Puddled Basement
This much water appeared in the basement every time it rained somewhat heavily. The homeowner grew tired of having to wipe their basement down every time it rained!
Basement Waterproofing Preparation
Our technicians must first prep the area for the installation of the drainage system and the sump pump system by installing trenches all around the perimeter and digging a sump pit. After the trenches are dug, we then drill weeping holes in the trenches to the outside, which will invite outside water to the drainage system under the floor. All the buckets you see is all the broken up concrete we have to carry into out truck. During this process we make sure everything in the basement is covered in tarp and any vents are sealed to prevent dust from traveling into the upper levels of the home.
Waterproofed Basement
After the trenches are dug and the walls are installed, we then fit the trenches with our subfloor drainage system.
BrightWall Controls Vapor
BrightWall stops water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drains any leaks down to the WaterGuard. After we do some concrete finishing, the drainage system is concealed.
WaterGuard Installed Along Basement Perimeter
The WaterGuard system intercepts water at the perimeter of your basement and drains it away. WaterGuard, along with other waterproofing products, will keep your basement clean and dry.
Sump Pump, Dehumidifier, and Battery Backup System
The SuperSump is one of the most reliable pumping systems available. Its airtight lid makes it possible to stack items on top so you don't lose storage space. If you rely on a sump pump to keep your basement dry, we recommend a battery back-up pump for power outages, primary pump failures, circuit breakers tripping, or an unplugged pump. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is not only high-performing, but is highly energy-efficient, and will do its job without wasting electricity.
