QBS Installs a next to the footer perimeter drainage system with sump pit, pump and discharge line. Our drainage system is designed to catch water underneath your basement sub floor as soon as possible.
All of our next to the footer drainage systems include poly cove (if applicable) which uses air-gap technology and maintains a 5/8" gap between the footer and replacement slab, creating channels for the water below and support for our replacement concrete. Poly cove is laid directly on the footer and provides channels for water also entering through weep holes and channels for the water to enter the perimeter drainage system. All around poly cove is a must have for your next to the footer perimeter drainage system and basement waterproofing project.
Once water enters the drainage system we need to get it to the sump pit so we can safely pump the water away from the home so its no longer causing damage to the foundation and moisture/water issues that contribute to mold growth. For this our team of experts manually create a pitch for the installed drainage pipe. This allows for the water once collected to make its way to the sump pit. This is absolutely key to make sure and perimeter drainage system is functioning at its max potential.
