It's important that you know


All Waterproofing is not the same!



Chances are you have visited this site because you have leaking foundation walls in your basement or crawlspace area and have tried everything to stop the water from coming in, but have failed. As we've said earlier, "it's your home and you need to protect it." But deciding exactly what option and what type system to purchase can be quite confusing and extremely frustrating. Interior systems, exterior systems, guarantees, cost, and special deals all must be taken into consideration...and each must be examined very closely. Beyond these considerations you must understand that your decision will affect your family, your home, its resale value, and ultimately your future. There is no room for error...your decision must be accurate. Unfortunately Structural Decay, Health Risk, and Property Devaluation could be the price paid for making an uninformed decision.

We make decisions every day...what to wear, what to eat, when to speak, where to go, etc. When it comes to selecting the groceries we squeeze the bread to make sure that it's fresh and we carefully rotate the apple to make sure there are no bad spots. But what about waterproofing? We have no training or natural instincts to rely on.  We're lost, and completely dependant upon what we are told by someone wishing to sell their services, a person we've never seen before. It can be quite frightening and we at Barrier Waterproofing Systems totally agree, understand, and would like to help. Therefore, the following facts are submitted in order to assist you in making an informed decision.

INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR WATERPROOFING?

MOST TYPICAL INTERIOR SYSTEMS          THE BARRIER EXTERIOR SYSTEM

Workers and Mess inside your homeAll work Outside of your home, No Mess inside
Foundation walls remain Wet Foundation walls are Guaranteed Dry
Water enters home and is redirected out No water will enter your home
System could be overwhelmed by floodingSystem functions properly regardless of conditions

WHAT ABOUT GUARANTEES?

Guarantees are written by the Corporate Attorney for the protection of the Corporation and not yours. This can be easily proven by simply reading the guarantee on any product you have ever purchased. Be sure to read all the fine print as well. Most guarantees honestly aren't worth the paper they are written on!

Unfortunately this is also the case with most "Lifetime guarantees" issued by waterproofing companies.  When you read the fine print you will discover that these guarantees do not cover "dampness of walls and/or floors treated", "flood conditions or when pump is overwhelmed", "damp spot discoloration of walls", "sump pumps", or other similar language.  After reading these guarantees you find yourself asking,..what am I paying for and what is being guaranteed?   Should the salesperson attempt to convince you that what you have read in his guarantee is not true, just ask him to put it in writing and have it signed by an authorized corporate officer before you go any further!  Chances are you will never hear from him again.  When it comes to any guarantee our advice is BUYER BEWARE...READ ALL THE FINE PRINT!

The "Barrier Dual Drainage Waterproofing System" Guarantee issued and backed by each of our exclusive Dealers is understandable and straight to the point with no disclaimers or qualifiers. You actually get what it is that you are paying for.  No fast sales talk or side stepping...just the facts and a real guarantee in writing...PERIOD!

WHY SHOULD FOUNDATIONS WALLS BE DRY?

Wet foundation walls can create "Three Big Problems" 

STRUCTURAL DECAY * HEALTH RISKS * POOR RESALE VALUE
