| Without proper waterproofing protection, basement walls are susceptible to three main forms of moisture: leaks, seepage and interior condensation.
Too much moisture inside your home can foster damp, uncomfortable conditions. Extra water vapor in the air also enhances the chill of winter and the hot, sticky feel of summer. So, heating, cooling and dehumidifying systems have to work harder and use more enery.
Building your basement right the first time is vitally important. Once the soil around your basement is filled in, making any improvements to its exterior walls can be very costly.
That means you have one opportunity to make your basement the best it can be. TUFF-N-DRI Basement Waterproofing Systems can help you get your basement right the first time.
Damp-proofing doesn't guarantee a dry basement; it can crack and allow water to seep through the foundation. For a guaranteed dry basement, TUFF-N-DRI Basement Waterproofing Systems is your best choice. Unlike many damp-proofing products, TUFF-N-DRI will not break down as a result of prolonged contact with water and soil.
The TUFF-N-DRY System consists of two components: TUFF-N-DRI waterproofing membrane and WARM-N-DRI drainage and insulation board. This powerful combination teams up to control the three main sources of moisture from basement walls. The rugged TUFF-N-DRI membrane seals out water leaks and seepage. The WARM-N-DRI foundation board insulates basement walls on the outside - the key to reducing condensation on the inside.
Analysis of home energy use indicates that a considerable portion of a typical home's energy loss comes from heated, uninsulated basements. By installing the foundation board to the sill plate, the entire basement wall is insulated, and energy efficiency is maximized.
TUFF-N-DRI can help keep your basement space more comfortable and energy-efficient for the long term.
