Helitech’s Drainage System

The Installation

  • In the instance of blocked wall foundations, small weep holes are cored in the cinder blocks to provide an easy escape for trapped water.
  • A Drain Channel is installed around the perimeter of the affected area of the basement or crawl space.
  • Bridging Material is placed in an L shape, above the drain channel to relieve relieve hydrostatic pressure and catch any moisture along the wall.
  • All moisture is routed through the system into a sump pit, where a sump pump is housed.
  • The sump pump pushes water up through the discharge line and out of the home.

Shown is the installation of the Helitech Plus Drainage System, which includes double rows of Hydraway installed vertically, next to the foundation’s footing.

System Components

Our waterproofing system utilizes three components to remove moisture and keep it out of your home. The components are:

  • Drain Channel – works to remove water and channel it far away from your home, by working in tandem with the bridging material.
  • Bridging Material is situated in the weakest part of your foundation, where the floor meets the footing, to direct water towards the drain channel.
  • Super Sump Pump System directs the water away from your home using a series of exterior pipes.

Helitech’s Drainage System is the perfect solution for homes facing persistent drainage and water leakage problems. Unlike traditional “French” or “drain tile” systems, our waterproofing method provides a permanent fix that eliminates the risk of clogging or water backups. With Helitech, you get a reliable system that keeps your basement dry and protects your home’s foundation for the long term.
