BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage System

For Western Washington homeowners, water in the basement is a serious challenge, especially when this area of your home becomes unusable. Address the issue before it damages your foundation and compromises the structural integrity of your home.

Cleaning up water is a tiring task, and store-bought wet/dry vacuums only provide temporary relief. You deserve a waterproofing solution that resolves the cause of your wet basement and prevents water from returning permanently.

The Aquastop BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage System, available through Matvey Foundation Repair, is a convenient solution that directs excess water in your basement to a sump pump, creating a drier and safer space. We install this system along the interior perimeter of your basement for swift water removal. Western Washington homeowners love the peace of mind our waterproofing solutions provide.

What is the BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage System?

The BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage System is a revolutionary solution that channels water to a sump pump as it enters your basement through walls or wall-floor joints. This cutting-edge product keeps your basement free from unwanted water, preventing damage to your foundation and structural components.

We place BasementGutter™ on top of the footing of your home’s foundation, protecting it from mud. A 3/8” wall flange lets water from your basement walls flow seamlessly into the system.

For even better results, we install BasementGutter™ alongside our other basement waterproofing solutions, which include sump pumps, dehumidifiers, and wall vapor barriers. Take the first step towards a healthier and moisture-free living environment by investing in our BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage System.

Ignoring these signs compromises your home’s framework, so contact Matvey Foundation Repair at the first sign of trouble. Through swift action, you’ll avoid extensive damage and more expensive repairs in the future.

Is Interior Drainage Necessary?

Most experts agree that without a high-quality interior drainage system in your basement, costly structural deterioration will occur. 

DIY solutions like wet-dry vacuums temporarily remove water. However, they don’t address why you have a wet basement in the first place, meaning water can return. Instead, rely on waterproofing solutions from Matvey Foundation Repair that guarantee a safe, stable basement for years to come.
