Wet Basement Repairs

We have dedicated a lot of time over the years to understanding how water enters a basement and most importantly how to stop a leaking basement from reoccurring. 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”.

This method is known as the guaranteed method, because you will never again have a basement flood. This method is the best for waterproofing 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.

With the exterior method, because you are excavating the entire foundation wall you will be able to: repair foundation cracks, change the weeping tile, waterproof the foundation using tar, Blueskin membrane or Tremco waterproofing combined with added protection from Delta membrane. Once you have applied the correct foundation waterproofing and imported new backfill (if required) you can then adjust the entire landscaping so that water runs away from your house.

This is also a great opportunity to repair the foundation’s gating! 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 been a passion of mine for a long time. I enjoy the science behind wastewater treatment. It also fits in nicely with my wet-room philosophies in that you must understand water and its behavior to effectively get rid 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 not only allow us to effectively service them but it also gives us more options when designing a system to best suit your environment.

We are experts in system design.

Our septic system designs and repairs we also offer septic system installations. 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 bullet proof tanks are manufactured by Roth Global Plastics which in my opinion are the toughest tank you will find. We can provide you with the drain field (also known as septic bed, or leaching field) that you require.

We follow the Ontario Building Code, and often exceed their requirements. We know what it takes for a system to last many years. This is because we have seen many systems fail over the years.

Many installations have not followed the installation guidelines, which has led to system failures or premature failure of expensive investments. Avoid making these same mistakes and call Underground Solutions for ALL your septic system needs!
