While fixing one problem, make sure not to cause another! When waterproofing a basement expect lots of dirt to come out of the excavation. It’s best to put down plywood where you plan on placing the excavated soil. This way you don’t damage the grass and the homeowner won’t have anymore repair bills.

Another day, another wet basement.

This is what a clogged drainage system (weeping tile) looks like. This client called us in to inspect why his basement floor was constantly wet. When your exterior drainage system is clogged, ground/rain water has no place to discharge and eventually finds a way inside your basement. In a situation like this, we have to constantly pump the water out of the trench in order to properly complete the job.

Our top priority is to ensure the safety of our employees at all times. Basement waterproofing is one of the most dangerous profession and should only be completed by experienced professionals. Shoring and benched excavation is vital when digging deep or around utility lines. As a homeowner it is critical to ensure you hire a profession who ensures there won’t be any accidents or deaths do to a trench caving in on someone. Stay safe out there folks!

It is very important as you backfill the soil, you also compact it making sure to avoid future soil settlement causing water pooling around the house
