French Drain in California
Weinstein Retrofitting Systems installs a state-of-the-art French drain (aka drain tile) system called WaterGuard - a patented product only available only through authorized Basement Systems dealers. Weinstein Retrofitting Systems is the authorized dealer in Van Nuys, servicing the Greater Los Angeles and surrounding areas in California.
What makes WaterGuard in CA much more effective than a basic French drain or drain tile system is its design. WaterGuard is specially engineered to sit on the basement footing, keeping it up out of the dirt and mud, making it highly resistant to clogging. WaterGuard also has a neat, clean wall drain built right in, which also prevents dirt or debris from the basement floor from getting into the system.
Our California service area includes: San Fernando, Burbank, Pasadena, Glendale, Los Angeles, Santa Monica and surrounding areas. Call or contact us online for the best French Drain waterproofing system available! We offer free French drain quotes and inspections in CA.
History of French Drains in California
Drain tile and French drain first started to be used in basement waterproofing projects in the 1920s. Originally designed with clay tile, French drain and drain tile was designed by Henry French in Concord. Given the time, this was an excellent solution. Today, this drainage system lives on, and is generally made out of large, round plastic piping. However, since the 1990s, a more effective alternative has been developed - the WaterGuard drainage channel system.
French drain systems are usually designed with PVC pipe that is perforated and installed along the interior perimeter of the foundation or along the exterior as the home is built. Laid underneath the basement floor, it drains water to a gravity drain (uncommon) or to a sump pump (very common).
All over the Los Angeles area, we have removed many clogged French drain and drain tile waterproofing systems.
In California - especially in Los Angeles, Inglewood, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Santa Clarita and surrounding areas - homeowners with wet basements find themselves continually frustrated with failing French drains that lead to flooded basements. (Another clogged drain tile pipe shown right).
Let Weinstein Retrofitting Systems solve your wet basement problem once and for all - we supply a written, transferable lifetime warranty on our waterproofing system.
