VersiDrain - Perfect for Basement Walls

With the growing density of residential development and increased traffic in urban areas, many buildings now have underground or basement parking as standard. Unfortunately, if basement walls are not adequately waterproofed, leakage can occur through retaining walls and this can lead to structural damage as well as damage to any cars or property within.

There are a number of different options available to help divert water away from the basement and allow it to drain harmlessly elsewhere but they are not all created equally.

Gravel is traditionally used for drainage around retaining walls but this type of system can be difficult to install and can also make accessing the waterproof membrane to repair damage a challenge. A far better solution is to use a product such as VersiDrain which uses a studded plastic drain sheet along with the VersiCell lightweight drainage modules to relief hydrostatic pressure, protect waterproofing membranes and transport water faster.

Systems like VersiDrain are beneficial over gravel in that they are easy to install, cost effective over the long term and usually more effective at capturing and transporting water away from the wall and thereby preventing leakage.
