Many signs are evident such as water on the floor, wall cracks, moisture or dampness
in your basement or crawl. A professional such as Interior Channel's Foundation Experts can
determine the extent of damage and a fair cost of repair. NO HIGH PRESSURE. Our sales
staff are trained to explain the problem and give you a full service choice of solutions.
In most cases the corners and lower courses of blocks will show darkness were mold and
mildew will gather above the floor on the block itself. Other signs are floor cracks or if you
have poured walls you may see moisture come up were the floor meets the wall. Vertical or
stress cracks are common problems in poured basements. In some cases outside excavation is
necessary. Call Interior Channel for an honest, no pressure estimate.
This is an excellent question. Without getting into great detail, the water table and hydro-static
pressure is raised by rainfall. Tile system are designed to relieve this pressure when it gets to a
certain level . In most rains the hydro-static pressure is not strong enough to raise the water to
basement level so no leakage is noticed, but the water is still there.
Every job Interior Channel installs has a chain of command attached. The first and most important
contact you have is your salesperson. It is his/her job to evaluate your current situation, relay this
information in writing, and photo's if necessary, to management. Management then OKs the project
and assigns it to our installation department. All of our installers are trained and every installation has
a crew leader. He/she will introduce themselves when the job starts. Remember your sales person
is the ultimate contact between yourself and the company.
This varies from job to job but to give you a rough idea we take 2 days on average for the Interior Channel above floor
systems. Three to four days on large basement that need sump pumps and about a week for Interior Channel DrainTile below
floor tile systems. Outside excavation can run from seven days to two weeks, depends on the size,
depth and obstructions. Average job 3.5 days
