Damp Basement Conditions
Cracks in the foundation walls combined with a lack of proper drainage support were the primary causes of this homeowner's damp basement. Water was entering through structural gaps with no reliable system in place to redirect it, leading to consistent moisture buildup and a musty environment.
Weep Holes
To relieve built-up hydrostatic pressure and allow wall seepage to flow into the drainage system, our crew drilled weep holes along the base of the foundation walls before installing WaterGuard.
WaterGuard Drainage System
Once the weep holes were in place, we installed our WaterGuard Drainage System along the interior perimeter, positioned just above the footing, and sealed it with fresh concrete to create a clean, efficient channel for capturing and redirecting groundwater.
Installing Drainage Matting
Our crew carefully laid Drainage Matting along the basement perimeter, creating a raised, dimpled surface that allows water to flow easily, helping to avoid pooling.
Drainage Matting
Drainage matting was installed to enhance water flow beneath the BrightWall System, ensuring any moisture entering through the floor or walls is efficiently directed to the perimeter drainage and sump pump.
During SuperSump Install
The crew installed our SuperSump Premier Sump Pump in a carefully excavated pit, securely connecting it to the drainage system for efficient collection and discharge of groundwater.
SuperSump Premier
The SuperSump was added to provide reliable water removal during moderate to heavy seepage, helping keep the basement dry and preventing moisture-related damage.
BrightWall Install
Our BrightWall Panels were installed by securely fastening them to the foundation walls, ensuring a tight fit that directs any wall seepage down into the drainage system.
BrightWall Panels
BrightWall Panels were added to create a clean, bright, and waterproof barrier that not only improves basement appearance but also helps control moisture by channeling water away from the foundation and walls.
Dry And Protected
Thanks to the installation of these advanced waterproofing systems, the basement has been completely transformed into a dry, stable, and secure environment. Groundwater intrusion is now effectively managed, humidity is controlled, and the foundation is safeguarded, providing long-term protection for the homeowner.
