Photo Album: Waterproofing a home in St Catharines with a large bench footing

Wendy in St Catharines has a home that has been lowered at some time which has left her with a very large bench footing. A bench footing is when the basement has been lowered but not using a typical underpinning. Instead, the basement is lowered out past the original footing. This method creates a challenge for waterproofing. The contractor has to wrap the bench in a proper drainage membrane and incorporate this into the interior drainage system .
