Water leaks plagued this basement. The before photo demonstrates how our waterproofing looks during installation and makes it easy to visualize how water will flow into the sump pump. Once it’s finished the floor is flush and ready to stay dry.
Years of water seepage had damaged the structure of these block walls and started to form cracks. We stabilized them by installing carbon fiber strips along the wall and holding it tight.
The water seepage in this basement posed a unique problem because of its finished walls. In a few places we had to strip sheetrock back to install the interior drainage. The room housing the water filter and other utilities was particularly prone to high humidity and made it a perfect place to install the sump pump and SaniDry dehumidifier.
A previously installed waterproofing system in this home's basement had become obsolete. During big storms with power outages, the system would occasionally fail, so we installed our TripleSafe sump pump with a battery backup and a vapor barrier to ensure that water is dealt with no matter what.
Excess efflorescence and water seepage was coming through this basement in Lewisville. We waterproofed the interior of the basement to keep water where it belongs, outside.
