Seal-Tite® Fast-Flo™ Waterproofing System

Our exclusive Fast-Flo™ water elimination system is designed to not only stop water from entering your basement, but also to take the water away from your foundation. Our dual purpose system is a step above other basement waterproofing systems available today. Virtually all other systems sole functions are to stop water from coming onto your floor. By stopping the water from entering your basement and taking the water away from your foundation, our Seal-Tite® Fast-Flo™ system provides the following:

• Protects your basement from water by providing a system that takes water away twice as fast as conventional waterproofing systems
• Protects your home by removing the water from under your basement floor and away from your foundation.
• Our non-clog system eliminates the risk of water ever entering the basement.
• Combines proven technology with new, state-of-the-art design to provide you the best solution to your water seepage problems.
• Helps control mold and musty odors.
• Helps eliminate the need to purchase other ancillary systems that take care of problems typical waterproofing systems cause.

By stopping the water from entering your basement and taking away the water from under your floors allows the subfloor area to dry out. This helps eliminate mold and musty smells from under your floors due to stagnant water. It also helps minimize foundation settlement problems due to excessive water sitting around your foundation. If you have a wet basement or leaky basement, our Fast-Flo interior waterproofing system or our exterior waterproofing system will help you permanently fix your water problem.

Stopping water from entering your basement is not enough. Seal-Tite’s® Fast-Flo™ water elimination system provides you the best long-term protection of your home. And of course, it comes with a lifetime warranty regardless of homeowner.

How Basements Get Wet

In Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia homes, you may have seen moisture seeping into you or your neighbor's home through the foundation or basement. Moisture seeps through cracks and a wet basement can destroy any valuable furnishings or materials left in storage. You may already know that you need a basement waterproofing company to help you - but you may wonder, why does this happen?

It's usual in construction to dig a hole for the foundation larger that it needs to be. That extra space is filled with "backfill" - soil that’s been removed and then replaced as part of construction. This soil can never be as hard-packed as the unexcavated, original soil surrounding it. It’s looser, more porous, and a great deal more water absorbent.

Additionally, a few foundations rest on natural bedrock that is directing water to springs and other water sources. If your foundation stands in the way of the natural track of this water, it’s going to build up against the foundation. To make matters worse, as the earth around the house settles, it begins to settle and pack lower than the original earth. As the water courses downhill into this lower basin, it pools and absorbs into the dirt around the foundation, causing you to have a leaky basement.

It’s no surprise that when it rains, water collects more in the immediate area around your foundation. Since you've put a house in this hole, it’s no different. The water in this basin is going to try to go anywhere possible, seeping through any opening or crack that is available. If basement wall cracks which were formed during construction go all the way through your wall, it's inevitable that water will find its way through as well. As water continues using these cracks, they will get larger through erosion and natural expansion and contraction.
