Why Elevator Pit Waterproofing Is Critical for Your Commercial Building

In most states that we service, the state elevator inspectors require that wet elevator pits remain dry. If water in the elevator pit is detected, inspectors can shut it down and mandate that the elevator pit be waterproofed. Since these pits are below the basement level, they are prone to hydrostatic water pressure and the risk of water intrusion. A common area for leakage is where the cement floor meets the elevator pit wall, allowing water intrusion through cracks or voids in the structural concrete. Water frequently enters around the elevator piston collar that extends deep into the ground, often requiring a water stop system to prevent ongoing penetration.

For new elevator pits, we work closely with engineers and architects to develop cost-effective elevator waterproofing solutions that provide long-term protection. Our reliable waterproofing strategy includes identifying defects, applying proper construction methods, and ensuring code compliance for commercial buildings.

Our company uses multiple methods for elevator pit waterproofing, including injections of closed-cell polymer resins to crystallized quartz-based materials.

Common Causes of Waterproof Failures in Elevator Pits

Waterproofing failures in elevator pits often stem from poor workmanship, unsuitable materials, or skipped preparation steps. Many occur when non-specialist contractors take on work best left to experienced elevator pit waterproofing companies.

Weak points in the structure, such as construction joints or floor-to-wall transitions, are often overlooked. In some cases, elevator waterproofing fails because sealants break down under constant pressure or movement.

Reliable lift pit waterproofing depends on choosing the right products and applying them correctly. Without this, waterproofing for elevator pits is unlikely to hold up under real-world conditions.
