TUFF-N-DRI® Basement Waterproofing System is a reliable defense against three main sources of basement moisture – foundation wall leaks, seepage and interior condensation. By minimizing excess moisture in your basement, you can maximize the advantages your lower level space provides:
Greater Comfort – Damp basement space may create an uncomfortable living environment. As more water evaporates into the air, it can also heighten the chilly feeling of colder seasons and the hot, sticky feeling of warmer seasons. Dry basement space avoids these conditions to enhance the comfort and enjoyment of lower level living.
Increased Energy Efficiency – Greater humidity in your home can make air conditioners, heaters and dehumidifiers work harder and demand more energy. So the moisture control of TUFF-N-DRI can help reduce your home's energy requirements. In addition, WARM-N-DRI® Foundation Board (part of the TUFF-N-DRI system) provides insulating values up to R-10 to further protect against energy loss.
Value Protection – The structural materials of your home as well as the furnishings inside will benefit from ongoing moisture protection. Prolonged exposure to excess moisture can crack concrete, corrode metal and cause wood to warp, rot or swell. Fabrics that compose your carpeting and upholstery also may rot or stain from too much moisture. And excess humidity and condensation can affect sensitive electronic components in computers, video and audio systems. So the premium moisture control of TUFF-N-DRI not only protects your basement space – it helps guard the value of furnishings inside.
