When we first arrived at the Owings Mills building, the basement walls were bare, and water was finding its way inside. Recognizing the risks this posed to a soon-to-be-finished space, we installed a tailored waterproofing system. Our work included setting up the WaterGuard perimeter drain, paired with a SuperSump system that effectively channels water out. To handle winter challenges, we added the IceGuard, which allows discharge even if the exterior lines freeze. Finally, we installed the CleanSpace wall liner, providing a protective barrier that will keep moisture out. Today, the basement stands transformed—ready for finishing without the worry of future water intrusion.
Customer was receiving water in through the front portion of the basement when it rained. We added a clean space vapor barrier to a small portion of the wall, installed a super sump and waterguard to control the water issue.
In this Gwynn Oak, MD basement, the foundation was starting to settle and needed a system to prevent further sagging. Our team went out to the property to install our SmartJack Stabilizer System that are high capacity steel piers that are designed to stop the settling and can potentially raise the upper level back to original level. We replaced the center beam and temporary supports with our SmartJacks that will permanently fix sagging problem which can adjust future settling.
This Baltimore County resident asked us to come out to another property of his for basement waterproofing. Leaving that property behind and purchasing another in the same county, it unfortunately had the same issue, when it would rain, water would enter in through the block foundation walls. Liking the waterproofing system that was installed at his other property, he reached back out to us for help.
We fully waterproofed this basement with the help of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, Waterguard, SuperSump Pump and IceGuard. Our CleanSpace is placed from floor to ceiling on the foundation walls and it is tied directly into the Waterguard perimeter drain. Any water that may think it is getting into this basement to cause issues, will be met by this barrier and it will be directed straight down to the Waterguard. Once water enters the Waterguard it will then travel over to the SuperSump Pump. SuperSump then takes that water and pumps it outside via the discharge line. As added protection for the basement, we installed our IceGuard on the exterior of the foundation, where the discharge line is. Thanks to the design of our Iceguard, it will stop any water from backing into the basement if and when the discharge line freezes in those cold winter months.
At this property there was high moisture in the basement which was giving off the musty odor and when walking down into the lower level you'd get hit with the mugginess. The owners reached out to our company for a system that will eliminate the problems that they are experiencing. We installed our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier that is designed to remove the muggy feeling, high humidity and even can relieve asthma.We attached the system to the sump system that will drain right into it and connected an UltraSump Battery that will keep the system on incase of a power outage or trip circuit.
