Basement Water-proofing
Basement Water-proofing Services
Exterior Basement Waterproofing: Exterior basement waterproofing is a method used to prevent water from entering your basement by addressing the issue from the outside of your home.
This process involves several key steps:
-
Excavation
The first step is to dig around the foundation of your home to expose the exterior walls of the basement. This allows access to the areas where water might be seeping in
-
Cleaning and Inspection
Once the foundation walls are exposed, they are cleaned and inspected for any cracks, holes, or other potential entry points for water. This step is crucial to identify and address all vulnerabilities.
-
Repairing Cracks and Holes
Any cracks or holes found during the inspection are repaired using high-quality sealants or hydraulic cement. This ensures that these entry points are effectively sealed.
-
Waterproof Adhesive
Our team sprays on a layer of waterproof adhesive prior to installing the waterproof membrane.
-
Application of Waterproofing Membrane
A waterproofing membrane is applied to the exterior walls of the basement. This membrane is typically made of a durable, waterproof material that creates a barrier to prevent water from penetrating the walls.
-
Dimple Board Application
As part of our exterior waterproofing process, we apply dimple board—a durable plastic membrane with raised dimples that create a drainage space between the foundation wall and the soil. This helps channel water down to the drainage system, reducing hydrostatic pressure and enhancing long-term waterproofing performance.
-
Installation of Drainage Systems
To further protect your basement, exterior drainage systems are installed. These systems help direct water away from the foundation, reducing the risk of water buildup and seepage.
-
Backfilling
After the waterproofing membrane and drainage systems are in place, the excavated area is backfilled with soil. This step restores the landscape around your home and ensures that the waterproofing measures are securely in place. We take great care to restore the area to its original condition or better, ensuring your home looks as good as new.
