Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Wallingford

The challenge we faced was removing the finished material to gain access to the foundation wall.

To address this, Project Manager Steve went out to meet with the homeowner and, after presenting a few solutions such as outside dampproofing and a sump pump with a drainage system, the homeowner chose the Grate Sump with a full vapor barrier and the Grate-Drain drainage system, which channels water below the basement slab to the Grate Sump.

The challenge we faced was working in a finished basement. To address this, we installed a Santa-Fe system.

The challenge we faced was that this basement had a wide footer, so we had to break out a little bigger than usual.

To address this, we installed a full perimeter drainage system along with a sump pump with water backup, and we dug the discharge line underground 10 feet away from the home for proper drainage.

The challenges we faced were that we had a totally finished basement with carpet and everything, so our Senior Project Manager Steve first had to find the leak by starting with an outside water test to locate it.

Steve had seen this problem a few times before, so he knew how to approach it. After finding the leak, he recommended removing the lower portion of the wall. We then installed a new drainage system, parged the wall where the mud was washing into the basement, and tested the existing sump pump. Problem solved, and the homeowner was happy that she did not have to replace her entire existing drainage system.
