISTURE BARRIER is placed between the rock and newly finished cement floor.
SUPERIOR SUMPSYSTEMservice mark
Includes a high quality structural grade sump basin and a bolted down steel cover. As well as a premium grade totally automatic submersible pump with a check and high water alarm.
SEAMLESS DISCHARGESYSTEMservice mark
Our service marked system is virtually indestructible, it will not crack or break due to freezing and there are no joints to fail. It is one continuous pipe from the sump basin to the exterior of the home. As a part of every water control and removal system Standard Water installs, we add dual seamless discharge. An extra bonus at no charge to the customer. We do this in case the homeowner would like to add a battery back up system later. Dual discharge allows for additional pumping capacity.
The EPA and NEHA recommend that any time alterations made to a foundation radon testing should be performed. For your convenience and benefit - as part of every job - Standard Water supplies a free radon test kit.
