How to Fix a Basement Leak

HOW TO FIXA BASEMENT LEAK 1 Install water stop material into the cold joint between the footing and the first course of the ICF block. Slope the surface soil away from the structure so that the rainfall is carried away from the structure. Install gutters and downspouts to carry the roof water away from the basement walls. 4 Install a waterproof barrier from 6" WATER PROOFING above final grade down to and onto the side of the footing or slab. Install a perforated pipe foundation drain or "French drain" and cover it in 4" drain rock with 12-18" of rock. Cover the rock with geo textile filter fabric. French Drain Install a protection course and drainage mat on top of the waterproofing course, and on top of the footing drain and drain rock. Backfill with native soil after a dimple board air barrier with a filter fabric has been installed. WATERPROOFING The Foundation Expert http://apexwaterproofing.com/
