Exterior waterproofing is essential for safeguarding your foundation and basement from Ottawa’s seasonal rains and snowmelt. Ottawa Plumbing Service provides expert exterior waterproofing services to create a protective barrier around your property, keeping water out and preventing costly water damage.
10-Step Waterproofing Process by Ottawa Plumbing Service
- Excavation: Dig a trench around the basement foundation, two feet from the wall, placing soil on tarps for a clean site.
- Wall Cleaning and Inspection: Clean and inspect exterior walls for cracks, holes, and voids.
- Sealing Cracks: Fill identified gaps with hydraulic cement to ensure secure, lasting seals.
- Cement Parging: Strengthen walls and create a base layer for waterproofing.
- Waterproof Layer Application: Apply a waterproof membrane to concrete foundations, from footing to grade.
- Dimpled Membrane Installation: Attach a dimpled waterproof membrane to direct water to the drainage system.
- Weeping Tile Installation: Place weeping tiles with filter cloth next to footings, connected to the foundation drain.
- Gravel Coverage: Add clean gravel over weeping tiles for effective drainage.
- Water Testing: Ensure the system drains properly through water tests.
- Backfill and Cleanup: Backfill with tamped soil and restore the property to its original state.
Each step is carefully executed for a fully waterproofed and protected basement.
