Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Partial Floor replacement with interior Waterproofing in Burlington, ON

Todd P has had some leaking in his finished basement and has torn out all the walls and floor in preparation to waterproof and refinish. David made some recommendations for an internal waterproofing system including our patented WaterGuard that drains to our SuperSump. Along with the project there was a area of the basement floor that need to be removed and replaced all along one wall. Gord, our foreman, along with his crew completed the work, following safety protocols during Covid-19 pandemic.

Removed finished walls

Before we even quoted this job, the customer had torn out everything so we could get a good look

Sump location

The systems designer chose under the stairs for the Super Sump so that it was out of the way.

Signs of dampness

Efflorescence on concrete blocks is a tell tale sign that your basement is leaking.

Cracked floor.

In most cases cracking in the floor is not a problem but sometimes is severe enough that a partial floor replacement is necessary

Ready for waterproofing

The basement is cleared out except for the home gym which will be removed later

Work around plumbing

usually there is some main stacks in the way that we need to work around

Installed Sump

SuperSump is installed and discharge line is neatly put under floor. The discharge line will eventually come out and go up the wall where it exits the house

Floor leveling

Quite a few houses has the floor drain sunk very deep. This is good for protection from flood however, if they are sunk to low, it will make finishing the floor very difficult. Omni used self leveling concrete to raise the floor drain.
