Pressure Relief System

The pressure relief drainage system was designed and invented by Vulcan Basement Waterproofing in the mid 1960’s. Our company made many efforts the late 1940’s thru the early 1960’s trying to discover basement systems, materials and methods that would ultimately best conquer the problem of water seepage in the basement. During this early period of our company we had the choice of using epoxy like materials, excavating the outside and trying different chemical compounds. Up to this time our philosophy centered around stopping the water before it entered the basement. However, thru trial and error, it became apparent that you just can’t stop water. It was clear to those pioneers that the forces of nature were too strong to hold back. Our forefathers decided by the late 1950’s that the use of drain tile or drain systems would be a great way to combat the water pressure that causes most basement water problems.

In the early 1960’s Vulcan Basement Waterproofing really started to get involved with what we know of today as the Pressure Relief System. Around 1965 the company decided that the best way to handle more serious basement water problems is thru this new pressure relieving philosophy. The idea was groundbreaking and on the cutting edge and really revolutionized the industry. In 1966 Vulcan Basement Waterproofing was given a patent on this cure and we called it the “Vulcan Pressure Relief System”. This approach of using the long term solution of relieving the water “pressure” to control basement water problems by the means of installing the pressure relief system has allowed us to put an end to most basement water problems.

Leaky Basements have always been and will continue to be a phenomenon that will afflict the majority of homes with basements throughout the United States. During the last 60 years, many companies have come and gone in the basement waterproofing industry. Most of these entities try to emulate the success of Vulcan Basement Waterproofing. Naturally all these entities have attempted to copy our pressure relief system in their own way. However we are the only company that can truthfully advertise the fact that our method is the original one. In over 60 years of being in business, our patented pressure relief system is one of the many tools Vulcan Basement Waterproofing has discovered to help homeowners control wet and leaky basement problems. Vulcan Basement Waterproofing Company is the world’s oldest and largest basement waterproofing specialists having been established in 1947 and basement waterproofing has been our only business for over 60 years. We can proudly say; “We’re not just in the basement waterproofing business we invented it”!
