Improper Drainage Conditions
A lack of proper drainage support allowed water to accumulate around this homeowners foundation, increasing the likelihood of seepage into the basement. Without an effective drainage system, water from rain or groundwater can exert pressure on the walls and floors, forcing its way inside. Over time, this constant moisture exposure can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and a damp, unhealthy living environment.
Installing WaterGuard
Our expert crew installed the WaterGuard System by carefully digging a trench around the perimeter of the basement, ensuring minimal disruption to the space. The system is placed along the foundation's footing, where it can effectively capture any water seeping through the walls or floor. WaterGuard's unique design allows it to sit above the foundation footing, preventing clogging from dirt or silt, while directing water into a sump pump for removal.
During SuperSump Install
Next our crew installed the SuperSump Premier Sump Pump by first digging a hole in the lowest point of the basement to create a sump pit. The pump is then securely placed into the pit, where it is connected to the WaterGuard Drainage System to collect water efficiently. The SuperSump is equipped with a high-quality pump and a battery backup, ensuring reliable performance even during power outages.
EverLast Basement Wall Panels
Lastly we installed our EverLast Wall Panels by first preparing the basement walls, ensuring they were clean, dry, and free from any existing moisture. The panels are then securely attached to the walls using a specialized adhesive and fasteners, creating a waterproof barrier. Made from durable, inorganic materials, EverLast Wall Panels are designed to resist mold growth and moisture damage. Once installed, the panels provide an attractive, finished look while effectively keeping the basement dry and protected.
The Importance Of Waterproofing
Waterproofing your basement is crucial for protecting your home from water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. Without proper waterproofing, moisture can seep through foundation walls, leading to a damp environment that fosters mold, mildew, and even wood rot. Waterproofing systems, like our WaterGuard Drainage System and SuperSump Sump Pump, help direct water away from your home, keeping your basement dry and healthy. This not only prevents damage but also enhances your home's value and ensures a safe, usable living space for years to come!
