How are interior waterproofing systems installed in older homes without built-in drainage systems

In older homes without built-in drainage systems, interior waterproofing systems are often retrofitted along the interior edges of the foundation. This is a common method used to preserve the integrity of the foundation as the home ages. The installation of these systems typically involves creating a trench along the perimeter of the foundation, where the drainage components are placed. This retrofit becomes necessary to prevent further damage caused by hydrostatic pressure and seepage.

  2. What Are The Two Common Categories Of Built-in Drainage Systems In Newer Homes? • Built-in drainage systems in newer homes usually fall into two categories. The first is the shallow depth method, where a rectangular-shaped channel is installed a few inches under the basement floor along the foundation's perimeter. Water runs down the wall, drains into the channel, and flows towards a collection basin. From there, a sealed sump pump evacuates the water away from the home. The second method for commercial concrete floor repair is the deep channel drainage system, which is the more common approach. This method involves removing concrete where the floor and wall meet, excavating soil below the foundation's lowest point, and laying a perforated pipe into a bed of gravel. The pipe is pitched to drain towards a sealed sump pump basin, and the floor is re-cemented to seal the trench. You can also ko for basement wall crack repair injectionas it has a high success rate.
