Common Water Problems Won't Heal Themselves ... They Only Get Worse:
Kansas Master Companies can fix all of your foundation and settlement problems. We offer many solutions to these problems including the Hydraway Drain, the PermaDry Interior Drain System for interior repairs, and the Water Master Exterior Underdrain Systems I and II.
The Hydraway Drainage System is a superior performing and cost effective replacement for the "french" drain (fabric, perforated pipe & aggregate). The polyethylene core is encapsulated with a polypropylene filter fabric that is fusion bounded to the core. Typical perforated pipe has an open area for receiving water of between 2% and 5%. The Hydraway 2000 has over 70% open area for a significantly higher water entry rate.
Primary Advantages
will not support fungus growth
is an engineered alternative to conventional sand / gravel / aggregate systems.
can safely be used in depths in excess of 50 feet
significantly higher water entry rate than perforated pipe
high compressive strength and flow capacity allow its use in applications where soil loads are 12K psf and the flow requirements are in excess of 10 gpm/ft-width.
Foundation water problems can be permanently repaired by use of this effective interior drain system. A filter tile is sloped within gravel filter, collecting water through a mat drain or micro channel on the edge of the floor slab and through key gaps and under basement footing.
