Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofed and Wall Stabilized in Elma, NY
Donna was struggling with the condition of her basement. She had one wall that was bowed and cracked, allowing water to leak into the basement. So before the problems could worsen, she had Frank's Basement Systems come to her home and help. To tackle the water issue, we installed a complete waterproofing system that included WaterGuard, BrightWall, upgrading the sump pump to a SuperSump Premier system, and adding a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Then, to address the issue of the bowing wall, several I-beams were installed to stabilize it. After the work was complete, Donna not only had a clean, dry basement but also better support for her home's foundation.
Bowing Wall With Cracks
One wall in this basement began to bow outward from pressure. As the wall bowed out, cracks began to form, and water started to leak through them and into the basement.
Upgraded Sump Pump
To ensure this basement stays dry, a SuperSump Premier System was installed. It's a reliable, long-lasting pump that even has a WaterWatch Alarm that will sound if the water level rises above the sump pump intake.
SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier Added
This small but powerful dehumidifier was installed as well to help eliminate the muggy feeling that was present. Plus, it is able to drain right into the sump pump, meaning the homeowner doesn't need to take any trips down to the basement to empty a tray!
