There are many stories about water intrusion into subterranean areas with most being horror stories. Many technologies are available with almost all being temporary solutions.

Groundwater intrusion into a building can cause serious structural degradation, corrosion of mechanical equipment, increased maintenance requirements, and can make areas uninhabitable or even unusable.

Humid environments are known to promote growth of molds and bacteria that have an adverse effect on human health and worker productivity.

As the molds and microorganisms proliferate, indoor air quality decreases and health problems increase.

To improve air quality it is necessary to decrease relative humidity and lower the moisture level of the surfaces on which the molds and microorganisms grow. Water Intrusion Technologies have a permanent solution for removing and keeping water out, which is Electro-Osmotic Pulse (EOP) Water Removal.

Traditional methods for correcting water intrusion involved the application of sealants or costly excavation around a facility exterior.
