It’s a major excavation project. There is a lot of soil to be placed up on the ground. It requires expertise both in the products being installed and the process of installation itself. For example, without the gravel on top of the new perforated weeping tile/pipe, and soil below it, the system won’t work. The holes in the pipe need to be pointed the right way (down). A fabric barrier and gravel in the system helps keep dirt from clogging holes in the pipe. There are many different steps involved.
If done properly, this is the best way to protect the basement of a home from water seepage, or worse, a flood. It tackles the problem at its source.
But it’s complicated and labour-intensive, and needs to be done the right away. Get it wrong and water will still leak in. It will be challenging to go back for a do-over. It’s probably best to leave a job like this in the hands of professionals – so it’s done correctly the first time.
Cracks are repaired and cement mix applied if the wall is made from either cinder blocs, stones or bricks.
Aqua-bloc 720-38 is applied
Reinforcing mesh applied ( Yellow Jacket)
Another layer of aqua-bloc is applied to sandwich the mesh.
Delta-MS drainage membrane installed as a final layer of protection.
Finishing strip along the top of the delta membrane to sop debris from going behind the waterproofed wall and the membrane.
Approximately one foot of gravel is installed around the weeping tile to protect the weeper and also allow for filtration.
New weeping tile with a filter cloth are installed to carry away the water.
