How come other companies find it necessary to relieve the hydrostatic pressure the blocks hold by drilling holes or weeps to relive the pressure. if the blocks supposidly act like a sponge wont the water eventualy find a way in?
They do this because they have NO INTENTION of waterproofing the basement to begin with. They create these silly ‘water letter inners’ simply to encourage the basement to leak, channel the leaking water to a sump pit and pump the water back out of the basement. Pumping water out of a leaking boat is NOT ‘waterproofing the boat’. These people are in the business of ‘water mitigation’. We are in the business of water elimination and basement waterproofing by the true definition of the word. The redirection of water and the pumping of water are not waterproofing and the installers of these systems will/should agree if their intention is to NOT mislead you. Ask them if their intention is to ‘dry up the earth beneath and surrounding the foundation’. When they say no (which they should because it’s just common sense that drainage can not) then ask them what’s stopping moisture and radon from entering throughout any portion of the basement.
