3. VaporLoc Wall Systems

VaporLoc Elite is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that protects unfinished basement walls from leaks and mold growth. Unlike coatings that adhere to the wall and can deteriorate over time, VaporLoc is mechanically attached to the walls and will not chip, peel, or flake, ensuring lasting protection.

4. Dehumidifiers

Even with a robust waterproofing system, basements can still experience moisture and feel damp, leading to potential mold problems. Our advanced SaniDry™ dehumidifiers circulate dry air throughout your basement or crawl space, effectively removing moisture. The collected water is easily drained away via a sump pump pit, perimeter drain, or condensate pump.
