To install an interior subfloor pressure relief system, (1) an approximate 12" wide by 10" deep trench will be excavated in the floor along the cove base and according to plan. (2)The trench will be lined with a filter paper and a 4" peforated subsoil drainpipe will be installed in the trench encased in "drain stone". (3) In the event of cinder block foundation walls only, weep holes will be drilled into every core and seam of the first course of block to aide in drainage.  (4) The drain pipe is attached to a sump pump system which will discharge the water into a pvc pipe which will go through the foundation wall to the outside. (5) The weep holes will be covered by a drain core board which will extend above and below the floor. (6) The trench will then be concreted over flush with the floor.       

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                   

  ADVANCED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS (ADS) subsoil drain pipe is manufactured in the United States and distributed worldwide. 

More than 40 years ago, ADS observed the cumbersome and ineffective materials being used for drainage and surface water control. Recognizing the importance of managing our nation's water resources, researched and developed a structurally superior corrugated polyethylene pipe that was perfectly suited for subsurface drainage.

Introduced in the United States in 1966, this plastic pipe proved to be far superior to the materials in use at the time. Its many advantages included lightweight construction for easy handling, high resistance to corrosion and abrasion, and strength and durability to withstand severe loading conditions. It was not surprising that the ADS pipe soon became the clear choice for applications in residential, agriculture, mining, forestry, recreation, and civil engineered construction projects.

  Foundation Construction

In order for you to understand what causes a water problem in your basement, it is important to understand how the foundation was originally built and waterproofed.

 

 

 

  BOWL EFFECT
The soil in the clay backfilled area is now "loose" disturbed soil, compared to the "dense" undisturbed soil around it. This difference in soil creates the "BOWL EFFECT".

Clay Backfill will swell as it becomes saturated with water which creates PRESSURE directed towards the foundation wall.

Loose Soil + Dense Soil + Saturation = BOWED WALLS                                              

                                                                                  

 

 

Carbon Fiber is the strongest wall repair system on the market.
Advantages include:

 

 

Our patented Rhino® Carbon Fiber Wall Supports link the foundation base with the house framing making it the strongest system on the market!

The carbon fiber is fastened to the sill plate with a galvanized bracket and secured to the foundation floor with a carbon fiber pin. Deterioration does not occur because our patented carbon fiber system is secured to the foundation wall allowing for an even distribution of outside pressure.

Rhino® Carbon Fiber Wall Supports can easily be painted to help prevent the aesthetic problem with potential buyers, or covered with white wall panels. 

 

CARBON FIBERhas been used in the aerospace, industrial, medical and transportation industries for over 25 years.

CARBON FIBERfoundation repair and wall bracing systems have proven that they can hold up to an immense amount of     pressure and increase the strength of steel and concrete.

 CARBON FIBERhas been proven to provide foundation repair that lasts.

 CARBON FIBER is engineered to be remarkably strong and will not bend, stretch or crack even under 10 times  normal pressure.

CARBON FIBER is stabilized with epoxy that permanently binds them to each other and to the foundation wall. Once installation is complete, your home's foundation is locked in place, eliminating further cracking or bowing problems.

 

 During the installation of our  Anchor System,   anchors are embedded into the soil  away from the foundation wall.  the anchors are connected to  steel wall plates with  anchoring rods. The anchors will hold the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. The  benefit of an  Anchor System, is the ability to tighten the wall anchors during dry periods when the soil has contracted. This enables straightening of the wall over time.
