Description of Waterproofing
Some of the things we use to waterproof.
Please see – Basement Waterproofing for complete How To and Details
 |
Sump Pumps | A sump pump is the best way to remove water. Its fast, queit and very reliable.
Apple Drains We use Zoeller Pumps. Most commonly, Model M53 submersible with a 1/3 Horsepower motor, 1 ½ inch discharge line, and check valve to prevent back flow. To Date, we have not every been back to replace one of these pumps! That’s not to say they last forever, but they do last a long long time! |
 |
Sump Pits | A Sump Pit (the liner) is 24″ deep and surrounded by gravel to promote drainage into the pit. The pit is large enough to allow water to gather for the pump to lift it out. It comes witha solid lid cover to to help reduce moisture and radon gas!
|
 |
Cores | The Core is a hole drilled through the foundatin wall. The hole is usually 2″ which allows the 1 ½ inch PVC pipe to be inserted. Its a perfect fit! We can core walls, foundations, and curbs!
|
 |
Pipe | PVC Pipe is our choice for most drain lines. The solid pipe has smooth inside walls allowing water to easily flow through it. Size depends on the application. Downspout Drain Lines and Yard Drains, usually use 4 inch pipe. Storm Drains might use 6 inch or even 8 inch. |
 |
We also use Corrugated Pipe. This pipe is strong and comes in 100 foot rolls. It comes inSolid and perforated (holes in it). We use it for Yard Drains, French Drains, Foundation Drains and encase (surround) the pipe in gravel to help promote drainage.

Trenching | Trenching is done with a Ditch Witch, a machine used to trench fast and effectively to the proper depth. We don’t make a mess! We lay our tarps to catch the soil. After we Back Fill the trench, we move the excess to low spots or foundation walls and grade it out.
We Also Hand Dig. Shovels and Picks are used to help prevent damage to Utilities, such as Telephone, Cable, Gas, Electric and Sprinklers. We call to locate utilities on every job. Utitlies are marked with paint and flags showing us where they are and allows us to adjust our installation accordingly.. |
  |
Concrete Work | Driveways, Basement Floors, Side Walks, Patio’s.. Concrete is not a problem for us to cut and repalce. We have the right tools for any job.
When we need to trench a line through a driveway, we simply cut out a trench about 8 inches wide, remove the concrete, dig down to install our pipe , backfill and re-pour the concrete. No Worries! You’ll be surprised how good it looks when we are finished. Concrete is actually one of the easiest things to trench through when you have the right equipment. No need to pay higher prices like others charge because they have to rent equipment. We Cut Concrete Everyday and We’ll Do It Right The First Time! |

This is best video that shows WHERE and HOW water enters your Crawl Space or Basement. We actually put the camera INSIDE a void in the wall.
We suggest you watch it a couple times. It will amaze you what we find when we dig down the outside of basement or crawl space wall…
