The Origin Of Western (VOLCLAY) Bentonite Clays

tuffndri

Sodium Bentonite is a volcanic ash in origin

 
About 100 million years ago when volcanoes covered the western seaboard from Baja, California to Alaska, a series of violent eruptions blasted fine volcanic ash thousands of feet into the air where the prevailing winds carried it eastwards. Eventually, many of these particles fell into the inland salt sea that then covered a larger area of what is now the United States. Geologists believe that the ash, dissolved in the blistering hot, salty (sodium rich) water, then re-crystallized to form the soft, waxy mineral, montmorillonite (or sodium Bentonite)

Waterproofing below the water table is asking a lot of any system.

The solution: an absolutely dependable waterproofing system. One that heals itself whenever its protection gel is affected by structural settling or intense vibration. Bentonite Waterproofing Systems are tough enough to hold back 97 feet of hydrostatic pressure. It swells when wet with water to form a gel membrane that seals permanently, and reseals if penetrated.

Sub Drain System

The Solution to Combination Problems

“The ultimate waterproofing approach” for old homes looks after all water problem areas in one. The bentonite injection protects the wall. A sub-drain that runs to the sump pump pit under the floor by the footing controls the hydrostatic pressure under the basement floor.

All wall and floor areas come with a Lifetime Transferable Warranty

No messy outside digging with our injection and sub-drain system

Excavation of Foundation Walls


At SafeStep Building Treatments Inc. one of our water control systems is excavation.


We have the equipment, the products, and the knowledge to do the job right from start to finish. From calling for locates to the final back-fill, we will look after it all.

After the initial excavation of your foundation, we:
  • Clean and prep the wall
  • Inspect wall and make necessary repairs
  • Apply the building code approved waterproofing system called TUFF-N-DRI*
  • Inspect perimeter drainage and evaluate
  • Back-fill with lots of ¾" clean gravel
  • Compacting soil every 2' when back-filling
  • Clean up and inspect
* TUFF-N-DRI consists of a flexible membrane with a premium foundation board, which protects, insulates, and drains.
