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”.

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! This allows you to address all of your problems at once. Although some contractors will only recommend that repairs be made from the inside, we strongly advocate exterior basement waterproofing.

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! You will see a lot more water in your sump pumps system after you have a new weeping tiles in place. Make sure your sump pumps are operating properly. Consider installing a battery backup sump or a water backup sump to protect your main pump from power outages.

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 not only allow us to effectively service them but it also gives us more options when designing a system to best suit 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. We can install either concrete or plastic septic tanks if you require a new one. 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.

Our installations are always installed according to the Ontario Building Code and often we surpass 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!
