And the original installations are STILL operating Perfectly! The Baseboard Basement Water Control System offers homeowners quality construction, superior performance, and the opportunity to turn their wet basements into additional living space - at a fraction of the cost of ordinary contractor installed drain tile systems. The Baseboard Basement Water Control System makes sense!

Poured-walI Basements Poured-wall basements have cracks from the upper part of the wall extending down to the floor. These cracks seep water and relieve water pressure around the basement. Seal all vertical cracks (or the complete wall area) EXCEPT the lower 3 inches of the wall or cracks with a waterproofing paint or sealer. NEVER SEAL THE JOINT WHERE THE FLOOR AND WALL MEET! This joint must be kept open to relieve hydrostatic pressure. The Baseboard Basement Water Control System will collect water seepage from vertical wall cracks and from the joint where floor and wall meet and channel it to your floor drain or sump pump.

Block-waII Basements The Baseboard Basement Water Control System is just as effective in block-wall basements as it is in those with solid poured walls. Because the baseboard is not attached to the wall, it allows air to circulate within the block cavities to help keep them dry. It also provides a source of disposal for upper-wall moisture collected by the vapor barrier. You cannot aerate cavity walls to keep them dry or provide a method for collecting moisture from the vapor barrier with any other method. It is another important advantage of the Baseboard Basement Water Control System.

FINISHING WITH PAINT OR PANELING. It's easy to paint or panel a basement fitted with the Baseboard Basement Water Control System. The Baseboard Basement Water Control baseboard can be painted the day after installation with any good quality oil or latex paint. Before paneling, fasten a vapor barrier of plastic film at the top of the wall and allow it to extend all the way to the floor. Cut it off at floor level and tuck it behind the baseboard. Nail furring strips over the plastic film. The plastic barrier will collect any water that penetrates the upper wall and guide it into the Baseboard. Paneling the basement walls for a recreation room or extra bedroom can be accomplished with 2" X 2" furring strips, sheet rock or paneling and normal installation procedures. But, the traditional "floor-plate furring strip" is fastened horizontally to the wall just above the baseboard. Sheet rock or paneling is then installed over the furring strips. A trim board can be added as shown to enclose the system.
