Weather Change
A common issue we see with homeowners is that once the weather warms up, the melted snow can leak into the basement. If the basement isn't prepared, this can lead to serious water damage.
Inside the Home
Once Team Woods entered the basement, they were faced with the homeowner's storage. If water were to leak in these items would be water damaged, so it was essential to the homeowner that this space was waterproofed.
CleanSpace System
The first product that was installed was a CleanSpace encapsulation system. This vapor barrier system will block out water leaks and will prevent mold from forming on the walls.
Sealed Space
This system is unlike any other because it completely seals the basement walls from water leaks. If water were to leak inside, the system would help direct the leaks towards the drainage system.
WaterGuard Drains
Next, WaterGuard drains were installed into the floor to collect the water leaks collected. These drains will then take the collected water and move it towards the home's sump pump system.
Covered
The WaterGuard drains are then covered with a cement layer to seal the system from possible clogging. Once dried, these drains won't be noticeable and will blend into the floor.
UltraSump Pump
Finally, an UltraSump sump pump was installed to pump out the water that leaks inside. This double pumping system is dependable year around because if one pump fails, the backup pump will switch on.
