Before WaterGuard Install
Water in a basement can make it difficult to trust having storage down there. WaterGuard and the TwinPack sump pump will keep this area dry.
Wall Before WaterGuard
Here you can see the water stains on the floor and wall that show water has been in the basement.
Corner by Stairs Before Install
Windows that are not properly sealed can cause a lot of problems in a basement. It is important to look at windows when developing a waterproofing plan.
WaterGuard Before Concrete Repour
Our WaterGuard goes under the surface of the floor. This means we must dig up some of the area. We then place rocks and the WaterGuard System before pouring new concrete.
WaterGuard Under Wall
Interior dry wall can experience a lot of damage from water, especially if it collects around the bottom. The water makes the organic material of the dry wall even more susceptible to mold growth. Proper drainage around the bottom of the wall sometimes includes removing the drywall in areas. In this case we were able to remove the dry wall and install WaterGuard under the wall. This will drain any water and stop future problems.
Paint Damage From Water
Since basement walls are porous water can get in. When the walls are painted the water comes through and can cause the paint to bubble and peel. Even if the paint is considered a sealant or waterproofing, if the paint breaks it will not continue to work. This makes them a short term solution.
TwinPack Sump Pump
The TwinPack sump pump is a dual pump system. The two pumps are offset, the primary pump runs as needed, the secondary pump will kick on when the water level reaches a higher level than the primary pump can handle. The pump is also air tight so the water cannot evaporate back into the environment.
