Water Damage
There was water damage around the perimeter of the basement, which is most likely caused by the concrete walls and floors continually absorbing moisture from the soil and releasing it into the air in the basement. Over time, it began to damage parts of the walls and floor.
Unfinished Beams
Another key area of the basement that the Team needed to address was the several beams installed with unfinished flooring around them. This is another area where moisture can enter the basement. When too much moisture enters a basement, it can create a damp environment that, over time, will impact the air quality and the overall comfort of the entire home.
New Sump Pump Installed
To help with the new draining system that will be installed, the Team first installed a SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System. When a perimeter drainage system is installed, the sump pump will be your main defense against a basement flood. Its main job is to pump water away from the foundation, leaving you with a dry basement!
Our Most Popular Drainage System
To help guide that water coming from the walls, we installed a WaterGuard® Drainage System. This system is designed to capture water leaks along the wall and floor joints. Water enters via inlet holes and flows down through the system to the sump pump.
Concrete Finishing
The final steps to seal in the WaterGuard so that it doesn't shift is to apply a thin layer of concrete. This also helps level out the floor and ensure everything is flush with the wall and floor. Plus, sealing it in the drain system will only collect water from the walls and not be clogged by debris and dirt.
Filling In The Post Area
As the team sealed the drainage system, they also used it to fill in the open areas around the basement beams. This helped give the basement a clean and finished look!
