Finished Basement
Water leaks would seep into this finished basement during heavy rains. This deeply concerned this homeowner and caused him to reach out to Woods Basement Systems.
Prevention
Several guest rooms were located in this basement, so finding a permanent waterproofing plan was a top priority.
CleanSpace Over Walls
On top of the walls, a CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed. CleanSpace is an inorganic system that prevents mold growth and blocks out outer elements like water.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
In the corner of the wet basement, a sump pump was installed to pump all water leaks back outside. The sump pump used is a TripleSafe sump pump that contains three pumps that operate year-round, making this pump one of the most dependable sump pumps on the market.
WaterGuard Drains
WaterGuard drains were installed on the perimeter and footing of the basement walls. These drains will catch the water leaks at the source and direct them towards the TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped back outside.
Protective IceGuards
The outside of the basement also had precautionary measures taken for waterproofing. IceGuards were added to the discharge lines that pump out the water leaks, and these guards will prevent the lines from clogging and freezing.
Discharge Lines Extensions
The home's discharge lines extended into the yard with a LawnScape outlet added to the end of the lines to keep the water away from the house.
