The Causes Of Iron Ochre

Iron ochre is typically caused by water seepage through the foundation, carrying iron-rich minerals from the surrounding soil. When water interacts with oxygen, it creates rust-like deposits that accumulate on walls and floors. This not only causes staining and unpleasant odors but can also lead to clogged drainage systems. Proper waterproofing solutions are essential to prevent iron ochre buildup and protect your basement.

What Causes Basement Mold Growth?

Mold growth in a basement is primarily caused by excess moisture and poor ventilation. High humidity, water seepage, or flooding create the perfect conditions for mold spores to thrive on organic materials like wood and drywall. Without proper moisture control and ventilation, mold can spread rapidly, damaging your home and affecting air quality.

Installing WaterGuard

Installing our WaterGuard French Drainage System begins with digging a trench along the perimeter of your basement floor. Once the trench is prepared, a special WaterGuard drainage channel is laid down, designed to capture water and direct it to the sump pump. Our crew carefully covers the system with gravel and a concrete layer to ensure efficient water flow and prevent clogging. Finally, the system is connected to a sump pump to pump water out of the basement, keeping your home dry and protected from water damage.
