Water seeping into the basement is a year-round concern for homeowners. To offset this worry, they trust their contractors to install a functional and durable waterproofing solution to protect the foundation walls in their homes. Hydraway offers the best basement waterproofing system solutions that prevent moisture from entering a home.
Complications Caused by Basement Flooding
Basement flooding can have disastrous consequences. A wet basement leads to cracks in the foundation and compromises a home’s overall integrity. Repairing the damage to a flooded basement can cost your client thousands of dollars, but the potential health risks are especially concerning. Standing water in a basement leads to:
Mold Growth
Mold releases tiny spores into the air that harm your airways when ingested. People exposed to mold are at risk of developing headaches, asthma, eye infections, and respiratory illness.
Bacteria Growth
Moisture in a basement promotes the growth of harmful bacteria that can lead to a variety of dangerous infections when ingested. These bacteria spread to other parts of the house if you lack the proper foundation sealing.

Hydraway 300 Drain Board System
The Hydraway 300 combines strength with a flexible polyethylene core to produce a higher in-flow rate. This complete waterproof system is the most advanced and highly functional drain board system currently on the market. The Hydraway 300 captures water by relieving hydrostatic pressure against subsurface structures. This easy-to-install system operates at the weakest point in the foundation, where the footing, wall, and floor meet.
Hydraway 2000 Drainage System
The Hydraway 2000 drainage system is a flat strip drain solution manufactured for increased durability. This drainage system allows water to flow into a thermally bonded, plastic-molded structure and resists clogging better than any other system on the market today.
Hydrashield Wall Paneling
Hydrashield wall paneling is a moisture barrier for basement walls that eliminates the anxiety associated with ice melt and spring rain. Our wall paneling is aesthetically pleasing and transforms any basement into a viable living space.
Hydraway’s Simple Installation Process
While basement waterproofing systems that require perforated pipes are difficult to install, Hydraway’s waterproofing system provides easy installation with the following steps:
Step 1
One of Hydraway’s certified installers removes a small section of the basement floor.
Step 2
Small weep holes are drilled beneath the floor slab to release hydrostatic pressure.
Step 3
The Hydraway drainage system is inserted into the removed section of the basement floor.
Step 4
The removed section of the concrete floor is repoured to match the original thickness, ensuring the structural integrity of the foundation.
Step 5
The sump pit and pump are installed and connected to a discharge line that carries water away from the home.

Basement Waterproofing Systems Comparison
Clogging
Perforated Pipe
Basement waterproofing systems that use perforated pipes clog easily with dirt and debris, leading to water buildup and flooding.
Hydraway
Our interior basement waterproofing system is designed to prevent silt and soil particles from entering the system, resisting clogging and maintaining flow rates.
Drainage Speed
Perforated Pipe
Waterproofing systems installed with perforated pipes offer limited open space for water intake, some as low as 4%. A minimal open surface for water intake leads to slower drainage speeds.
Hydraway
Hydraway provides an 85% open surface for water intake. Our system is open on all four sides and offers rapid drainage speed.
Fail Rate
Perforated Pipe
The structural integrity of a perforated pipe drainage system weakens over time, requiring repair and sometimes replacement after only a few years.
Hydraway
The Hydraway basement waterproofing system is built to last. Our systems feature a 0% fail rate when properly installed.
