A lift pit is the lowest section of an elevator shaft, sitting below ground level. It is essential for ensuring the proper operation of your elevator system, but it is also prone to moisture buildup. Without proper lift pit waterproofing, the pit can accumulate water, leading to corrosion, mould growth, and potentially severe structural damage to the elevator mechanism.
How does water get into an elevator pit?
There are several ways water can infiltrate a lift pit. This includes groundwater seeping through cracks, condensation from changes in temperature, or faulty drainage systems in the surrounding area. If not addressed, water in lift pits can cause significant issues, such as electrical malfunctions or rusting of critical elevator components.
How do you waterproof a lift pit?
Effective waterproofing lift pits involves using specialised techniques to seal any entry points for water. This may include applying high-quality waterproofing membranes, redirecting water with drainage systems, and filling any cracks that may allow water to seep in. At S&S Remedial, we employ the best practices in lift pit waterproofing to ensure your elevator operates smoothly and is protected against long-term water damage.
