IronX Piping – The Solution for Iron Bacteria (Iron Ochre) in Wet Basements
Waterproofing A Basement With Iron Bacteria Issues
Iron bacteria (Iron Ochre) is a thick orange sludge that can build up in piping and damage plumbing and basement perimeter drainage systems, which can become clogged to the extent that they are inefficient or inoperable. It can also stain concrete floors and walls, and cause a foul odor.
Iron Ochre in basement systems is a growing problem and can be a headache for basement system installers. This sticky sludge can clog basement systems rendering them ineffective or compromising the integrity of the basement system entirely. Wet basement systems are a large investment for homeowners and it is important that the system installed in homes runs smoothly and can be cleaned of iron ochre. IronX Piping provides an innovative solution to keep basement systems clear of iron ochre and keeps water free flowing to protect the customer’s home from water damage. Our fully serviceable basement drainage systems are designed for basements with iron bacteria issues
How It Works
IronX Piping features an innovative basement perimeter piping design that includes 3 top chambers, which allow the system to be flushed quarterly. These chambers form jets that clean internal piping as well as the surrounding piping to ensure free flow of ground water and preserve the integrity of the basement system. To maintain the system, the waterproofing service technician applies pressurized warm water and iron remover to the 3 chambers which flush the iron bacteria from the basement system allowing the water to flow freely and maintaining the effectiveness of the basement system.
The innovative design of this system is ideal for a homeowner who is looking to waterproof their basement but has iron ochre present in the ground water.
Let us help you solve your iron ochre basement system ochre problem with a permanent, fully serviceable solution to keep your customers’ basement clean and free flowing for life.
