Foundation Waterproofing & Drainage Systems Installation

Based in Stamford, CT, C. Fidaleo & Son, Inc. provides foundation waterproofing and drainage system services, which are essential components of building construction and maintenance aimed at protecting structures from water damage and moisture intrusion.

  1. Foundation Waterproofing: This involves applying various waterproofing materials and techniques to the foundation walls and footings of a building to prevent water from seeping into the basement or crawl space. Waterproofing materials may include liquid membranes, sheet membranes, waterproof coatings, and drainage systems.
  2. Exterior Drainage Systems: Installing exterior drainage systems helps to redirect water away from the foundation of the building. These systems typically include:
    • French Drains: A French drain consists of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel or aggregate that is installed underground around the perimeter of the foundation. It collects and redirects groundwater away from the foundation to a suitable drainage outlet.
    • Gutters and Downspouts: Properly functioning gutters and downspouts help to collect rainwater from the roof and direct it away from the foundation. Downspouts should discharge water at least several feet away from the building to prevent pooling near the foundation.
    • Grading and Sloping: Ensuring that the ground around the foundation slopes away from the building helps to prevent water from pooling around the foundation walls. Proper grading and sloping of the soil surface away from the building are essential for effective drainage.
  3. Interior Drainage Systems: In addition to exterior drainage systems, interior drainage systems may be installed to manage water that penetrates the foundation walls. These systems typically include:
    • Interior French Drains: Similar to exterior French drains, interior French drains consist of a perforated pipe installed beneath the basement floor along the interior perimeter of the foundation. It collects water that seeps through the foundation walls and directs it to a sump pump.
    • Sump Pump Systems: A sump pump is installed in a sump pit or basin within the basement or crawl space. It pumps collected water out of the building and away from the foundation to prevent flooding and water damage.
