Waterproofing Done Right

Hi Ed,

I would like to take the opportunity to express my thanks again for a job well done in correcting the water seepage that was occurring every time it rained last summer.  I saw your ad in the Keene Shopper News and after mopping the basement floor repeatedly, I took a chance that perhaps this would work.  After experiencing a backyard full of water this past weekend and a dry basement, I have to say "GREAT JOB".  Our basement, being only 4 1/2 ' high was a very tough job on the backs and heads of the Wet Basement Solutions crew, but they rose to the challenge (no pun intended).  

As I expressed on the phone, I will and have referrred your company for correcting wet basement problems.  

Thank you.

How To Waterproof A Basement

Most water enters basement from hydrostatic pressure at floor/ wall joint or up thru floor cracks.  To relieve this pressure a drain is installed sub- floor around perimeter and drained into sump pit.

Typically, the basement waterproofing installation process is as follows:

  • The inside perimeter of the floor is cut about 10 inches from the wall. A trench is excavated and cleared of all debris

  • The lowest course of block is drilled at every core pocket to release and remove the entrapped water. This step is not necessary with field stone or poured concrete walls

  • The Quick-Flo drain is laid in the trench and pitched towards the sump pit(s). A cove base specific to your foundation is installed against the wall. All subfloor voids are then filled with ¾” washed gravel.

  • A vapor barrier is installed over the excavated trench and the floor is re-cemented to its original level over the Quick-Flo.

  • The water is then discharged away from the house to a small drywell with a  bubble pot. and freeze guard.
