We are starting a new Basement Repair series on the American Dry Basement Systems' Youtube channel. Many customers every year hire us to tear-out popular, cheap overflow systems, and replace them with our system. We know nothing feels worse than paying for something twice. We hope our channel will enlighten consumers and do-it-yourselfers (DIY) to make the right purchasing decisions to get it right the first time.

These overflow systems go in fast with a minimal amount of work. Unfortunately, they allow water to rise until the entire basement floor is sitting in water. Only then do these systems supposedly begin to move water to the sump pump station. If it ever gets there.
For a waterproofing system to get water to rise underneath the floor, the hydrostatic pressure (water building up around outside basement walls) must reach a damaging level that can crack your basement walls.

In this video, we tear-out an overflow waterproofing system in White Plains, NY. We uncover hidden, dark secrets and shortcuts taken to install a basement waterproofing system with a minimal material cost. It will be a sad surprise to those who already bought a system and a welcome surprise to those who are still shopping.
