To Waterproofing below the water table is asking a lot of any system.
Bentonite is recommended internationally by engineers when it comes to preventing water intrusion, although the term is often unrecognized because people in the industry call it “MUD.” Bentonite was used to contain the BP Oil spill. Bentonite is also used when the Hoover Dam leaks, and it is the waterproof liner around every underwater tunnel system to-date, e.g. the tunnel between Michigan and Ontario. Engineers love Bentonite because it does not crystallize or disintegrate. So, as a foundation shifts and settles, the Bentonite shifts and settles with it. The government likes Bentonite because it is a completely natural material and it will not harm animals or plants.
BASEMENT WATERPROOFING
We displace loose soil around the foundation and replace it with Bentonite clay by using low-pressure grout pump injection. This process creates a high-performance watertight membrane, from below grade to the footing. Limiting moisture from penetrating the wall increases the longevity of the foundation. This engineer-recommended process is used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
