The FlowGuard®: Thin Floor Weeping Tile System
A Below-Floor Waterproofing Solution For Thin Concrete Basement Floors
What It Does:
At Basement Systems, we recommend jackhammering the interior perimeter of the concrete slab floor and placing the perimeter drain system on the foundation footing.
However, if your concrete slab floor is extremely thin, a standard drain will not be able to rest on the foundation's footing without sticking up out of the floor. This will not work!
In these situations, our dealers will usually suggest the FlowGuard Thin Floor Weeping Tile System.
This drainage channel collects water from the basement walls with a wall flange, while a drain system under the floor brings all water to a sump pump system.
Advantages To Our System:
- A Narrow Drainage Channel System That Fits Easily Under A Thin Concrete Slab
- A Wall Flange That Extends Upwards To Collect Water From The Basement Walls
Our weeping tile system is ideal for waterproofing any basement with a thin concrete slab floor! To schedule your free weeping tile installation estimate, contact us by phone or e-mail today!
Once your weeping tile system has been installed, our contractors will restore your basement floor with fresh concrete so that it looks as great!
Avoiding The "Mud Zone"
Since this weeping tile system is installed in front of the footer, it may lie within the "mud zone", where mud underneath the floor threatens to clog your perimeter drain system.
To avoid issues with this, a generous layer of clean stone is poured underneath and around the drain as it's installed. Its unique channel design, instead of a "pipe" that could clog, also helps to avoid clogging.
Water Coming In From Floor Cracks
Leaking floor cracks are no trouble at all for us! Most floor cracks will stop leaking once a perimeter drain system and sump pump system has been installed.
If additional drainage is needed, we can direct a line from the crack location over to your sump pump.
