French Drains

Exterior Drainage System   Installing an exterior drainage system at an existing building is the most costly, but also the most effective water control approach. This requires digging up the area around the foundation and rebuilding it similar to a new house installation. It also requires digging up shrubs and other obstacles around the house. American Structure Repair recommends waterproofing and insulation are installed at the same time, in addition to making any repairs to the structure. The traditional exterior drainage system uses pea gravel or washed rock for the backfill. Our drainage pipe will be set 12 inches below footer depth and will be placed beside of the footing.

 

Our method of waterproofing the exterior does not consist of a Spray Adhesive nor a tar application, we have evolved over the years and learned that those applications often fail due to soil expansion and structure settlement. Eventually cracking with it’s surface and allowing moisture to seep in your home.

 

 

 

 

 

             Firestone EPDM Geomembrane,

High-performance rubber liner is the way to go.

• High flexibility: Firestone EPDM Geomembrane's remain highly flexible even at very low temperatures (down to –45 °C), enabling year round installation in a variety of climates and terrain.
• High elongation: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes can elongate over 300%, which enables the membrane to stretch and conform to objects in the sub grade.
• Superior weathering resistance: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes offer unmatched resistance to ultraviolet radiation and ozone.
• Quick and easy installation: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes are available in large seamless panel sizes up to 15m in width and 61m in length resulting in fewer field seams and less installation time.
• Low maintenance: Firestone EPDM Geomembranes require little or no regular maintenance after installation. The Geomembrane can survive normal environmental exposure for well over 30 years.

Environmentally friendly: Firestone EPDM Geomembrane is an inert material with low environmental impact during production and use. In addition, Firestone’s EPDM manufacturing facilities have received ISO 14001 certification, a testimony of the company’s commitment to environmental management. The Firestone EPDM Geomembrane will not tear when your structure settles, shifts or heaves, therefore never allowing water to intrude.
