Problem
A homeowner in Sagaponack, NY reached out to Zavza Seal LLC to address recurrent water intrusion issues around their foundation and crawl space. Water was entering through the sewer pipe opening, seeping near the crawl space window, and pooling around the home’s perimeter during rainfall. The existing downspouts were not directing water far enough away from the structure, creating long-term risks to the foundation’s integrity. The client needed a comprehensive waterproofing and drainage solution that would not only stop current leaks but prevent future water intrusion.
Solution
Zavza Seal LLC designed a multi-component waterproofing and drainage strategy tailored to the property’s specific challenges. Our team performed the following services:
1. Sewer Pipe Penetration Sealing
We began by sealing the point of entry where the sewer pipe penetrates the foundation wall. This area is a common source of water leaks and had to be waterproofed with precision to eliminate seepage.
2. Crawl Space Window Drainage System
To protect the crawl space area, we installed a self-contained drainage system adjacent to the crawl space window, complete with a rain guard. This addition prevents water from collecting near the window and ensures incidental rainwater is diverted before it can enter the home.
3. Downspout Extensions and Dry Well Installation
We extended five existing downspouts to discharge water further away from the foundation. This involved:
- Excavating trenches extending at least 10 linear feet away from the building
- Installing a newly excavated dry well to collect and disperse water safely underground
This approach reduces hydrostatic pressure near the foundation and enhances long-term water management for the property.
4. Deck Protection During Excavation
In the backyard, our team carefully removed lines of deck planks along approximately 50 linear feet to allow for trenching without damaging the deck structure. The planks were preserved and reinstalled after the drainage system was completed.
Outcome
The homeowner now benefits from a completely sealed and water-managed foundation system, resulting in:
- Elimination of water seepage through the sewer pipe opening
- A protected crawl space window with proper drainage
- Redirection of stormwater through downspout extensions and dry well installation
- Structural preservation of the backyard deck during excavation
- Long-term prevention of foundation damage caused by water accumulation
This waterproofing project in Sagaponack, NY, was completed on time and with minimal disruption to the property.
