Ruined Basement Walls
Water had started seeping in, ruining and eroding parts of Mollie's basement walls. The walls in other parts of the basement were slowly deteriorating, leaving Mollie worried that the finished side of her basement would be ruined by water damage.
Rough Cutting The Finished Walls
Instead of tearing out and rebuilding the damaged walls on the finished side of the basement, they were rough-cut. This allows us to remove the ruined areas and create space for the crew to install the waterproofing project.
FlowGuard Installed
Sometimes the concrete floor, like in Molly's basement, is too thin to install a drain on top of the footer. That's when we will use the FlowGuard drainage system, which sits in front of the footing in a bed of drainage stone and is designed to collect water from the basement walls via a wall flange.
TrenchDrain To Capture Water
To protect against leakage from the doorway, a trench drain was installed in front of it. The grate will be flush with the floor to catch any water that could come in from the outside and will easily integrate with the waterproofing system already being installed in Molly's basement.
SuperSump To Push Out Water
To handle the amount of water needed to pump out and keep Molly's basement nice and dry, the SuperSump Plus was installed. It includes a Zoeller cast-iron pump capable of pumping 2,220 gallons per hour at an 8-foot head, and it also features our TripleSafe liner.
EverLast Walls To Finish Basement
To replace the rough-cut areas of the walls, the EverLast Wall Restoration System was installed. This allows us to replace only the lower section of the wall with more durable materials, helping create a finished, seamless look!
