Our team ensures that the foundation is properly prepped by pressure washing the concrete and allowing proper time to dry off. This allows us to inspect for problem areas in the wall and seal any holes or penetrations with new concrete and polybitume sealant.
Our team doesn't cut corners with inferior products. Once the wall is prepped, a special adhesive primer is rolled on the wall. Once the adhesive has reached the ideal tackiness the polybitume membrane is applied to the foundation, ensuring seamless transitions for maximum efficiency. All edges are sealed with a polybitume caulking, this provides 100% bonding with the foundation and prevents water from seeping behind the membrane.
Proper Drainage around the foundation is the key to the success of the waterproofing foundation process. Here at Do-iron Construction, our team goes above and beyond by installing the best dimple wrap membrane on the market. The dimple wrap gets installed over the polybitume membrane relieving hydrostatic pressure off the foundation wall.This membrane has a fabric adhered to the dimples, creating an air gap between the soil and the wall. Allowing any ground water to be directed straight to the weeping tile system.
The weeping system is a drainage pipe installed next to the footing that redirects water into a sump pump or gravity drains elsewhere on the property. Our team installs perforated "O" pipe with fabric cloth installed around the pipe to prevent sediment from entering the pipe and clogging the system. The weeping tile is encapsulated with drainage stone making the flow of water easy and keeping hydrostatic pressure off the foundation wall.
Many contractors overlook the importance of properly back filling against a foundation wall. Water mitigation actually starts from the ground. It's important that the landscape around the house drains away from the foundation, this helps preserve the integrity of the foundation concrete. Our team takes the necessary steps to ensure good soil compaction when backfilling to reduce the amount of natural soil settling as much as possible. From budget friendly options like rough grading, to premium services where new top soil installed for a fresh new landscape.
