How to Waterproof Basement | Bob Vila

Bob and Larry Janesky of Basement Systems review the work being done to cut a drainage trench in the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. Water will be channeled through the trench to a sump dug at the lowest spot in the basement where it can be pumped out of the home. A triple safe power pump protects the home even if there is a loss of power. Bob reviews the work done on the existing plumbing once all the waterproofing and flood-prevention measures are put in place in the basement. www.RidgebackBasement.ca
