elevator pit
repair & waterproofing
about us
Since 2015, Joint Seal Waterproofing has been providing elevator pit waterproofing in Toronto, the GTA and the surrounding areas. Our waterproofing applications are designed to withstand the harsh elevator shaft environment, and protect surfaces against oils and chemicals, ensuring long-lasting results.
We specialize in concrete shaft repair, restoration, and crack injection. High-strength concrete adhesives allow us to perform all concrete repairs from inside the shaft, ensuring long-lasting results.
The Latest Tech
IN MEMBRANE APPLICATIONS
We use top-of-the line equipment and specialized materials, to offer you the best solution in protecting expensive, sensitive elevator equipment.
We make quick and durable applications possible, which is essential in reducing the total cost of pit waterproofing - closing off an elevator shaft during repairs carries a high price tag.
Annual Maintenance
Pit cleaning is included in our regular maintenance routine.
Repairs & Waterpfoofing
Shaft cleaning is done in support of repairs.
Sump Pump Performance
Pit cleaning improves the efficiency of sump pumps.
Elevator Pit
CLEANING
Part of maintenance or repairs
Elevator equipment and sump pumps can work efficiently.
Cleaning can reveal the true condition of the shaft.
Hidden issues
Concrete deterioration is made evident.
Large cracks can be detected.
Flooding levels and the extent of damage can be determined.
EARLY
WARNING SIGNS
Saturated surfaces and rusted elevator equipment warn about an imminent problem.
The elevator shaft can start leaking at any time, leading to elevator equipment damage and eventual shutdown.
Damp Walls
The darker wall surface at the bottom of the pit can indicate previous flooding that reached that level and/or wall deterioration due to water saturation.
Calcium Deposits
Caused by a significant flow of water seeping from the outside through larger wall cracks. Elevator equipment will be damaged if no repairs are done.
Rusted Metal
Indicates flood level, possible wall saturation, and damage to elevator equipment. The shaft can start leaking at any time, causing further damage.
Waterproofing
Thermographers
Our highly-trained professionals will provide the true diagnosis upon inspection.
Interpreting an
Infrared Scan
Infrared imaging and temperature readings indicate the exact level of water saturation.
Cost-Efficient
Applications
Repair type will be determined based on crack size and general pit condition.
Determining
THE BEST SOLUTION
ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
Once an infrared scan is done, precise solutions can be engineered to ensure efficient repair and waterproofing.
OPTIMAL REPAIR METHODS
One of the following repair methods is applied when a pit needs waterproofing:
Floor/wall corner
Efficiently waterproofed with a triplex application.
Piston housing waterproofing
Waterproofed through liquid rubber injection.
Crack repair on wall and/or floor surfaces
Crack repair helps in preventing elevator shaft flooding.
Block wall waterproofing
Includes drainage system installation and rubber fiberglass membrane.
​A PRECISE DIAGNOSIS
An infrared camera makes any leakage evident.
The darker the colour and the lower the temperature, the greater the water saturation problem.
Precise solutions can be engineered to ensure efficient repair and waterproofing.

WATERPROOFING
FROM THE INSIDE
Our specialized materials and methods enable us to do repairs from the negative side.
BENEFITS
Thin patch applications
Less concrete demolition
Spalling and cracks removed
Restored load-carrying capacity
MONOLITHIC ADHESION
Polyforce’s 1.8 Mpa adhesion surpasses concrete’s tensile strength of 1.2 Mpa, rendering the patch monolithic.
REPAIR
METHODS
FLOOR/WALL CORNER WATERROOFING
Repair procedure:
1. Adhesive layer is applied.
2. Patching is done with regular or polymer cement.
3. Fiberglass layer is installed.
4. Basalt coating is applied.
