Wet Basement Repairs

Over the years, we have spent a lot of time trying to understand how water enters basements and how to prevent them from leaking again. We have tried various methods and with years of trials and tribulations, we have taken the best out of each method and combined them into one great method we call “Our Guaranteed Method”.

It is called the guaranteed method because if you carefully follow every step of the process you will never have a flooded basement again! Our method is the ultimate waterproofing for basements! It allows you to address all your issues at once. While some contractors will solely promote repairs to be done from the inside, we strongly recommend the exterior basement waterproofing approach.

Exterior methods are used to repair foundation cracks and change weeping tiles. Tremco waterproofing, Blueskin membrane, Tremco waterproofing, Tremco waterproofing, Tremco waterproofing, Tremco waterproofing, Tremco waterproofing, and Delta membrane will also be used. After you have completed the foundation waterproofing, and if necessary, imported new backfill, you can adjust the landscaping to ensure that water runs away.

This is also a great time to repair the foundation’s parging! With a new weeping tile in place, I can assure you that you will be getting a lot more water in your sump pump system so make sure your sump pump is operating properly and consider the installation of either a battery backup sump pump or a water backup sump pump in the event the main pump fails or the power goes out.

Septic Systems

This industry has long been an interest of mine. I like the science behind wastewater treatment and it also ties in nicely with my wet basement philosophies in the sense that you have to understand water and how it behaves in order to effectively get rid of it.

Over the years we have come to understand all the various types of septic systems in use, from the common trench bed systems and filter bed systems to the more advanced tertiary systems such as Ecoflo, Bionest, EnviroSeptic and Eljen and for the most sensitive areas, we’ll design Phosphorus removal septic systems.

Understanding all these systems will allow us to service them efficiently and give us more options for designing a system that suits your environment.

In addition to system designing, we take pride in all your other septic system needs: septic tank pumping, septic tank cleaning, septic tank filter cleaning, sewage pump and effluent pump maintenance, distribution box adjustments (if equipped) as well as complete system inspections, if you are wondering how well the system is performing.

We offer septic system installation and repairs as well as septic system design and repair. If it’s a new septic tank that you need, we install both concrete septic tanks and plastic septic tanks. Although I recommend concrete tanks, sometimes you need a plastic tank. When that happens, we use the toughest tanks in the industry, Roth!

These tanks are made by Roth Global Plastics and are my favorite. If it’s a drain field (aka septic bed or leaching field) you need, we’ve got you covered.

We follow the Ontario Building Code, and often exceed their requirements. We understand what it takes to install a system that will last many many years and the big reason for this is because we’ve inspected many systems over the years and we’ve seen a pattern of mistakes that installers or homeowners are making.

Many installs have failed to follow the installation guidelines which have resulted in immediate system failure or premature failure of a very expensive investment! Avoid making these same mistakes and call Underground Solutions for ALL your septic system needs!
