We Filmed a Flood — See How Basement Drainage Really Works!

Ever wondered what a basement drainage system actually does during a heavy rainstorm?
This video shows you exactly how it works — no simulation, no animation — just real footage during a live storm.

You'll see how water seeps through a block foundation wall, gets intercepted at the base, and flows into a perforated drain pipe buried under gravel.
We even peel back the gravel layer to show you the pipe itself — wrapped in a filter sock to prevent clogs and ensure long-term performance.

💧 This is a real-world example of how a properly installed interior basement waterproofing system, including French drains and sump pump, protects your basement from water intrusion.

✅ You’ll learn:
How interior drainage systems actually redirect seepage
Why gravel and filter fabric are essential
What most homeowners never get to see after installation
Why “visible waterproofing” is trustworthy waterproofing
See it. Understand it. Trust it.
