Leaking Basement in Evansville, IN

A homeowner from Evansville, IN, reached out to us about concerns regarding his basement. The basement consisted of water leakage, making it unsafe to use the space for storage. One of the rooms in the basement had white walls with water and dirt stains running down the walls and to the ground. In some basements, Efflorescence can appear on the walls. Efflorescence is from the minerals in the concrete, mortar, or soil that dissolve in the water and are left behind when the water evaporates off the surface of the wall or floor. It appears as white powder or crystals and is sometimes confused with mold, but it is not alive. It is only a sign that water is coming through the wall or the floor. 

The BrightWall paneling system was installed with drilled-in white fasteners to the walls of the basement. Brightwall paneling drains any water leaks down behind it to the WaterGuard system without you even knowing it. It also stops water vapor from coming through the wall and evaporating into your basement. The WaterGuard system is placed into the small trench that was made beside the bottoms of the walls to direct water that is coming from behind the BrightWall. The whole basement was transformed into a bright and beautiful space to store anything safely. 

 

Leaky Windows in Evansville, IN

A basement in Evansville, IN was having a water leak through the windows. The windows were old and rotted on the sides, which allowed water to seep into the basement, causing a mess for the homeowner to maintain. If water is finding its way inside the basement, it can cause mold to form on the edges of the window. The homeowner was ready to switch out the old and leaky window for a more protective and lasting one which will be the most energy-efficient option. 

The old window was replaced with EverLast windows. EverLast windows are double panes of energy-efficient glass that are fixed and do not open. Basement windows are not meant to be opened, but to bring in extra light from outdoors. Many homeowners want a bright and inviting basement for the comfort of their home, which is why the EverLast window is the best solution. The homeowner had protection against water leaks as well as an upgraded look to the space. 

Leaky Window in Evansville, IN

In Evansville, IN, a family needed their windows replaced due to water leakage. Upon arrival and inspection of the windows, the glass was cracked, with dirt crusted onto the frame of the window. One of the homeowners pointed out that they would love to have more natural light in the basement, but the windows were blocked with sheeting to prevent water from coming in through the cracks. Replacing the windows in the basement would not only brighten the place up but protect the space from future leaks.

The windows were replaced with the EverLast basement window. The EverLast window is energy-efficient, all-vinyl, and double-paned glass. Metal-framed windows rust, wood windows rot, and are difficult to keep painted. The EverLast windows are made with all-vinyl, so they will not fail like most windows. The homeowners were astonished by how the new EverLast windows transformed their basement into a lively space. 

New Sump Pump Location in Oakland City, IN

In Oakland City, IN, the homeowner was having a problem with their basement leaking. The problems did not start until the tornado had struck near their home, and the rain storm had also flooded about three inches. Upon inspection of the home, their old sump pump was located outside, Having a sump pump outside will not solve leaking problems since water from the outside could also flood the sump pump. Sump pumps are encouraged to be installed indoors, where the weather can does not affect them and it will successfully pump water out of the basement. 

Since the homeowners had dealt with heavy rain in the past, the past, the TripleSafe sump pump was the best choice for this case. The TripleSafe sump pump is the king of all sump pumps due to the ability to store three sump pumps in one liner. Pump one is a high-quality Zoeller pump. Pump two is set a bit higher in the sump hole, that turns on in the event the first pump would fail or can not keep up. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line. Pump three is a battery-operated UltraSump pump that kicks in if the power goes out. The homeowner was relieved to know that their new sump pump system will keep their basement dry from future storms. 

Water Leakage in the Basement in Princeton, IN

A homeowner in Princeton, IN, was having leaking issues in the cement of their basement floor. Water leakage in a basement can be a nuisance when it is preventing you from using the extra space for safe storage. The basement was lacking a proper drain around the bottom of the foundation, causing the water entering the basement to remain on the floor. In addition to water leakage, the basement had to bow walls that need to be permanently straightened.

A trench was created beside the bottoms of the walls for the WaterGuard system to go into. The WaterGuard system has a built-in 3/8-inch gap between the floor and the wall to drain the wall leaks. The next item to prevent leaking in the basement is a bright white line called CleanSpace. CleanSpace provides a vapor barrier, drains water behind it, and will brighten the living space of the basement.  A TripleSafe Sump pump was installed to pump out any water that was coming from the WaterGuard to the sump pump. To fix the bowing issues, push piers are installed alongside the walls to stabilize and straighten the foundation. The homeowner felt relieved to know that not only their basement would no longer be leaking, but the foundation would no longer be an issue.
