Healthy homes have dry basements. Mold and mildew need moisture to grow. The best way to keep moisture out is with Platon foundation protector.

Platon is an air-gap waterproofing system that wraps around the foundation and is fastened along the top so it hangs like a curtain. A flat tab at the top is sealed to the wall to prevent dirt from filling the air gap and clogging the drainage path.

Platon forms an impermeable barrier to wet soil. If any water does get by the membrane it flows down through the air gap to the footing drain instead of leaking into the basement.

Because Platon only rests against the wall and is not adhered to it, it continues to function despite future cracking, shifting and settling. Platon will easily bridge a 1/4" crack. Platon’s air gap helps control interior moisture because moisture condenses on the cool inside surface of the membrane and runs down to the footing drain for removal. With Platon, the wall dries toward the outside, not the inside, which is what happens when the wall is coated with sealant.

Platon is chemically inert, environmentally friendly and will last the life of the structure. Because it is not adhered to the wall, Platon continues to function in spite of future foundation cracking, shifting and settling. Platon comes with a manufacturer’s limited 30 year warranty against leakage.
