BASEMENT WATERPROOFING DIMPLE BOARD
Dimple Board™ is made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. It can be used as part of a waterproofing drainage system, exterior wrapping or as a basement floor vapor barrier.
DRY-UP Dimple Board
A dimpled waterproofing membrane made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. The dimples in the membrane are 5/16” in height, creating a 5/16” airgap or drainage space between the wall and the back of the membrane. The DRY-UP™ Dimple Board can be ordered in a variety of different widths.
USE FOR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
The DRY-UP Dimple Board is a waterproofing membrane that is “dimpled” so a wall can breathe. This allows moisture to condensate outward so it falls by gravity through the “dimples” in the DRY-UP™ Dimple Board to be directed to a drainage system and channeled away to the sump pump.
USE AS FLOOR VAPOR BARRIER OR UNDERLAYMENT
DRY-UP Dimple Board can be used as a vapor barrier under a sub floor or over concrete to eliminate cold and damp floors. The DRY-UP™ Dimple Board can be also used as an underlayment in crawlspaces before installing a Crawlspace Liner.
USE FOR EXTERIOR WRAPPING
The DRY-UP Dimple Board can be used on exterior basement walls to prevent soil and/or backfill material from touching the wall itself. The backfill rests on the outside of the Dimple Board and surface water cannot penetrate through the high density plastic.
This is a quality dimple board that can be bent around corners without cracking, giving a protective membrane against any moisture intrusion. The “dimples” allow surface water to fall by gravity to the bottom and migrate into the drainage system at the footing to be drained away from your basement wall.

DRY-UP™ Baseboard Do-It-Yourself Kit
DRY-UP Baseboard System Advantages
• Waterproofing can be done any time of year
• No digging up the yard or basement floor
• Designed to look like a finished basement
• A proven system that works!
The DRY-UP Baseboard System is a water control channel that is designed to look like a finished baseboard. The hollow vinyl baseboard is 5 inches tall and extends 2 inches from the wall.
To install, the concrete floor needs to be throughly cleaned. The adhesive bond is an intregal part of this basement waterproofing system so the floor has to be cleaned as per specifications following the instructions provided, using the special tools included in the DIY waterproofing kit.
The vinyl baseboard is then attached to the existing concrete floor with high-strength space-age polymer adhesive. Water coming in from where the floor and wall meet is then captured in the DRY-UP™ Baseboard System and channeled around to a sump pump, keeping your basement floor dry.
The DRY-UP Baseboard Kit can be used with any type of foundation including poured concrete walls, brick or stone walls, and block walls. When waterproofing block walls, holes are drilled into the hollows of the blocks to ensure proper drainage and alleviate water build up inside the basement wall.

AprilAire Dehumidifiers
Prevent the STINK!
High humidity in basements creates an environment where mold and mildew can grow. Mildew has a milder, musty smell – the odor is usually compared to wet socks. Mold odor is stronger and pungent.
The key to mold and mildew control is moisture control.

More Energy Efficient
AprilAire – E100 Dehumidfiers have been recognized as ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient for 2022 – delivering 23% energy savings over conventional dehumidifiers. AprilAire Dehumidifiers cost about $216 less to run during the summer than a cheaper retail model.
Better Design = Longer Life
Portable dehumidifiers need to cycle on and off more frequently, causing their compressors to wear down. In contrast, AprilAire Dehumidifiers drop the relative humidity 3% below the set point so it cycles on and off less, reducing the energy use and compressor cycling which extends the life of the compressor.

Gorilla Wall Braces® – an effective & economical DIY solution to straighten bowing basement walls.
Save thousands of dollars by fixing your bulging basement walls yourself! Gorilla Wall Braces also prevent any further movement of basement walls pushing in.
John Holahan2023-04-06Gorilla wall Braces exceeded expectations. We are home builders and have a full basement supporting my office building (which we did not build). Expansive soils and water loading had caused the walls to deflect, some as much as 1 1/2 inches in several areas. After receiving estimates between $25 and 28k, I was compelled to search the web for another solution. Gorilla Wall from Resch Enterprises provided videos and resources, Andy offered guidance and answers. I repeat, Gorilla Walls exceeded expectations. Being home builders, we installed to system ourselves. I believe anyone with some basic skills and knowledge can install Gorilla Walls themselves, a helper would be a plus. Some walls became straight and plumb once more, others moved to within acceptable deflection with support preventing further movement. I highly recommend the Gorilla Wall Braces product and the team at Resch Enterprises.
john shea2023-04-05Andy Resch runs Gorilla Braces, based in Minnesota, a family owned business. After realizing that I could no longer ignore a short wall in the basement that was bulging in I spent time on the internet and landed on Gorilla Braces. I decided to use this company and ordered the material from Andy I would need. It arrived quickly and best of all it was solid. Well built, definitely capable of handling tremendous pressure. Andy also included a pamphlet showing step by step instructions, which I really appreciated. ( Also all bolts, nuts, and even a drill bit needed for concrete anchors.( It's a SDS bit so keep that in mind) The install actually went way faster than I expected! Also be aware if your floor joist are parallel or perpendicular to the wall you are bracing...as they need different brace. All in all I was very satisfied with the outcome and the interaction with Andy. Good luck on your project; best advice is don't be scared or overwhelmed. You'll save a ton of cash doing it yourself.... (Actual business name is Gorilla Wall Braces)
Ryan Rash2023-04-05We had a sewer break which flooded our basement. After stripping everything out, we found 3 of the walls were cracked and bowed. It wasn’t severe, but we wanted to get the problem solved quickly. I found Gorilla Brace, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. I was able to get the basement repaired for 1/3 what a local contractor quoted for a similar product. In the end, my labor was worth over $600/hr. That’s real savings for those of us who have the skills and abilities to get the work done. A rotary hammer is a must, don’t try this with a standard hammer drill. Use a portable band saw to trim the steel (that was the hardest part of this). Rent or borrow the tools you don’t have and you’ll save thousands! My walls were deflected 1-3 inches depending on the spot. One wall was straightened the day of install, the other 2 took a few more days. My soil was pretty soft from excavating the sewer, so that likely helped. The kits include everything you need, there’s nothing to buy except the steel. My package was missing 2 backer plates, but Resch sent them right out with no trouble. Getting this done gives us peace of mind and the savings will go a long way to get our other damage repaired faster. I’m really, really happy with Gorilla Brace!
Lance Duester2023-04-01Resch Enterprises is an incredible company to work with! They are extremely knowledgeable and they are genuinely interested in helping people. They will make you feel comfortable asking questions and they will not stop until your problem is solved.
Savannah Dumas2023-03-15Great product
Ross Baldwin2023-01-09I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of craftsmanship that Resch Enterprises provided with their Gorilla Wall Braces. The team was quick to answer questions and help out with the ordering/design process. I received my braces within 2 days of ordering. The written and video instructions made the installation process a breeze. As long as you are willing to put in a bit of effort and your walls meet the requirements (explained on the site), I would highly recommend this system to fix bowed basement walls instead of paying 4k - 5k+ on a contractor.
Robert Biela2022-10-22I have an 80 year old cinderblock basement that was separating on the seems and bowing. I had several contractors give me quotes between 15 and 25 thousand dollars to repair. Way too much money for me so I researched a number of wall brace companies and was immediately impressed with the Resch Inc Gorilla brace system. I saved so much money and Andy at Resch was an incredible help answering all of my questions over several phone calls. I HIGHLY recommend going on line and checking out their Gorilla brace and many other products. As far as I’m concerned it is the best wall brace product on the market!
adam johnson2022-09-29Andy and the folks at Resch Enterprises were fantastic to work with and were flexible in meeting my needs. I had a basement wall that was slightly bowing in and their perpendicular Gorilla Braces worked perfectly to partially close the bowing gap and provide significant additional support. My installation was slightly unconventional based on the recommended practices from Resch Enterprises, but a personal phone call from the owner allowed me to work through the details and make sure I was getting a product that would suit my needs. If you are looking for a quality wall brace system for your bowing block wall, look no further! I installed seven braces in about 3hrs time.
David Mika2022-09-05Purchased seven Gorilla Braces for a bowed basement wall made of brick. These were combined with locally sourced steel beams. I was very happy with the quality of design and construction. Resch Enterprises is family-run and they know basements! They are highly recommended
Dillon Katskee2022-07-15This amazing family owned is engineering and producing great products that we are using in Omaha Nebraska. Thank you Andy, Greg and Becky for taking the time out of your busy schedules to help our small business. We appreciate you 👍🏻👍🏻

Gorilla Wall Braces Review
“I was quoted over $30,000 for this repair and I completed all of the work for less than $4000 for 2 houses!”
“I am happy to report that I have successfully moved the wall back to the original position and closed the cracks in the back house .The main house still has some open cracks but the top of the wall is returned to plumb and the visible cracking has been significantly reduced.”

Gorilla Wall Braces are the only Professional Engineer-Stamped DIY solution to straighten bowing basement walls.
BEFORE/AFTER GORILLA WALL BRACESGorilla Wall Braces
Available for PERPENDICULAR & PARALLEL basement walls.
Patented, engineer-stamped and better designed!
Works on BLOCK & POURED CONCRETE basement walls.
Gorilla Wall Braces are the only DIY product in the industry that have been through stress and pressure engineering tests – earning a Professional Engineer Stamp approval as a safe and effective solution to fix bowing basement walls.
Fixing Basement Walls PERPENDICULAR to the Floor Joist
Unique in the industry, PERPENDICULAR Gorilla Wall Braces straighten bowing basement walls by utilizing the support of three floor joists. This patented design distributes the wall loads more evenly to reduce side pressure to the floor joists, which in turn prevents the floor joists from buckling or twisting which can happen in other basement wall straightening systems that push off only one or two floor joists.
Fixing Basement Walls PARALLEL to the Floor Joist
PARALLEL Gorilla Wall Braces are secured similarly so they evenly distribute basement walls loads over multiple floor joists – a superior DIY basement wall straightening solution.
