Project Overview

Zavza Seal LLC was approached by a homeowner in Northport, NY, experiencing water intrusion in their block foundation wall, particularly in the area surrounding a window well. This issue was causing moisture buildup and threatening the structural integrity of the foundation. Our team devised and executed a comprehensive waterproofing solution tailored to the homeowner’s needs.

Challenges

1. Water Intrusion: Persistent water seepage through the block foundation wall caused by poor drainage around the window well.
2. Foundation Damage: Voids and cracks in the block wall allowing moisture penetration.
3. Environmental Concerns: Northport’s coastal climate, characterized by heavy rains and fluctuating temperatures, exacerbated the issue.

Scope of Work

Steps Taken to Repair and Waterproof the Foundation Wall

1. Window Well Removal:
   • Safely removed the existing window well to access the foundation wall.
2. Excavation:
   • Dug down to the footing on both sides of the window well to expose the entire affected area (approximately 24 sq. ft.).
3. Foundation Wall Preparation:
   • Cleaned the block wall thoroughly to remove dirt and debris.
   • Patched and filled voids and cracks to restore the wall’s surface.
4. Application of Waterproofing System:
   • Applied a high-quality liquid waterproofing membrane for a robust barrier against water intrusion.
   • Installed a protective mat over the membrane to enhance durability and prevent damage during backfilling.
5. Window Well Replacement:
   • Re-installed the window well, ensuring it was properly sealed to prevent future leaks.
6. Backfilling and Restoration:
   • Backfilled the excavated area to the original grade level.
   • Restored the border blocks and gravel for a seamless finish.

Results

1. Eliminated Water Intrusion:
   The application of the liquid waterproofing membrane and protective mat effectively sealed the block foundation wall, preventing future water penetration.
2. Improved Foundation Integrity:
   Patching voids and applying the waterproofing system reinforced the structural stability of the foundation.
3. Enhanced Drainage:
   Re-installing the window well with proper sealing ensured optimal drainage and protection against flooding.
