PolyDrain – Drain Tile System

PolyDrain uses air-gap technology to significantly increase water drainage and promote replacement of the foundation floor at the original thickness. PolyDrain maintains a 5/8 air gap between the footer and the replacement slab. PolyDrain is laid directly onto the footer and extends over the drain system. Eliminating gravel on the footer boosts water flow by removing resistance.


By extending PolyDrain up the wall, the weep holes are protected and any moisture from the foundation wall is channeled into the drainage system. PolyDrain is made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight (UHMW) thermoplastic, and can be bent and folded as needed with no cracking.

ADVANTAGES

    Increases water flow into the drain systemEliminates sweating of concreteAllows thicker replacement floorExcellent for thin floors and high footersHeavy duty construction grade material

We operate with only company employees who are fully insured and trained by our long-term personnel. When you opt to work with Rite-Way Waterproofing that's exactly who you will be working with – we do not subcontract any portion of our installation.

Xypex Concentrate Waterproofing

Xypex® is a unique chemical treatment for the waterproofing, protection and repair of concrete. When mixed with water, this light grey powder is applied as a cementitious slurry coat to above-grade or below-grade concrete, either as a single coat or as the first of a two-coat application. It is also mixed in Dry-Pac form for sealing strips at construction joints, or for the repairing of cracks, faulty construction joints and honeycombs. Xypex prevents the penetration of water and other liquids from any direction by causing a catalytic reaction that produces a non-soluble crystalline formation within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete and cement-based materials.

ADVANTAGES

    Resists extreme hydrostatic (fluid-based) pressureBecomes an integral part of the substrate (wall, foundation, block, etc.)Can seal hairline cracks up to 0.4 mmAllows concrete to breatheHighly resistant to aggressive chemicalsNon-toxicDoes not require a dry surface for applicationCannot puncture, tear or come apart at the seamsNo costly surface priming or leveling prior to applicationDoes not require sealing, lapping or finishing of seams at corners, edges or between membranesCan be applied to the positive or the negative side of a concrete surfaceDoes not require protection during backfilling or during placement of steel, wire mesh or other materialsLess costly to apply than most other methodsNot subject to deteriorationPermanent
