Protecting foundations from moisture requires the right products and installation. A poorly installed drainboard runs the risk of dirt and debris getting trapped inside, leading to a faulty and less effective drainage system. Make no mistake: This can ruin any construction project. But don’t fret, because drainboards help extend the life of the foundation by relieving hydrostatic pressure. When correctly applied and a part of a well-designed system, minimal moisture should reach the foundation. Want to learn more?

Did you know reservoir claddings can overwhelm typical wall systems? Consider the case where a brick veneer becomes saturated after a rainstorm. The brick acts as a reservoir, storing water. When the sun shines on the rain-wetted brick veneer, it raises the temperature of the water stored in the brick. The outward drive does not hurt the assembly, but the inward drive can. What can be done? Well, a rainscreen like DELTA®-DRY can be a great solution. This article from @JoeLstiburek sheds more light on how to protect reservoir claddings on DELTA® ACADEMY. https://buff.ly/4cSZ6hy #DELTAbyDORKEN #Brick #Stone #Stucco #Claddings #DELTAACADEMY

These changes can affect the comfort of a basement, as well as the health of occupants. Choosing the right products and employing proper installation techniques can ensure a basement stays dry and protected for years to come. Want to learn more?
