BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage System

Dealing with a wet or flooded basement is overwhelming for homeowners. It’s not only unsafe but also threatens the structural stability of your cherished home. 

At Innovative Basement Authority, we understand—we’re homeowners too. Our state-of-the-art BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage System is ultimate protection against water in your basement. 

For more than 15 years, we’ve been your trusted basement waterproofing company, delivering solutions to permanently put a stop to water-related problems. 

Let us show you the IBA difference.  

What is AquaStop BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage? 

BasementGutter™ Interior Drainage is a cutting-edge waterproofing system designed to sit on top of the footer along the interior perimeter of your basement.  

Any water entering, either from the walls or where the floor and the wall meet, is directed through the system to the sump pump where it is removed.  

By installing it on top of the footer, out of the “mud zone,” the BasementGutter™ requires very little maintenance as it does not clog. A 3/8” wall flange enables water from the walls to enter the system without any obstruction. 

The system, although arguably the most important, is just a component of a comprehensive home waterproofing approach, ensuring a healthy and dry living atmosphere.
