Before

Where it started

Exposed block walls, steel support posts, ductwork and pipes overhead, and a stained concrete floor with cables across it. The furnace and a white utility cabinet are on the far wall. Nothing about the space is finished.

After

How it was left

The same posts, ducts and utilities, now against white-lined walls with a smooth, sealed floor running the length of the room. The stairs and the far wall are recognizably the same; the floor and walls are not.

The work

How a job like this goes

The perimeter of the floor is opened, drain tile is set at the footing in gravel and run to a sealed sump, the walls are covered with a liner that directs any water into the drain, and the channel is closed with new concrete. The floor is then sealed.

  • Interior perimeter drainage
  • Wall liner over the block
  • Sealed sump and discharge
  • Floor closed and sealed
