Comar Enterprises doesn't fix leaky basements, but they do bring together the people and products that can. This project was in the basement of the King County offices on Yessler Street, just blocks away from Pioneer Square in Seattle. The unique building is about 100 years old and had serious water seepage through the walls of the two basement levels. The walls had large holes in them and leaked badly in numerous locations. |

King County had blocked off the basement area due to leaks but now was in need of the space due to increased workload. The contractor was Cutter Construction, Inc., and with the help of Engineer Jeremy M. Fellows (PE with KPFF Consulting Engineers), and Waterproofing Engineer Ray Wetherholt (Wetherholt and Associates), they were able to make quality repairs. Kryton products were used to make the repairs and the rooms on both basement floors are dry now. |

In fact, a 18" waterline broke next to the building about 1 week after the project was finished and flooded the street next to the building and tore out the newly installed sidewalk. Only a couple small weep areas appeared on the walls from this unexpected "flood test" and Cutter Construction quickly repaired them. The areas that leaked were outside of the areas they had repaired using the Krystol T-1 System. |
