How Can a Bentonite Injection Help My Leaky Basement?

Most companies that advertise basement waterproofing, offer only one service - an expensive and invasive process that involves digging a trench around your home or tearing up large portions of your basement floor to install a drain tile system and sump. Often, this aggressive procedure is unnecessary. which is why at Northern Waterproofing LLC, drain tile systems are always our last resort. We start by determining if noninvasive sodium bentonite soil injections are suitable for you. Bentonite injections form a barrier to stop groundwater before it even enters your basement.

Bentonite is a completely natural, environmentally safe compound formed from the weathering of volcanic ash. In technical terms, it is a super absorbent aluminum phyllosilicate clay consisting primarily of montmorillonite. The type of bentonite clay used for the waterproofing of below-grade walls contains the dominant element sodium. Sodium bentonite, when injected along a building’s foundation, follows the path of groundwater to problem areas along the wall. When wet, it expands and absorbs several times its dry mass in water forming a self-sealing, impermeable barrier.

n most cases, a single injection is enough to completely seal your foundation, but in the event that your basement continues to leak, we will come back for additional treatments at no additional charge for as long as it takes to solve your problem
