Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a Basement in Brownstown, IL
Homeowners James and Carolyn W. had issues with water leaking in their basement.
To fix the issue, Ben S. and his crew installed several water-proofing measures.
The walls of the basement were incapsulated with the durable and water proof CleanSpace™ system to direct any water seepage out of the basement and into the drainage system.
Noticing that there was a small path where water leaked in from the floor and drained toward the sump pump, Ben S. dug a small channel under the basement floor and installed a tube to allow water to flow from the area where it built up to the sump pump. They then replaced the concrete floor so that there is a smooth, uninterrupted floor with no water running over it.
A new TripleSafe sump pump was installed to keep the basement dry and protected. With it's two pumps and a battery powered third backup pump, the TripleSafe will pump water away even if the power goes out.
James and Carolyn W. are happy with their dry and protected basement.
