Bare concrete basement walls can be very porous and hold moisture from groundwater. After adding waterproof walls, a french drain was added to guide water to a nearby sump pump.
After noticing how much water can damage a basement, this homeowner wanted to prevent a problem before it starts. The basement has always been clean and dry, and they wanted to keep it that way forever. DryZone encapsulated the walls and added a sump pump connected to a trench drain system to keep water intrusion from damaging the basement.
The homeowner noticed a crack under their steps as well as water coming from around the pipe chase right below their crawlspace. Their crawlspace also is not encapsulated, so we will be adding CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep the area clean, dry and healthy.
FlexiSpan will fill and seal the crack to make sure no more water will come through in both areas. As for the crawlspace, we pulled out all of the old insulation so that we could properly encapsulate the area.
This homeowner is a previous customer of ours. We had originally gone out and installed WaterGuard within their basement, but after further inspection it needed to be redone. They are planning to finish their basement and before they start that project, they want to be 100% certain that the water issues are fixed and will not return.
What makes this job a little trickier than others are that the builder of the home made the basement too deep for their location. The homeowners know that because of this, water will always get into the basement but want to have a system in place to ensure it does not damage.
To be certain there would be no further issues, we re-did the WaterGuard, added a TripleSafe Sump Pump and ran a discharge line out and away from the home.
There was nothing nice about this crawlspace until DryZone arrived! With our CleanSpace encapsulation, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and sump pump, this crawlspace is like new! Not only does it look great, but the crawlspace is controlled to ensure that mold, moisture and rot will never be under this homeowner's home!
