Question I have seen a product that is a type of barrier that can be fastened to th
basement floor and channel water around the perimeter to a drain. I can
not remember the name of the product or vendor. Does anybody know?
Answer Hello George
If there is such a product being sold or represented, It would not be a proper way of dealing with intrusive water in a basement.
The object is: Keeping the water out of the basement!
If you are having problems with ground water seeping in around the edges of the basement floor, you should contact professional foundation repair contractors that have experience in drainage planning.
Allowing the water to continue seeping in below the foundation walls, will eventually cause foundation damage and possible settling and cracking.
I wish you the best!
Respectfully Ed Eckley
