- 1 – We seal the basement off from adjoining rooms, avoiding dust propagation.
- 2 – We cut and break the concrete to dig a narrow trench (about 16 inches wide) directly in the concrete slab, along the foundation walls in your basement, down to the base of your footing.
- 3 – We lay a geotextile membrane at the bottom of the trench.
- 4 – We install a superior quality French drain.
- 5 – We connect the interior French drain to the sump pump or other equipment, depending upon the standards set by your municipality.
- 6 – We repair cracks and holes from the inside, by injection system or repair with waterproof mortar by crystallization.
- 7 – We install a dimpled membrane on the foundation wall, allowing for airflow and redirecting condensation and humidity to the drain.
- 8 – The drain pipes are then covered with clean crushed stone to allow for optimal drainage.
- 9 – A layer of concrete is applied by our experts, with a hand-trowel finish.
