Basement Waterproofing Solution in Bear, DE

Challenge

A homeowner in Bear, Delaware reached out to us after dealing with persistent moisture and puddling in their unfinished basement. Despite having a sump pump in place, water continued to seep in after rainstorms, creating a damp environment unsuitable for storage and potentially damaging to the structure. The existing system wasn’t adequately managing the water, and concerns about mold, mildew, and long-term damage were growing.

Solution

Our team promptly responded, scheduling a detailed inspection with one of our System Design Specialists. After a thorough assessment, we developed a custom waterproofing plan designed to permanently resolve the homeowner’s concerns. We began by installing our WaterGuard drainage system beneath the basement floor to collect and redirect water efficiently. This was paired with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, featuring a three-pump system for ultimate reliability, even during power outages or heavy water intrusion.

To further improve the air quality and prevent future moisture buildup, we installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which offers high-performance humidity control. Finally, we encapsulated the space using CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier that seals out moisture while brightening the basement's appearance.
