Waterproofing in Versailles, Kentucky
We started the installation process by excavating the floor about 6 inches downwards and 6 inches away from the wall. We made sure to prevent dust by covering all vents, furniture, and any other important aspects with a plastic tarping.
Subfloor Drainage System in Versailles, Kentucky
After trenching out the floor, we then installed our WaterGuard subfloor drains in the trenches. We made sure to surround the drains with a gravel backfill, which will help filter debris and will allow us to properly grade/pitch the drains towards the sump pump.
