Photo Album: Waterproofing a block foundation in Stoney Creek, On
Donna In Stoney Creek has a house with a block foundation that was leaking. Omni Basement Systems waterproofed her home using the patented drain system called Waterguard. Waterguard drains water from under the floor, the footing wall joint and the walls and directs it to the SuperSump to be pump away. The SuperSump is unlike any sump pump on the market. It features an airtight lid, a Zoeller cast iron pump and a high water watch alarm.
Leaking wall
As you can see, the bottom blocks of the wall are wet. This is because the water flows down through the cavities of the wall to bottom.
Trench opened up
A trench is opened up next to the wall to accept the Waterguard
Wall membreane
Here Delta MS is used as a wall membrane.
Supersump
A Supersump is installed to accept the water from the walls
Floor refinished
