Drain Systems

A drain system can pull all of the water from around your foundation into it, redirecting it to your sump pump. These systems are the beginning of good waterproofing - they will ensure that you don't have to ever worry about your basement flooding again. Baker's Waterproofing offers several such systems, including:

• Waterguard
• DryTrak
• TrenchDrain

Waterguard

The patented WaterGuard® system has a design that separates it from the soil under your floor so it will prevent clogging. It also has a special wall flange that creates a neat space between the floor and the wall to drain any wall seepage, without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter.

The WaterGuard® system is applicable to all types of foundations including brick, poured concrete, stone, etc. Weep holes are drilled into block walls to drain water out of the walls into the system. Water enters the WaterGuard® system via holes on the wall side and flows in the WaterGuard® conduit to a primary pump or other drain.This system is warranted to keep your basement clean and dry so you can use the space for storage, recreational purposes, or to finish for additional living space.

DryTrak

The patented DryTrak® system is an amazing system which is made for basements that have problems at the cove joint. It is an above-floor system that requires no digging. It will never clog like traditional french drains because it is not sitting in the dirt. This system works specifically well with cinderblock foundations, although it can be used for other types of foundations as well.

The DryTrak® system has been proven in thousands of basements and will keep your home dry. This is the only system that is appropriate for monolithic foundation waterproofing - or a foundation where the floor and wall of your basement are poured as one piece.

TrenchDrain

In addition to the patented WaterGuard® system, we offer another system called the TrenchDrain. It is for exterior doorways stairs and garage doors. It will deal with the extra water that these areas have without spoiling your foundation.
