Draining the basement: 1 year later - injection method, pump shaft & drainage tested

In this video, I show you the results after a year of draining my basement. I successfully pushed the water out of my basement using injection solution, drainage, infrared and a pump sump. But which method proved to be the most effective?

The basement on the north-west side of our house has been extensively drained in recent years. First, I installed a drainage system and a dimpled membrane from the outside. Two years ago, I started to treat the inside of the cellar as well. In addition to many smaller measures, I treated the walls with a special injection solution and installed a soakaway with a pump sump.

Now it's time to draw a conclusion and show you which measures worked best to dry out our 19th century house.
