Brick Basement
Water seepage may occur between the bricks below grade so the walls were painted one year ago. The discolorations about where the yard is shows this moisture getting through the foundation and behind the paint causing the color change.
Top Row
A layer of our CleanSPACE™ is used for the vertical vapor barrier for the brick walls. A row is installed across the top half of the foundation walls first.
2nd Row
Then a second row is installed across the bottom half of the basement walls over-laying the top layer. Both rows are mechanically fastened tot he brick foundation.
Floor Waterproofing
The vertical wall vapor barrier is installed behind the piping for the floor waterproofing system. All the ground water seepage is drained to the sump pump and the whole basement remains dry and ready to be remodeled.
Sump Pumps
Our TripleSAFE™ sump pump system has 3 sump pumps. The two primary pumps run to get the water out from around the basement as fast as possible and the 3rd battery back-up sump pump keeps the basement dry during power outages.
Two Sump Pump Discharge Lines
Each of the two primary sump pumps have their own discharge lines going to the outside.
