Welcome to our project video where we show you A Complete Basement Underpinning in Toronto | Timelapse | GJ MacRae - Timelapse! You’ll see how we transform an entire basement with #basementunderpinning, step by step! Below is a brief description of the process, but its always best to contact a specialist before undertaking a project like this! Basement underpinning is a complex process used to strengthen and increase the depth of an existing basement foundation walls and footings. It involves excavating the soil beneath the foundation in a controlled manner and then systematically constructing a new foundation or footing beneath the existing one. This process typically requires careful planning, engineering expertise, and specialized equipment. Basement underpinning is commonly performed to increase the height of a basement, create additional living space, or stabilize a compromised foundation. It is a crucial technique in basement renovations and can significantly enhance structural integrity and functionality. Also, keep a keen eye on the waterproofing warranty side of a basement underpinning project.

Thanks for watching our video about Concrete Garage Floor Installation in Mississauga! In this video we’ll walk you through the process of how to install a new concrete floor in your garage! The process of concrete installation on the garage floor can be described as follows: Build a concrete form: This is a wooden structure that defines the area and shape of your new concrete floor. It also prevents the concrete from spilling over the edges. You can use four wooden boards nailed together or secured by weights. Prepare the ground for the concrete: This involves removing debris, rocks, or vegetation from the surface and leveling it with a trowel or other tool. You may also need to compact the soil and add a layer of gravel for drainage and stability purposes. Place the form on the ground: This is where you want your concrete floor to be. Ensure it is aligned and level with the garage's walls and the surrounding ground. Mix the concrete in a wheelbarrow or other container: This involves adding water, cement, sand, and gravel in the right proportions and stirring them until they form a smooth and consistent concrete mixture. You can use ready-mix concrete truck for this. Pour the concrete into the frame: This is done by slowly and evenly transferring the concrete from the wheelbarrow to the forms using a shovel or a bucket. Start from one end of the structure and work your way to the other, filling any gaps or air pockets with additional concrete. Reinforce the concrete with steel rods or rebar: This is optional but recommended for large or heavy-duty floors. This involves placing steel bars or mesh around the edges and across the middle of the concrete floor to give it more strength and prevent cracking. You should do this before the concrete sets! Level the surface of the concrete with a trowel: This is done by moving the trowel back and forth over the wet concrete, removing any excess material, and creating a flat and even finish. You can also use a float or a screen to achieve this. Let the concrete dry and cure for several days: This is where you leave the concrete alone and let it harden and gain strength. You should avoid walking or placing anything heavy on it during this time. You may also need to cover it with plastic sheets or spray it with water to prevent it from drying too fast and cracking. Remove the forms once the concrete is dry: This is done by lifting or prying off the wooden boards that form the structure. You can then dispose of them or reuse them for another project.

Thanks for watching our video about Inside Basement Waterproofing - Inside Weeping Tile Installation in Oakville In this video, we'll walk you through the following: The process of installing weeping tiles inside the basement can be described as follows: Break up the concrete floor in the basement: This involves using a chipping hammer to create a trench along the inside perimeter of your basement walls. The channel should be about 18 inches from the wall and deep enough to reach below the level of the footings. Pour gravel into the trench: This involves filling the bottom of the trench with a layer of gravel or crushed stone. The gravel acts as a filter and a base for the weeping tiles. Lay the weeping tiles on top of the gravel: Place perforated weeping tile pipes along the trench next to the footings. The weeping tiles should have holes or slits facing down to allow water to enter them. The weeping tiles should also slope slightly towards a sump pit or floor drain. We recommend using 4" perforated and corrugated weeping tile; however, consulting professionals is best! Cover the weeping tiles with additional gravel: This involves adding another layer of gravel or crushed stone over the weeping tiles. The gravel should cover the pipes entirely and reach about 3/4 inches below the concrete floor. Patch up the concrete floor over the trench: This involves using fresh concrete to fill the gap between the gravel and the floor. The concrete should be smoothed and leveled with a trowel or other tool. Install a sump pump: This involves connecting the weeping tiles to a sump pit that contains a sump pump. The sump pump is a device that automatically pumps out any water that collects in the pit. The sump pump helps prevent water from overflowing or backing into the basement.
