Dave Caves Construction assures proper drainage by correct placement of drainage tile with a granular fill. This tile drainage system is natural "gravity flow", not dependent on electricity supplied to a sump pump. Bentonize wateproofing is also applied. We use Bentonize since it is inorganic and stable underground. It will not deteriorate due to acids in the soil. (Further information on our Bentozine waterproofing available upon request.)

Site evaluation and attention to drainage are important steps in building a quality game court. We investigate and address existing landscape drainage issues before construction begins.

Waterproofing products are designed to "prevent" water penetration even under wet conditions such as hydrostatic pressure in the soil after heavy rain storms or spring thaws. Aquaseal's products contain rubber which provides superior waterproofing protection and allows the product to remain flexible even when it dries. This flexibility allows the waterproofing membrane to stretch as the foundation settles and bridge small hairline settlement cracks that can occur in the concrete or block.

No, you will find that our pricing compares very favorable with other similar quality products on the market, and because our products are 'user friendly' you can actually save money by doing the waterproofing yourself.

Clear or pinkish drainage with some blood is normal. Greenish or yellowish drainage is not normal. You should call our office if you notice this type of drainage.

It's an old industry adage that warns: "A lot of water in short period of time can cause major damage and a little water over a long period of time can cause major damage." CREIA warns that amateur solutions to complex drainage problems often result in poor guesswork with no assurance that the money and effort invested will produce desired results.

Water accumulation along one area of a house can cause destructive upheaval as well as foundation sinking. The Dallas-Ft worth area Montmorollinite clay is geologically known to fail in high moisture conditions. Poor drainage drives the need for foundation repairs. For more info refer to the section of this web site on foundation stress .

The base is molded in one piece so there are no seams for potential leakage. There is no need for drainage because of the large growing bed and the water reservoirs. The only reason for drainage holes in small flower pots is so that plant roots are not left sitting in water, which is accomplished by our water runoff system. The reservoirs are not just water holding tanks. They are filled with soil as well and do not need to be drained.

Yes. Greenblock recommends waterproofing below grade, but it depends on your local climate and building codes.

The waterproofing is added to repel salt water and chlorine penetration and to ensure colour fastness.

Yes, being manufactured in South Florida that was one of our major concerns. Moisture will not penetrate from the outside in.

Unfortunately, yes. There are no barriers to stop any self-proclaimed handyman with a truck, a cell phone and enough money for a yellow page ad, from calling himself a waterproofing contractor. Now that the average teenager can produce a splashy website for pennies, the task of identifying the professionals from the amateurs is even more difficult.

If your home is in an area with well draining soil and you have good quality backfill material, then you can carefully backfill directly against our products. However, if your backfill material contains rocks or stones that could damage the newly applied rubber membrane, then we recommend the use of a product such as our Aqua-Wrap. This 6mil polyethylene sheeting is highly puncture and tear resistant and will prevent rocks from puncturing the waterproofing.

This is a special type of medical massage utilizing gentle and rhythmic movements that work with the lymphatic system to remove waste materials and excess fluids that are generally trapped in the deeper layer of the skin. The manual Lymphatic Drainage massage is the most effective massage for reducing swelling, boosting blood circulation and for any post-traumatic injury or surgery. It helps to speed up the healing time of injuries and helps to treat migraines, sinusitis and high blood pressure.

In a normal day, the nose secretes about a cup (8 oz.) of mucus that goes down the back of your throat without your being aware of it. However, once you have surgery and the nose is stuffed up, you become very aware of this normal secretion. It is nothing to worry about. The combination of “normal mucus drainage” and “intranasal swelling” can cause the mucus drainage to come out the nostrils rather than go down the back of the throat.

Moisture intrusion damage and plumbing leaks are the largest repair expense most homeowners face today. Deferring maintenance for any moisture problem is not wise. Plumbing and drainage problems can escalate to health issues as molds can grow on virtually any substance when moisture is present. Make sure your home's roof, grade-level, and underground drainage systems are designed to redirect water flow away from the perimeter foundation.
