Anyone have a referal for a foundation water proofer in the SFV or Ventura area?

Can't seem to find it, but there was a thread on a parking structure leaking in the beach area, and some of the responses, were from members that did that sort of work.

@Joker might be able to or have a lead.

I am at a job now fixing a water issue. Digging down adding retaining wall and waterproofing. 180' of drains. Damn Pacific polymers went from $100 a tub to $280. About $43K to fix this one.

Small foundation job.
My regular guy is three weeks to a month out.

@Joker I believe only focuses on repairs now. He should have a referral though.

I could have fixed it without the dig

I’d give ABC Construction Supply a call and ask them for a referral. They e got a west LA office and Anaheim. They’ll know someone

The exterior dirt was 18" above the interior slab level. Stucco deteriorated and had holes through it. Dug down below footing for French drain as it backed up to a hillside. Lasted 30+ years surprisingly. Tenants never said anything. Owner noticed it when they moved out. I don't think they used the back room.

I never understand why people build planters against the house and assume the stucco will hold back water

Sad thing it wasn't a planter. Not sure what the builder was thinking. They clearly back filled up against the stucco. Not just a few inches. Stucco is like a sponge. And the black paper was gone up 36" when drywall removed. Perfect line like a cut. Turned to dust from all the years of moisture. Stucco color coat Turned to dust as well and the stucco wire rusted through up 2' or so.

^ what's the proper way to do it (for a planter), basically approach it like it's a shower wall and panliner overlap deal and just direct the water down and back to the dirt?

 

[rmarion]

concrete or block retaining wall = dampproofing

keep water out of a structure = waterproofing

slab vs vertical

subterranean

lots of perimeters

 

[DLC]

Leave an air gap between concrete / masonry wall planter and stucco
