Interior Basement Waterproofing

Here is the procedure for interior basement waterproofing.

Sump Pump and Battery Back Up System.

• Determine a drainage point and examine existing sump pump pit. Determine if a new sump pump is required.
• Concrete is broken out along the wall to expose the footing.
• A trench is formed beside the footing in order to install your interior tile.
• Holes are drilled in the base of the wall to release water accumulation.
• Membrane is installed over the area of the wall to capture leakage.
• A bead of sealant is used at all vertical joints and at the ends to stop any leakage.
• The membrane overlaps the footing to provide access to the tile.
• The tile is then covered with a layer of 3/4 clear stone leaving enough room for approx 3 inches of concrete.
• A smooth layer of concrete is then put over the stone to refinish your floor.
