BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
A dry basement is within reach! We can assess any basement flooding problem and make a repair recommendation that will last a lifetime. Below are 4 of the most popular solutions.
FOUNDATION CRACK REPAIR:
Epoxy Injection - We use an EPOXY INJECTION method to repair poured foundation cracks. This ensures that the crack is completely filled from the inside out. Other companies use materials that merely cover the surface of the crack. Performing crack injections properly is a difficult process and takes years of expertise, so don't be surprised when other companies criticize this valuable skill.
Here is a typical repair BY A COMPETITOR:
This crack caused thousands of dollars of damage to a finished basement. The pictures show the fabric type of repair that somebody did. The crack was not injected!
Only Basement Flood Protector pressure injects the crack and then hands you a lifetime, transferable warranty!
INTERIOR DRAIN TILE:
Excessive hydrostatic pressure in the soil surrounding your basement walls and floor can lead to seepage problems. Typically, this seepage will enter the basement through floor cracks and where the floor and wall meet.
Often failed outside drain tile causes water to build up under your floor causing a saturation of water which comes up through the floor when rain soaks the soil.
The pictures below show some of the steps of the process involved in installing the interior drain tile to correct the problem.
If you have a radon remediation system in your basement, installing the interior drain tile can often improve your radon system's effectiveness. We can usually install the interior drain tile after the radon system is installed or with cooperation from the system's installer.
Our interior drain tile service provides you with a lifetime warranty against pressure related seepage in your basement!
SUMP PITS:
A sump pit is a fundamental part of basement flood protection. Over the years we have installed and replaced thousands of sump pits. Once the pit is installed, you will need an electric sump pump to serve as your primary protection and a battery backup sump pump to to serve as a backup to protect against power failure or primary pump failure.
The pictures below show some of the steps of the process involved in installing the sump pit.
EXTERIOR FOUNDATION MEMBRANES:
Leaks through block, brick, or stone foundations that cannot be repaired by epoxy injection, as described above, can be repaired by a rubber membrane. A rubber membrane can be adhered to the exterior of the foundation, providing a waterproof barrier, of course, excavation of the foundation is required.
WHAT IF I HAVE A FINISHED BASEMENT:
Our services can still be done in a finished basement. It does, however, require more prep work. For interior drain tile drywall or paneling on walls must be removed at least a foot or two up from the floor. Then, the studs must be cut in order to accommodate the cove plate system of the interior drain tile (if cove plate is not being installed, removing the studs is not necessary). We will work with you to accommodate your specific needs. We work with homeowners everyday to accommodate finished basements.
DO YOU STRUCTURALLY REPAIR OR CORRECT SETTLED FOUNDATIONS:
We do not perform structural repair or correct settled foundations, but we highly recommend Dave Pate & Son's, Ltd. for such problems. You can visit them at www.sinking.com
