After the floor surrounding your house ‘s base is saturated with rainwater, your cellar should not properly waterproofed could leak. As qualified base builders we know foundation drainage and how it functions from outside when it rains to inside when the basement flows. There might be many reasons why there’s water from your cellar. Typically your house ‘s base is either poured concrete or constructed of CMU or concrete block. Poured foundations are prone to fractures from settling, whereas block foundations are porous and can leak at the joints.

For additional protection there are Zoeller backup pump options that can be installed into the exact same basin either centrifugal, water-powered or battery backup.

This heavy duty constructed drainage matting is bent and put the wall up and above the trench.

Exterior Basement Waterproofing Solutions

After evaluation by our inspection team the ideal solution is to waterproof your basement in the outside. This requires excavating the soil surrounding your base walls into the footings and installing a bituthene watertight membrane. We simply use professional grade materials with this application, Henry’s self-adhering Blueskin.

Before starting the project Ms Utility is contacted by the 20000 Leaks team to have the excavation place marked for almost any underground utility lines. As qualified base builders you can rest assured that the stability of your base is in good hands. The thickness of the excavation determines what heavy gear will be essential to perform the digging.

After the base walls are excavated they are cleaned and inspected for any defects or cracks.These are patched and repaired before employing the Blue skin primer. Outside temperatures and base wall temperatures are critical in the use of the primer and self-adhering membrane. The identical day that the primer is implemented the self-adhering membrane is also set up on the walls and the footers to insure an impermeable watertight barrier. Before backfilling the area, the membrane ought to be shielded with a durable tear resistant drainboard, so the membrane is not damaged during the process. After the area is backfilled, the soil is then tamped by the 20000 Leaks staff to firm the loose soil around the house ‘s base.
