This basement had been finished years prior, and due to local construction, the foundation shifted and moisture began to enter. The drywall had mold growing, and the floor would have pooling water after the rains. To fix this, we had to demo the space, add in a WaterGuard drainage system, TripleSafe sump pump, ThermalDry radiant wall barrier, and then our finishing crew came back in to refinish the space.
This home had a waterproof paint that was painted on, and the space was than finished. These types of paints can last a short while, but building water pressure behind it will eventually make the paint bubble and crack, allowing water though. The homeowner discovered this when they had their drywall become mushy in spots. They had the drywall removed where it was against the foundation. They would need a solution before refinishing in these places. They called up John's Waterproofing and we did a full interior perimeter drain system, with leech lines, a TripleSafe sump pump, ThermalDry radiant barrier, and a SaniDry dehumidifier.
A trench was dug in this basement to direct the water to the pump.
When you pair brightwall with our waterproofing system you get a nice dry looking basement!
This customer called because they had water coming into their finished basement. They wanted an inspector to come out and find where the water is coming from and to fix it.
Our inspector Eric went out and found the water had been leaking from the basement window. Water was coming from outside to the window and leaking down the wall to the basement floor. We installed our patented WaterGuard system along the perimeter of the basement floor. To fix the window leaking we installed a window well drain that goes under the window and drains the water to the unseen WaterGuard system. To which drains the water to the Super sump that pumps the water out and away from the house.
This homeowner can now enjoy his finished basement knowing that water isn't leaking into his basement for years to come.
