We deliver remedial leak sealing solutions to stop water intrusion in lift pits.
LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF WATER IN THIS LIFT PIT AND THE REMEDIAL WATERPROOFING RESULT IN THIS VIDEO:
The lift pit and lift shaft hold all the technology and electric mechanisms connected to the lift itself, so if water is leaking into the lift pit or the lift shaft there is a real potential of costly damage to the lift if the water ingress is not rectified in due time. In addition to potentially expensive repairs to the lift system, electrical or mechanical failures can cause abrupt stops where passengers may risk sustaining injuries.
If you notice that your lift pit and/or lift shaft is taking in water, please contact us at Waterstop Solutions. Our team of experts in leak sealing and concrete repairs will provide a cost-effective solution that will ensure that the lift pit is a dry environment, that in turn will help protect your asset from breakdowns caused by water ingress.
There are several reasons why lift pits start to leak and many people ask us why does lift pit waterproofing fail so often?
A common problem with lift pits is that groundwater leaks into the lift pit area, especially during and after heavy or prolonged rain events when the water table rises. Lots of rainy days, rising water table, saturated soil and hydrostatic pressure – All making lift pits and basements extra vulnerable to water ingress.

– Incorrectly installed or damaged waterproofing system.
– The pit is too old for any effective waterproofing system to have been originally installed.
– Floor/wall joint acts as a passageway for water ingress.
– Defects and cracks in walls and floor that have evolved over the years, sometimes caused by movement.
– Deteriorated construction components.
– Altered water table levels.

The remedial waterproofing solution
We at Waterstop Solutions can remediate your leaking lift pit and lift shaft to a dry and safe condition and help protect your asset from breakdowns caused by water ingress.ย Our leak sealing specialists leak seal inject and install waterproofing systems in lift pits that are of any age in hotels, commercial buildings, factories, multilevel apartment buildings, schools aged care facilities and hospitals.
As an example of a remedial waterproofing solution to treat the water intrusion in a lift pit, our leak sealing specialist injects a high-quality water-reactive hydrophilic polyurethane resin under high pressure to joints and leaking cracks (where applicable).*
The benefit of this system is that it provides a flexible seal to the full depth of the treated joints and cracks. The injection system creates a 3D waterproof seal inside the concrete and masonry structures. This procedure fault finds and treats unidentified at-risk adjacent areas, offers additional protection to any steel reinforcing in the path of the crack and slows the corrosion to any possible compromised reinforcing steel or yet to be.
Once the leak sealing injections are completed, the injection ports are removed, and the holes and cracks are plugged with rapid-setting repair mortar followed by a thorough surface preparation of the surfaces before installing a reverse side waterproofing system (where applicable).*
* Different sites often have different situations regarding water ingress. Our process is to fully assess each site before we recommend a specific solution. We conduct preliminary on-site inspections involving diagnosing the problem(s), assessing possible complications and designing solutions for the specific site.
Is your building ready to cope with the next big storm?
Get ahead on your maintenance and remedial repair work plans to help ensure that your buildingโs minor problems are fixed today so that they do not become major problems tomorrow.
