Title:

How are interior waterproofing systems installed in older homes without built-in drainage systems?

Description:

In older homes without built-in drainage systems, interior waterproofing systems are often retrofitted along the interior edges of the foundation. This is a common method used to preserve the integrity of the foundation as the home ages. The installation of these systems typically involves creating a trench along the perimeter of the foundation, where the drainage components are placed. This retrofit becomes necessary to prevent further damage caused by hydrostatic pressure and seepage. Contact your service provider for an estimate on basement water leak repair cost and residential concrete repair cost. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

What Are The Two Common Categories Of Built-in
Drainage Systems In Newer Homes?
  • Built-in drainage systems in newer homes usually
    fall into two categories. The first is the
    shallow depth method, where a rectangular-shaped
    channel is installed a few inches under the
    basement floor along the foundation's perimeter.
    Water runs down the wall, drains into the
    channel, and flows towards a collection basin.
    From there, a sealed sump pump evacuates the
    water away from the home. The second method for
    commercial concrete floor repair is the deep
    channel drainage system, which is the more common
    approach. This method involves removing concrete
    where the floor and wall meet, excavating soil
    below the foundation's lowest point, and laying a
    perforated pipe into a bed of gravel. The pipe is
    pitched to drain towards a sealed sump pump
    basin, and the floor is re-cemented to seal the
    trench. You can also ko for basement wall crack
    repair injection as it has a high success rate.
