Stabilizing and Waterproofing a Basement in Hamel, IL

Water was coming down a basement wall in Hamel, IL, as well as entering through the window. Also, a large crack was forming on the wall and causing more problems. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the WaterGuard System, which was installed next. This perimeter drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes.

Additionally, a WellDuct Window Well Drain was installed. This channel is placed on the inside of the basement below the window that will carry water from a leaking window to the WaterGuard System. Lastly, the PowerBrace System was installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to provide strong support to the joints and protect the floor system's durability. Thanks to these systems, this basement will now remain dry and stable all the time!
