Wet Basement Repairs

Over the years, we have spent a lot of time trying to understand how water enters basements and how to prevent them from leaking again. 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”.

This method is known as the guaranteed method, because you will never again have a basement flood. Our method is the ultimate waterproofing for basements! This allows you to address all of your problems at once. While some contractors will solely promote repairs to be done from the inside, we strongly recommend the exterior basement waterproofing approach.

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. Once you have applied the correct foundation waterproofing and imported new backfill (if required) you can then adjust the entire landscaping so that water runs away from your house.

This is also a great time to repair the foundation’s parging! With a new weeping tile in place, I can assure you that you will be getting a lot more water in your sump pump system so make sure your sump pump is operating properly and consider the installation of either a battery backup sump pump or a water backup sump pump in the event the main pump fails or the power goes out.

Septic Systems

This industry has been a passion of mine for a long time. I enjoy the science behind wastewater treatment. It also fits in nicely with my wet-room philosophies in that you must understand water and its behavior to effectively get rid it.

We have a deep understanding of all types of septic systems, from the basic trench beds and filter systems to the more advanced tertiary systems like Ecoflo, Bionest and EnviroSeptic. For the most sensitive areas, we can also design phosphate removal septic system.

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.

We are experts in system design.

We offer septic system installation and repairs as well as septic system design and repair. If it’s a new septic tank that you need, we install both concrete septic tanks and plastic septic tanks. 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. If it’s a drain field (aka septic bed or leaching field) you need, we’ve got you covered.

We follow the Ontario Building Code, and often exceed 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!
