A Wet Walkout Basement is a Dreadful Problem.
You have no doubt heard horror stories from your fellow home builders about leaky walkouts and their furious homeowners.  A leaky walkout basement can be a very expensive and time-consuming problem. 

You will have to involve your engineer and foundation contractor to fix the problem.  However, without the necessary expertise in these situations, their first few attempts may not work.  You often have to hire a foundation repair company to get involved to fix the problem – and they aren’t cheap.  If you are lucky, you will not have to put the homeowners up in a hotel while this invasive repair work is done. 

What is the Untold Cost of a Walkout Basement Problem?
A leaky walkout basement will cost you a lot of money and countless hours of your time.  But, the immeasurable cost of unhappy homeowners could be far more expensive. 

Ask yourself: How many people would my homeowners tell about their negative experience with my company, and how would that affect my future business?

We Solve the Problems with Walkout Basement Foundations.
We are the experts in dry walkout basement construction.  We have constructed over 6,200 basements in our more than 30 years of business.  That experience has taught us a thing or two about how to construct waterproof walkout basements. 

Stop Playing Russian Roulette with Your Walkout Basement Foundations
The typical methods of constructing walkout basements are not adequate to prevent water problems.  A walkout basement needs more than just a drain pipe near the slab and the wall connection. 

A Walkout Basement Waterproofing System is Required
Correct walkout basement construction is a system that involves many specific steps that must be taken.  Many home builders, engineers and foundation contractors are unsure about what is necessary to construct a waterproof walkout basement. 

As the foundation contractor, we take the lead and educate all parties involved in the many steps that create the system.  We will work directly with your engineer and let them know what is required for our waterproof walkout basement system. 

The Herbert CompleteDry Basement System™
Our Herbert CompleteDry Basement System™ comes with a 30 year waterproof guarantee.

This system is a comprehensive, multi-step process that we have refined throughout our 30-plus years of constructing walkout basement foundations. 

There are many components to our Herbert CompleteDry Basement System™.  The four main components are:
1. Walls formed on both the exterior and interior faces.  By utilizing our unique aluminum forming system, we are able to properly form and pour a true basement wall. 
2. Special polymer-modified asphalt emulsion waterproofing membrane applied directly to the concrete wall surface.  This bonds to the concrete wall and can withstand direct water pressure and span across shrinkage cracks.
3. A two-step water management drainage system – on the wall as well as below the connection of the slab and wall.  This gets the water away from the wall.
4. A water management inspection during the landscaping phase of your house construction.  This ensures that the surface water is directed away from your walkout basement foundation, and heads off many of the potential problems areas before they start.

Your Homeowners Will Receive A Waterproof Warranty Certificate
This comprehensive system is backed by Herbert Construction Co. and the waterproofing manufacturer – the most recognized waterproofing brand in residential new construction. 

Your homeowners will receive a transferable limited 30 year waterproof warranty certificate, along with contact information in case they have any questions (or want to give a happy testimonial about their waterproof walkout that YOU built for them).
