Client Observation
A homeowner in Brooklyn, NY, contacted Zavza Seal LLC regarding a persistent water intrusion issue in their basement. The client noticed water seeping through the floor in one of the basement rooms, especially after heavy rainfall. Concerned about potential structural damage and mold growth, they sought a professional solution to prevent further issues.
Diagnosis by Zavza Seal LLC
Our experienced team conducted a thorough inspection of the affected basement area. The assessment revealed that the water intrusion originated from a compromised section of the foundation wall, allowing moisture to seep into the basement. The external waterproofing system was either inadequate or deteriorated, making the foundation susceptible to leaks. To address this issue, our team formulated a targeted waterproofing solution to ensure long-term protection against water infiltration.
Solution Implemented
To resolve the water intrusion issue effectively, Zavza Seal LLC executed the following comprehensive repair plan:
- Excavation of the Exterior Foundation Wall
- Our team excavated approximately 12 linear feet (LF) of soil down to the foundation footing in the area where the leak was occurring.
- The foundation wall was thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt, debris, or damaged material.
- Foundation Wall Repair & Waterproofing
- Any defective areas in the foundation wall were repaired to restore its structural integrity.
- A high-performance Tremco GC250 liquid membrane was applied to the entire exposed wall surface to create a durable, waterproof barrier.
- To enhance the waterproofing system, a Delta brand protection membrane was installed over the liquid membrane, offering additional protection against moisture penetration and soil pressure (refer to Exhibit A).
- Installation of a Pressure Relief Pipe
- A pressure relief pipe was strategically installed at the side of the footing to improve water drainage and prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup, which could contribute to future leaks.
- Backfilling and Restoration
- The excavation was carefully backfilled to its original grade level, ensuring proper soil compaction and restoration of the landscape.
Results and Client Satisfaction
Upon completion of the project, the homeowner experienced a significant improvement in basement conditions. The area remained dry even after subsequent heavy rains, confirming the effectiveness of the waterproofing solution. The client was highly satisfied with Zavza Seal LLC’s professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering a lasting solution.
