Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing

Knowing where water is leaking into the basement is one thing and adding all the right products to make sure all the leaks are controlled to make sure the basement will stay dry all the time in something else. The walk out door in the garage was below grade and in the fall leaves clog the outside drain and water would come under the outside door and then go under the insdie door tot he basement. Our Trench drain with sump pump near by took care of this leak once and for all. Also, adding a sump pump systems with a battery back up provided that extra protection for power outages and peace of mind when away traveling.

Before Waterproofing

Drywall or in this case the paneling and carpet needed to be removed to begin the waterproofing installation.

Sump Pump Location and Trench Drain

Sump pump pit is located close to where the trench drain will be installed by the rear door.

Going under interior walls

With a small section of the drywall removed for an opening the waterproofing system can be installed. This shows the system being connected to the trench drain at the rear door.

Battery Back Up Sump Pump

Water testing the back up pump so make sure it is all working. The 1500 gallon and hour back up pump is the one with the white top in the sump pump pit.

Trench drain next to Finish Sump Pump

The floor is re concreted in around the sump pump and trench drain at the out side door to trap leaking water coming under the door.

Waterproofing Past the Bathroom

So items next to the exterior wall of the basement need to be moved to install the waterproofing system. In this case we were able to go past the bathroom without moving anything. NOTE: paneling is needed to be removed.

Waterproofing along a basement wall

A small section of the floor is removed to make the space needed for the waterproofing pipe to be installed. Here, the pipe in finished with new concrete. The water collected by the pipe drains to the sump pump.

Installing the discharge line

Proper distances for exiting the water pumped from the sump pump is very important.

Finished install exterior discharge line

The water pumped out of the basement is drained far enough away from the basement to make sure it will not flow back towards the home. This yard was fairly level nearer to the home so the line was extended well to the back of the yard.
