Commercial buildings need to adopt robust waterproofing measures in their basements to retain structural integrity, provide a favorable working environment to employees, and protect valuable assets from unwanted damage. New York faces significant humidity levels due to its climatic conditions and geography. Hence, it becomes even more essential to safeguard the most vulnerable section of the commercial property – the basement. Any compromise will soon become the breeding ground for moisture and associated troubles. What should you do? At Zicklin Contracting, we offer comprehensive commercial basement waterproofing services to serve different businesses and their specific requirements.

Waterproofing methods for commercial basements

Both water damage prevention and mitigation require proper assessment and solutions for long-term relief. The waterproofing process can cover different aspects to offer the best outcomes.

Crawl space encapsulation

Sealing the crawl space under your commercial building can help thwart mold and moisture problems and provide protection from flooding risks. This extensive task includes cleaning the crawl space, floor grading, drainage system installation, and vapor barrier addition.

  • What does it mean to seal or encapsulate a crawl space?

Encapsulation is a more comprehensive waterproofing technique that utilizes waterproof barriers and dehumidifiers. Sealing helps prevent the entry of moisture and outdoor air inside.

Sump pump installation

This affordable and effective device for water damage prevention is commonly used to eject unwanted water away from the basement through a pipe or hose. It can be a reliable protection, especially during wet months. The project cost usually varies based on the scope of work and basement size. Sump pump systems must be considered so you can run your business smoothly and avoid downtime due to water damage. Do you worry about the cost? Our team can address all your concerns, allowing you to reap the optimum benefits of this waterproofing method.

  • Where do you install sump pumps?

You can install it either in the crawlspace or basement area.

Drainage systems

Standing water in a commercial building can cause more harm than expected. Your facility can face massive losses due to water damage. You can overcome this situation by strategically installing drainage pipes and sump pumps. If there is a lack of adequate slope, we will correct the flooring angle to direct water away from the property for safe disposal.

  • How long can a drain run before venting?

The criteria depend on the length of the drain pipes. For example, smaller drain pipes, around two inches long, can have a distance of 5 feet from the drain trap. A 3-inch drain pipe can have a 6 feet distance. However, various factors are involved in such decisions. Adhering to plumbing codes is essential. Our experience and expertise in this area allow us to implement these projects hassle-free.

Commercial basement waterproofing steps

It begins with a site inspection to evaluate the property’s vulnerabilities and design proper solutions. Next, we clean and prep the areas to create optimal waterproofing conditions in the basement. Our team offers tailor-made solutions and checks their effectiveness. We keep an eye on incidental damages and remedy them without any delay. After everything goes right, the technicians inspect the site for a final time to ensure waterproofing systems are working appropriately. We can install membranes and seal them to prevent water infiltration.
