What is the Process of Exterior Waterproofing? | RCC Waterproofing Toronto

[@ForgottenFables-oi1oc]

That black plastic dimple pipe collapses very easy. Should use Schedule 40.

[@bsh21wash1]

Would this also solve issues from water coming up thru the concrete floor due to rising water table?

[@MarriageandtheSingleLady]

Do we have to seal all four walls of the home?

[@murphythedog1637]

How much does this cost?

[@ChristopherJones16]

Thats all I kept thinking, because this guy does it right, and I need mine done asap!

[@jchowald]

10-15k for that wall alone is my guess. They do a proper job here. Well done. I cheaped out and went with a guy who went to all the trouble to do the dig and didn’t put that rubber coat on. Never again.

[@MarriageandtheSingleLady]

When I say AINT no water getting in that basement! LOL

[@AlMai222]

It actually is. He used a BIG-O system and on top of that it’s socked, meaning it’s covered with a filter fabric which is a giant no no, it clogs up and overtime the water will have a hard time entering the pipe as it should, building hydrostatic pressure around the perimeter of the home. Proper system would be 4” perforated PVC drain pipe and gravel overtop. - Master Drain Tech in Raincouver, BC

That looks like exactly what needs to be done to our foundation. What's a reasonable ballpark cost range for the size and type of job shown in the video? We're in Indiana, obviously with different contractors and a different economy but I'm looking for a general idea. Thanks in advance for your input. It looks like your crew did a great job!

[@ChristopherJones16]

yeah so more like.. "what does this cost where you live sir, and how much is the minimum wage, and property taxes?" to be able to get an idea so we can convert it to our area's cost of living.

[@ambassadoroftruth99]

Thanks for sharing each step from restoration to waterproofing. Do all waterproofing companies restore walls and waterproof like you? Thx!

[@redciroc1211]

I worked for a waterproofing company and we did not do it like this

[@stoparret]

Just started working for an excavating contractor, and was wondering about this process and product terminology, especially in Canadian industry. This video was extremely helpful! 👌

[@jaydrew83]

What is the product you use for the accelerator? Looking at a DIY and can't find the product to accelerate the curing process.

[@biggmark5498]

How long did this process take

[@Krj254]

Only on the one side of the foundation?

[@ChristopherJones16]

Whatever side is leaking. Pray you dont have to do all sides! Usually its only one side because "water always finds a way" and once it finds a way.. it only needs that one way which itll expand from one tiny crack/stream into one canyon/river and doesnt need to find a second way. It'll just reroute to the first way since it offers the least resistance of flow.

[@PeacefulCountryLife]

They probably did this as an example or the didn't film it all

[@svenkat2006]

This video is in more detail than the ones I saw before. I see in my case water is initially coming from the floor in the basement laundry room which is at South West Corner of my house. If the rain is more it even leaking through walls. Waterproofing the walls will not help as the water still comes through the floor. I see you removed the existing weeping tiles, not sure if they are in my house then you placed a french drain which is black in color, does this control the water coming from floor.

[@netwt449]

Achilles heel in this … corrugated pipe. Probably crushed under the weight of backfill!

[@user-yl6yy2yj3n]

After all that great work you put them nail holes in the foundation

[@sef2273]

Why not use stone from footer to top of wall to finish grade?

[@ChristopherJones16]

Are you saying to just fill the whole trench with stone up to the surface? Homeowner probably wants to grow grass there.

[@sef2273]

@@ChristopherJones16 just cover the top 4 inches with topsoil

[@youngprince716]

The stone is specific drainage stone. You backfill with dirt and grade / pitch away from the home so that water naturally runs away. Mulch, stone, anything besides fill... would just hold too much water. Grading away from the structure allows for most of the water to go away and then anything that makes its way down and joins the ground water can then be pumped away if it gets too high

[@Hi.Im.Chucky]

Is waterproofing the outside and then adding a sump pump in the inside overkill?

[@RCCWaterproofing]

It depends on how high the water tables in your area are. For some places like towns built near big bodies of water, a sump pump is necessary to prevent water levels from rising too high and flooding your basement from the inside. So in certain places, yeah it could be overkill or more of a precaution but other places, it might be a necessary part of the system.

[@mikesutton748]

You should checkout high octane weeping tile by French Drain Man. Blows that black pipe away with better stench then and more opening per linear foot for starters.

[@briantownsend5124]

Looks like that old clay tile your tying in to doesn’t drain for shit, you can see the standing water in the ditch while dudes working

[@zamanGilgiti9205]

Good work 👍👍
