Movement of Basement Walls
After repeated exposure to water damage, Team Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system to prevent more structural damage from accumulating.
Cracks
The cracks and movement in the walls allow an accessible entrance for water leaks. Water is very powerful, as opposed to popular belief. Over time water can weaken and breakdown the structure of a home's foundation.
Outdated Sump Pump
The home's current sump pump was outdated and unable to handle the demand of water that would leak in. To replace this outdated pump, a TripleSafe sump pump would serve as a dependable pump that will pump out water leaks even if the power goes out.
Water Damage on Walls
Here is an example of water damage that was found on the walls and floor. This water damage created a musty smell and threatened the safety of the structure.
Cracks Outside
The inside of the home wasn't the only area affected by water damage; the outside was too. Another product that would soon be installed to prevent water damage is a WaterGuard drainage system. This system will collect the water leaks before they are able to make their way inside.
