Properly protecting a structure’s foundation from the potentially harmful and expensive damage that water can cause is an integral part of maintaining its structural integrity.  Controlling groundwater is a key component of a successful strategy in providing this protection.  There are a number of pre-manufactured soil and drainage systems that can be utilized to accomplish this.  Additionally, there are drainage systems available that work in conjunction with both horizontal and vertical below-grade waterproofing systems that effectively reduce hydrostatic pressure against below-grade envelope components.  Everclear Enterprises, Inc. routinely incorporates these relatively low-cost solutions into their below-grade repair strategy.
