Poured concrete walls have cracks from the upper part of the wall extending down to the floor that seep water, which relieves pressure. These cracks should be sealed (except the lower two inches); driving water to the bottom of the crack and into the Baseboard System. The water is then guided to the high performance sump pump system, known as the Super-Syphon

Most wet basement problems are caused by water collecting around the foundation which causes hydrostatic pressure. This forces water through the joint where the wall and floor meet, as well as through wall cracks or pores in concrete block walls. This system solves the problem by doing what paints, plugs, and under floor drainage can’t do - Collects water and drains it to your sump pump…. Without digging up your floor!

Pressure is relieved by drilling holes in the concrete block cavities where the wall and floor meet. Water from the blocks enters holes in the Baseboard System and is directed to the Super-Syphon. Since the Baseboard System is not bonded to the wall, air can circulate within the block cavities to help keep them dry.
