Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Cold and Wet Basement Insulated and Waterproofed in Overland, MO
A basement in Overland, MO was not insulated properly, and water was leaking into it. To solve these issues, the ThermalDry Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from entering the basement, drain wall leaks, and will also reflect heat back into the basement. Next, the Foamax Basement Wall Insulation System was installed. This will provide superior insulation while making the walls look bright and clean. Wall leaks will be drained down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed.
This efficient, high-capacity, dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the basement. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the TripleSafe, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry, clean, and warm for years to come!
