Elevator Pits
When time-sensitive problems arise with standing water in elevator pits, CAP Waterproofing & Building Restoration has become the trusted go-to team, to provide solutions in a most expedient manner
Whether your business involves high-rise office towers, elite multi-storey condominiums, hospitals, upscale malls, lavish hotels or manufacturing plants, elevators are the lifeline of your buildings! Without their respective elevators functioning in the proper manner, all of your operations and countless linked businesses would suffer crippling losses.
What Happens When Elevator Pit Waterproofing Fails
When the waterproofing system fails in the elevator pit – the fixing platform for mechanical fittings – since it is below grade, the ingress of water is most detrimental in attacking the concrete. This can result in devastating problems to the elevator’s mechanical system and time is of the essence for the health and safety of all, to complete urgent repairs and restorations.
Our knowledgeable and well-seasoned team will assess the situation and identify the source of the problem:
-
Cracks in the surrounding concrete allowing water seepage
-
Tie rod points
-
Piping & Flooring
-
High water tables which result in negative pressure on concrete substrate
-
Failing or missing joints.
Based on our findings, CAP’s team will recommend one of the many different options for the prompt restoration and waterproofing of your elevator pits, as follows:
-
Crystalline Waterproofing
-
A Tubed Grid System for Concrete Block
-
Water Diversion Options
-
Raising of Elevator Floors
-
Drain/Scupper Repair or Installation

I manage several older buildings with underground garages that needed serious restoration. CAP Waterproofing and Drains has been a huge help. Cyril, Max, Marcy, and the team are knowledgeable, reliable, and easy to work with. Their restoration work is solid, their pricing is reasonable, and they keep me in the loop throughout the process. Their 24/7 service has also come in handy more than once for emergency plumbing issues. Definitely a company I’d recommend for waterproofing and structural repairs.

I recently had a subsidy job completed by Max at CAP Waterproofing and Drains, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The workers were fantastic, always punctual, showing up on time every day and ready to work. The entire process was seamless, and the team's professionalism really stood out. I highly recommend Max and his team for any waterproofing or drainage work!

We had Max in for a quote on out basement crack and after getting a few quotes from other companies decided to go with CAP. Max was very knowledgeable and professional but we chose him because he was honest and we trusted him. The guys that came to complete the work were fabulous. They communicated by text, arrived right on time, put down roll paper on the floors and covered all the stairs. They sealed off the work area and ran a filter /vacuum to capture any debris and dust. The work looks great and the basement is perfectly clean. I could not be any more pleased. Also good to know… they provide a transferable warranty.

The job done was excellent, and they made sure their work areas were fully isolated to avoid any spreading of dust. Clean up was carefully done too. Thank you for your services!
