Our waterproofing system stops the water on the exterior of your basement walls instead of on the inside.  The problem wall is first excavated down to the foundation.  The old tile is removed and replaced with a new socked tile.  If needed, a new sump pump system will be installed in the basement to keep the water level below your foundation.  A waterproofing compound is then applied to the wall from the existing grade of the landscaping all the way down to the foundation.  A protective cover is then placed over the waterproofing compound to protect it during backfilling.  Foam or insulation can also be placed during this time. A minimum of 2-3 feet of well draining aggregate is then placed on top of the tile to assist in allowing any moisture around the foundation to find its way into the tile and then to the sump in the basement.  The excavation can then be backfilled with soil and the yard graded to slope away from the foundation.  Areas where settling cannot occur can be filled all the way up with well draining aggregate and in addition concrete column supports can be placed to avoid any settling of concrete pavement that may have needed to be replaced.  Yard can then be power raked and finished off with topsoil to assist in the planting of grass or reinstallation of landscaping.
