INTERIOR DRAINTILE SYSTEMS

Experienced Interior Drain Tile Technicians in Woodbury, MN

POLYDRAIN – DRAIN TILE SYSTEM

PolyDrain uses air-gap technology to significantly increase water drainage and promote replacement of the foundation floor at the original thickness. PolyDrain maintains a 5/8 air gap between the footer and the replacement slab. PolyDrain is laid directly onto the footer and extends over the drain system. Eliminating gravel on the footer boosts water flow by removing resistance.

By extending PolyDrain up the wall, the weep holes are protected and any moisture from the foundation wall is channeled into the drainage system. PolyDrain is made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight (UHMW) thermoplastic, and can be bent and folded as needed with no cracking.

ADVANTAGES

Increases water flow into the drain system
Eliminates sweating of concrete

Allows thicker replacement floor
Excellent for thin floors and high footers

Heavy duty commercial grade material

Covering carpeted floors in the immediate work area with tarps
Covering all articles in the basement with plastic sheeting
Sealing heated air duct openings in the basement to prevent dust from spreading throughout the home
If necessary, laying planking over the lawn to prevent damage
Transferring all tools, crushed rock, cement, and debris through basement windows, eliminating numerous trips on the stairs and throughout the home

XYPEX CONCENTRATE WATERPROOFING

Xypex® is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing, protection and repair of concrete. When mixed with water, this light grey powder is applied as a cementitious slurry coat to above-grade or below-grade concrete, either as a single coat or as the first of a two-coat application. It is also mixed in Dry-Pac form for sealing strips at construction joints, or for the repairing of cracks, faulty construction joints and honeycombs. Xypex prevents the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction by causing a catalytic reaction that produces a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete and cement-based materials.

ADVANTAGES

Resists extreme hydrostatic (fluid-based) pressure
Becomes an integral part of the substrate (wall, foundation, block, etc.)
Can seal hairline cracks up to 0.4 mm
Allows concrete to breathe
Highly resistant to aggressive chemicals
Non-toxic
Does not require a dry surface for application
Cannot puncture, tear or come apart at the seams
No costly surface priming or leveling prior to application

Does not require sealing, lapping or finishing of seams at corners, edges or between membranes
Can be applied to the positive or the negative side of a concrete surface
Does not require protection during backfilling or during placement of steel, wire mesh or other materials
Less costly to apply than most other methods
Not subject to deterioration
Permanent
Does NOT work for hollow core block foundations
