Property Maintenance, President Container, Payless Shoes and Surgicare Medical
Facilities to name a few.
These clients demand that the work is completed quickly, professionally and with the

JLB Waterproofing Systems works on every type of foundation.
Common types of foundations are:
- Concrete Block Walls – the most common type of foundation used.
- Poured Concrete Walls – very commonly used today.
- Stone Walls – Common in older homes
- Precast Foundation Walls – Not very common but gaining popularity.
Water and moisture enter your basement a number of ways.
- Hydrostatic Pressure – when the water pressure is greater on the outside of your foundation or concrete floor it pushes into the area with the least resistance, your basement. Water may enter thru the basement foundation walls, the joint between foundation wall and the concrete floor, and even thru the concrete floor in random areas.
- Water entering from the outside – Dirt that is improperly pitched towards the house, loose porous soil, clogged footing drains, expansion and contraction of the soil based on the actual soil moisture content.
- Improperly sealed exterior foundation walls – Although your foundation may have been sealed initially, some foundation coatings break down and let water in over time.
- Gutters that discharge close to the house – even clogged gutters may discharge large amounts of water next to the house during heavy and extended rainfalls.
A key component to our success to our drain system is the patented Hollow Kick Molding system.
The latest in Water Drainage Engineering
This start-of-the-art drainage system removes water at an elevation below the floor and foundation, so the basement does not become submersed in water and hydrostatic pressure is reduced.
Why Hollow Kick Molding is the Best Choice in Drainage Technology
The Hollow Kick Molding system is by far the most efficient, affordable way to prevent a wet basement from ever occurring. Our drain system will remove an impressive 8.5 gallons per minute per foot of drain. Its effectiveness is unsurpassed.
Hollow Kick Molding can be installed above grade. This type of installation is best for monolithic poured foundations and projects where floor cutting is not possible. Small holes are drilled thru the foundation to reduce hydrostatic pressure.
Patented Design
The United States Government Patent Office has determined that the Hollow Kick Molding is the only product specifically designed to create a fully functional floating slab detail with an aesthetically pleasing cove plate.
