Basement Waterproofing - DryTrak system for great basement drainage

The DryTrak system is great for older homes that have a shallow footing or a monolithic foundation. What that means is that the floor and footer (the underground support for the wall) are all one piece. The basement wall sits 100% on top of the floor. If DryZone was to cut into the edge of the basement for a below ground drainage system, the wall could actually collapse. Since no one wants that to happen, we use a great alternative called DryTrak. It allows the water to travel around the edge of the basement instead of flooding all over the floor. This system is often combined with a few internal pipes called laterals, to relieve the pressure. After all, cutting the entire perimeter of a floor is bad, but a few small pipes that go across the center of the floor won't hurt.
