Basement Waterproofing
The soil along the basement wall was excavated to the depth of the footer. Large cracks were discovered at two locations in the exposed wall. The cracks were patched and the wall was sealed with basement waterproofing. A perforated drain pipe was installed at footer level and discharged to daylight. The excavated area was filled with 2B gravel to within approximately 2-ft. of grade and a solid drain pipe was installed for downspout drain lines.

Water Garden Pond
This backyard is the low point on the block. The homeowner gets the water from the backyards of all the houses on the street.
The homeowner previously installed a water garden pond at the point where the water ran into his property. When the pond filled up he would us a sump pump to pump the water to the street.
We expanded the capacity of the water garden pond and installed a drain line from the pond to the storm sewer catch basin.
Paving Brick Patio...
with sitting walls was installed at the back of the house. Since the backyard slopes to the house, two channel drains were installed in the patio to keep water from flowing into the family room.
