New Basements - PLATON Foundation Protector
SYSTEM PLATON FOUNDATION PROTECTOR
To Insure A Dry Healthy Basement
Damp basements promote the growth of unhealthy spores, mold, mildew, fungus and musty odors.
As well as being unpleasant, these can cause allergies and respiratory problems.
Damp basements also cause damage to walls, floors and finishes and certainly affect articles kept in the basement!
System Platon not only keeps water out, it also dries out the foundation in a way that spray on products can't match!
HOW IT WORKS
Platon is a rugged, dimpled High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) membrane that keeps foundations dry. Platon creates an impermeable vapour barrier allowing concrete to breath while controlling moisture by keeping wet soil away from the foundation wall. Any moisture that may find its way past the membrane is carried to the foundation drain by the air gap drainage path. Platon is commonly used to protect block walls, poured concrete walls, existing foundations and Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF). It has been used on foundations since the early 1990's with no product related leaks.
PAY A LITTLE NOW - SAVE A LOT LATER!
The money you save by skimping on foundation protection is no saving at all.
Leaky basements are homeowners most annoying complaint and the most expensive to correct.
Most homeowners insurance does not cover water damage from leaking foundations. If yours does, the deductible may have paid for the waterproofing upgrade!!!
A damp wall has less insulating value than a fully dry wall. To reduce heating costs it is important that a wall is able to dry out and stay dry.
System Platon + Good Footing Drainage = Dry Basement
