Protecting Commercial Infrastructure in Baltimore City: Elevator Pit Waterproofing

An elevator shutdown is more than an inconvenience; it disrupts operations, impacts tenants, and can quickly lead to expensive repairs if moisture continues to spread.

In this case, the property manager was facing:

• Active water infiltration at the base of the elevator pit
  
• Standing moisture threatens electrical components
  
• Unsafe operating conditions leading to a city-mandated shutdown
  
• The need for durable waterproofing to prevent ongoing issues
  
  

They needed a contractor experienced in commercial restoration, waterproofing, and concrete work, a team that could move quickly, communicate clearly, and deliver a long-term solution.

That’s where Detailz stepped in.

Our team implemented a comprehensive waterproofing system specifically designed for elevator pits, combining drainage control, protective barriers, and structural concrete placement.

Here’s how we restored the pit:

• Installed a new dimple board around the full perimeter of the pit to create a protective drainage plane
  
• Tied the new barrier system directly into the existing sump pit for effective water management and long-term moisture control
  
• Installed a new concrete slab, providing a clean, durable, moisture-resistant base
  
• Coordinated efficiently with property management to minimize downtime and ensure safe reactivation of the elevator
  
• Delivered consistent updates throughout the week-long restoration process
  
  

The entire project was completed in 5 days, and the pit was brought back to a safe, stable, and watertight condition.

• Commercial elevator pit waterproofing
  
• Dimple board installation for moisture control
  
• Integration with sump system
  
• New concrete slab construction
  
• Commercial-grade sealing and protection
  
• Efficient project management and communication
  

Property managers rely on contractors who deliver results without disruptions, delays, or surprises. They appreciated:
