A basement drainage system is an efficient way to control rainwater penetration through foundation walls and to prevent moisture and condensation problems in basements.
Basement Drainage Systems
To solve moisture and water problems in basements, before waterproofing any walls or applying any insulation, you should install drain footings around the house and study the gutters and downspouts. Make sure that roof gutters (on your house’s eaves) and the downspouts are working properly. They should be well cleared and opened: otherwise, rainwater would sit on the roof and run down the walls damaging the building and your foundation.
