Steve,

I would like to chat with you. I have two companies, one that performs home inspections and one that does radon reduction, mld abatement, termite damage repair, among other things. We have been contemplating getting into the basement waterproofing business, since we network realtors and have a foot in the door. Would like to talk more about your closed back drainage product.

Steve I think I'm remembering you from one of my visits to "Larry Janesky World" years ago- yes? In any case I have been on my own for about 10 years in basements and the last 3 years in radon as well. I just minutes ago got and read your article in the Radon Reporter and I am thrilled to know that I'm not alone with my concerns. I am excited to learn more from you about your methods and product choices so as to continue our cause. I began my career in bsmnt. drainage with Complete Basement Systems- Mankato, MN, after 5 years, I'd had "enough" and went out on my own. I regret not learning more about radon sooner but now I am working both ends together. When you have time, I would enjoy a discussion with you. I can be reached via E-mail or any time by cell phone at 507-351-2413. Thanks Steve and keep up the good work!-Andrew Kelley

Grate Drain system makes sense- I have been learning about the Grate Drain system for the past year. I am impressed and convinced that this basement water / moisture control system from Grate products is truly best system available today. As a home owner, my wife and I have decided to have this system installed throughout our basement. We currently do not have an obvious water problem, but we do have a moisture problem. Our dehumidifier runs constantly with significant increase in energy bills for at least six months out of the year. We have notice mold growth along the stair way leading downstairs and also on some items stored in our basement. More importantly, we have a child with asthma and do not want anything in our home to put him at further risk. From what I have learned, the GrateDrain closed basement waterproofing system will solve our problem and rid us of that musty smell. When we built our home, we thought we were doing the right thing. (crushed stone & thick floor) We even installed a French Drain along the perimeter. (It does not stop moisture.) A closed system simply makes sense.
