Basement Waterproofing ICF Foundation Walls | Explanation With Project Timelapse

Published 2023-06-17
Basement waterproofing ICF Foundation walls is crucial to protecting your ICF foundation basement from water intrusion and potential damage. ICF foundation walls are constructed using foam blocks or panels, then filled with concrete to create a solid and insulated wall structure. To waterproof ICF foundation walls, several steps are typically involved.

First, the exterior surface of the ICF walls is thoroughly cleaned and inspected for any damage or imperfections. These areas are repaired and sealed to ensure a watertight barrier. Next, a waterproofing membrane is applied to the exterior surface of the ICF walls. This membrane acts as a protective barrier against water penetration, directing any water away from the foundation. In addition to exterior waterproofing, an interior drainage system is often installed to manage water intrusion further. This system consists of a perforated weeping tile system installed at the base of the ICF walls, which collects water and directs it to a sump pump or drainage system, effectively preventing water buildup in the basement. Combining exterior waterproofing measures with an internal drainage system allows ICF foundation walls to be effectively protected against water damage and potential basement flooding. Properly waterproofed ICF foundation walls help maintain a dry and secure basement environment.
