Leaks Entering Through Wall
This basement contained one wall that experienced several water leaks. This corner was the only unfinished section of the basement because the water leaks stopped the homeowner from finishing it. The homeowner wanted to protect this space along with the investment she had made to finish the basement by waterproofing the troubled area.
Water Leaks Blocked by CleanSpace
To waterproof this space, a CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed on the leaky walls. CleanSpace is water-resistant, which means that mold will not develop and water will not damage the vapor barrier. The purpose of this barrier system is to block out rain and send it to the drainage system.
Drainage System
The new drainage system that works alongside the CleanSpace vapor barrier is called WaterGuard. WaterGuard drains are installed in the footing of the wall to collect all water that leaks inside and sends it to the sump pump to be pumped out of the basement.
Dynamic Duo
Together CleanSpace and WaterGuard will protect the leaky area of the basement. This homeowner now has peace of mind that she deserves knowing that her entire basement is safe from mold and water damage.
