This page is designed to allow the customer to understand the practices and procedures involved with basement waterproofing. We understand basement problems are a headache and an inconvenience. We strive for quality work in a timely manner. It is very important the problem be fixed the right way.  Bandaging from the inside will never correct an exterior condition. We do not manage water from the inside with drains and pumps we stop it before it ever gets in. At KEJ SITEWORK no job is too small.

                        WATERPROOFING PROCEDURES
 

• Excavate exterior of block walls down to the footer level
• Remove & replace existing footer tile with SDR. 35 perforated pipe and bed in gravel
• Power wash walls and scrape clean, inspect for damage
• Plaster walls with 3/8”-1/2” of ironite cement coating to fill and seal cracks
• Roll on tar coating to seal entire wall
• Backfill to code or homeowners request with #57 stone (min 3’ over footer tile)
• Replace downspout lines and reconnect to storm drains
• Complete backfill with dirt and grade yard smooth

Optional insulation: Polystyrene foam board may be installed
1”, 1 1/2”, or 2” board is available with an R-10 value. Polystyrene is an excellent protector and insulator of your basement walls.
