Challenge

This homeowner from Wilmington, DE was dealing with damp walls and the stress of heavy rain leaking into their basement and it was taking its toll on the stability of the home.

Solution

The project started with WaterGuard, a proven interior drainage solution that captures wall and floor seepage before it can spread. A SuperSump system was installed to reliably pump water away from the home, even during intense storms. To address foundation concerns, CarbonArmor wall straps were added, stabilizing the basement walls without the need for invasive excavation. The CleanSpace vapor barrier sealed everything off, creating a bright, dry, and clean environment. Now, the homeowner enjoys a basement that’s protected, structurally sound, and ready for storage and everyday use, no more worrying every time it rains.

CleanSpace transforms the basement into a clean, dry space by sealing out moisture, odors, and humidity with a durable vapor barrier. It creates a brighter, healthier environment while protecting the home from long-term moisture damage.

The SuperSump provides reliable, high-capacity pumping to safely move water away from the home. With built-in alarms and backup options, it offers peace of mind during storms and power outages.

WaterGuard is an interior drainage system designed to capture water at the wall and floor joint before it reaches the basement. It discreetly directs water to the sump system, keeping floors dry even during heavy rain.

CarbonArmor wall straps stabilize and reinforce foundation walls using high-strength carbon fiber. This non-invasive solution prevents further wall movement without the need for excavation, helping protect the home's structural integrity.
