Below Grade Waterproofing in Hamilton, OH

This below grade garage in Hamilton, OH, leaked heavily during rains. We wrapped the exterior walls with our WaterGuard subfloor drainage system to invite built up water into the system. The drainage installation process included: trenching out the floor around the perimeter, drilling weep holes through the blocks, fitting our system into the trenches, pitching the system with gravel, and concealing the system with a fresh layer of concrete. The weep holes were key in this process, as they helped relieve the foundation of built up hydrostatic pressure. We then installed a SuperSump sump pump with a battery backup system in the corner of the basement to help discharge the water far away from the home.
