Eliminating Water Intrusion In Havre De Grace, MD
Challenge
What started as a few damp spots along the basement walls quickly turned into a growing concern for a homeowner in Havre De Grace, MD. With water consistently seeping into the space after each rainfall, they began to worry about the potential for mold growth, structural damage, and declining air quality in their home. Realizing the problem was only getting worse, they turned to the experts at Quality 1st Basement Systems for a lasting and reliable solution.
Solution
During our extensive inspection, we identified that the water intrusion was entering through the cove joint where the basement wall meets the floor, an all-too-common issue in older foundations. To combat this, we designed a customized waterproofing system that began with the installation of our patented WaterGuard Drainage System. This interior drainage channel collects water at the most vulnerable points and directs it toward a sump pump, keeping the basement floor clean and dry. We then installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which includes three pumps for primary, secondary, and battery backup protection, ensuring the basement stays dry no matter the weather or power conditions. To ensure the sump pump will work without any interruptions during colder months, we completed the job with the installation of our IceGuard Discharge Line. With this full waterproofing setup in place, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy, and worry-free basement, and most importantly, peace of mind that their home is protected for the long haul.
