Take a minute to think about what happens when you get a wet basement call.
Stop wasting time and money fixing wet basements by keeping them dry in the first place with...
 Now there is a solution for new home builders that is easy, inexpensive and warranted for 20 years! CactusBoard and CactusBoard II are unique moldings that form a space between the edge of the basement floor and the wall, and across the footing. This space allows any water leak from  the footing/wall joint or the walls to drain down into the stone aggregate under the floor, and then be drained by a sump pump or daylight gravity drain.
CactusBoard ensures that the floor stays dry regardless of what happens with the walls or footing drains. Just keep the stone bed under the floor drained, and your basement floor remains dry forever!
 CactusBoard provides a space to drain any leaks from cracks, form ties, window wells, and pipe penetrations – as well as hydrostatic pressure pushing water through at the footing/wall cold joint. Water can then pass over the footing into the stone below. If the floor never touches the wall and footing, no water can ever reach the floor – keeping the homeowner's belongings safe and protected -- and you out of the call back.
For all that we do right, sometimes it's not always enough. No matter what you do on the outside of the foundation, things can go wrong, and leaks happen. Leaks from cracks, form ties, window wells, and pipe penetrations – as well as hydro-static pressure pushing water through at the footing/wall cold joint can cause major problems for you and your homeowners – not to mention damage to their belongings.
At Basement Systems, we discovered that if the basement floor doesn't touch the walls or footing, and the subfloor aggregate is drained, it is virtually impossible for the basement floor to get wet due to leaks from the wall or footing/wall joint.
| If your exterior treatment fails due to human or construction error, CactusBoard will keep the basement floor dry – guaranteed. This means no more costly damage to the homeowner's belongings, and none of your time or money is wasted fixing a wet basement. |
