FORM-A-DRAIN

Foundation Drainage Systems
What you don’t know might hurt you…

Out of sight, out of mind – not always true, especially when it comes to your home’s basement.  But if your home’s foundation started with FORM-A-DRAIN, you can put your mind at ease.  A quality-built home begins at the very foundation of the structure.  The footing goes in before the slab of the foundation, acting as the base for the basement walls.

FORM-A-DRAIN is installed as the footing form (1).  It provides a superior means of forming the footing as compared to traditional methods.  FORM-A-DRAIN’s second and perhaps most important function is a foundation drain system (2).  FORM-A-DRAIN can either channel water into a sump pit built into the basement floor, which then is pumped out by a sump pump, or it can be channeled outside, draining away from the structure.  Since it began as the footing form, FORM-A-DRAIN is a perfectly located drain system directly against the side of the footing, below the basement wall, and under the basement slab.  This is ideal in equalizing hydro-static pressures that occur.  Homes built with FORM-A-DRAIN benefit from a third function, that being a radon evacuation system (3).  With simple adaptation, FORM-A-DRAIN can provide a means of ventilating radon gas in areas where radon is a potential hazard.  It can be installed as a passive system which can adapt over to an active system should high levels of radon be evident. Have greater peace of mind.  Know your home started with a sound foundation.  FORM-A-DRAIN, the revolutionary 3-in-1 product.
