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 is drained by a sump 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 floorremains dry forever!

CactusBoard provides a spaceto 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.
