Poured concrete foundation
This a typical poured concrete foundation. Finished walls are removed.
Perimeter floor opened up
The first step is to open up a trench around the perimeter.
proper disposal
The concrete goes in a dedicated bin and is disposed of.
Leaking from cracks and form ties
Even if there is not a definite crack in the foundation, there are other places that water can penetrate.
Dampness from floor.
This is a clear sign that there is water under the floor. The efflorescence on the floor crack is a sign that water is coming up and evaporating which will cause humidity in the basement.
Delta wall membrane
The Delta MS membrane will drain any cracks or future cracks into the system.
Water under the floor.
As suspected, there was a great deal of water under the slab. This will show up as efflorescence on the floor and or on the bottom of the wall as the concrete wall wicks up the water and it evaporates.
Pump liner installed
The Supersump liner is installed and the internal drainage system is drained into the liner.
Waterguard installed in the trench.
This patented drainage system will carry water to the sump pump system.
The pump and lid is installed and the discharge line is added.
The discharge line is going into the trench and is hidden until it comes out of the floor and out of the home.
The discharge line is installed
Later the discharge line will come out of the trench and connect here.
Tunneled under the water heater
The footing was larger than expected so instead of waiting for the water heater to be moved, we tunneled underneath it.
Concrete restored
The concrete is restored back to original height.
Discharge line up and out
The discharge can now come out of the floor and out of the home.
