DELTA-MS® Foundation Wrap
DELTA®-MS is a highly effective waterproofing protection system based on a uniquely formed air-gap membrane. The main component of DELTA®-MS is the plastic (HDPE) membrane, formed in a dimple pattern to create an air-gap at the foundation wall. This unique design allows any water getting past the dimpled plastic sheet to fall freely to the footer drain. This membrane is remarkably impermeable to water and water vapor and impervious to acids and other agents. DELTA®-MS HDPE is tough, resilient and durable with an expected service life of more than 50 years.
Basement Solutions of New England, Inc. is a certified installer of the DELTA®-MS waterproofing membrane. DELTA®-MS provides two lines of defense. The first is an impermeable plastic sheet that is waterproof. The second is the dimpled structure that offers a free drainage path. In the event that water passes the first line of defense, it can flow freely down the air gap to the footer drain. Unlike a coating, DELTA®-MS bridges all size cracks, ignores damage points and deflects water as well as soil dampness. It also allows for the drainage of construction moisture to the footer drain.
DELTA®-MS is up to one half the price of conventional waterproofing systems, and offers a complete protection system for foundation walls. When used on the exterior of poured concrete, concrete block or preserved wood foundation (PWF), an air gap is formed that will keep your basement dry. It can also allow construction moisture and water vapor from indoors to condense, flow down to the perimeter and be drained away from the building. DELTA®-MS keeps ground moisture away from the foundation reducing interior dampness and musty odors. It continues to function despite any future foundation shifting or cracking.
