Basement
waterproofing systems always need drains to be filled regularly to
prevent the trap from drying out and sewer gas escaping into the
basement. The drain trap can be topped up automatically by the
condensation from air conditioners or high-efficiency furnaces. A small
tube from another down pipe is sometimes used to keep the trap from
drying out. Some advocate the use of special "radon gas" traps. In areas
where storm and sanitary sewers are combined and there is the risk of
sewage backing up, backflow prevention valves in all basement drains is
recommended.
The Water content and soil density is not always even uniform in the
building area for a standard house. When this happens, the soil may rise
or contract differently and cause serious damage to the foundation,
causing it to potentially sink, or even severely crack the foundation
itself. The danger of this kind of damage is not even limited to
finically. Uneven floors can be a nasty result with very unpleasant
consequences. It can created tripping hazards, damage pipelines or wires
running below the house, or affect the effectiveness of a drainage
system.
