Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Moldy Basement Problems

Richard H.'s basement in Belle Rive, IL had a mold problem caused by water leaking into the basement from cracks in the walls and around the windows. The water would seep in through these cracks and fuel the mold growth around his basement while filling his basement air with damp and smelly air.   To combat the problem, Cory S. needed to make sure there was a way for water getting in the home to be pumped back out. The answer was the TripleSafe™ sump pump, which features three seperate pumps that can pump water out the home and help keep the basement dry.    But the TripleSafe™ sump pump only removes water inside the basement and doesn't stop water from entering through the cracks.  To stop the water at its source, Cory used a waterproofed and mold-resistant wall paneling made of inorganic materials that won't get damaged by water. This wall will aslo funnel the water behind it down into the drainage system and to the TripleSafe™ sump pump.   The final step to combat the moldy basement was installing a Sedona™ air dehumidifier. This dehumidifier can dry an entire basement while using the same amount of power as a dehumidifier half its size! It will also filter the air, removing mold spores and helping combat that dank basement smell.   With a TripleSafe™ sump pump, mold-resistant and waterproof walls and a Sedon™ dehumidifier, Richard H. is on his way to a comfortable basement.
