Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing and Foundation Repair in Philadelphia, PA
In Philadelphia, PA, we were recently approached by a homeowner facing significant moisture issues in their basement. The water intrusion was primarily occurring through the wall and floor in a back corner, resulting not only in constant dampness but also contributing to sagging in the structure above. Recognizing these challenges, our team devised a comprehensive solution using our WaterGuard drainage system, the reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our SmartJack system to ensure structural stability. The installation process began with the WaterGuard sub-floor perimeter drainage system, discreetly placed beneath the basement floor and above the footing to capture wall and floor seepage. This system channels water directly to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, which offers triple-layer protection against potential pump failures and ensures reliable drainage, even during power outages, thanks to its UltraSump battery backup. To address the sagging problem, we utilized our SmartJack system, strategically installing it to stabilize the affected beams and floor joists. The heavy-duty steel columns provided immediate structural support while allowing for future adjustments if needed.
