Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Our client has a basement that is partially underground. This wall has been showing signs of water infiltration. It is the wall that is located below their garage and subgrade. The homeowner uses their basement for storage and as a workshop so they want the space to stay dry and clean, and not have to worry about moisture causing any mold, mildew, or musty odors in the space. 

Our team installed the Waterguard system, a track installed underneath the slab that along with the CleanSpace liner on the wall, diverts infiltrating water to the TripleSafe sump pump system with UltraSump Battery Backup. The system will keep water and moisture from entering the basement and with the battery backup, the homeowner can have peace of mind that even during storms, their home is protected. 

This homeowner in Gloucester Point was using an old sump hole to help collect any water that infiltrated their basement. Unfortunately, these sump holes are useless in collecting any water seeping through the basement foundation walls. The old pump could not handle the amount of infiltrating water, and there was nothing in place to direct the water to the sump pump. Our team was sent out to install a number of solutions to help combat water infiltration. We mechanically fastened a durable 10-mil CleanSpace Light vapor barrier over the walls to help protect the basement from water seeping through the walls. This also collects any infiltrating water and sends it down to a WaterGuard XL drainage system that we installed within a trench leading to our sump system. The sump system itself is what we call a SuperSump Plus system. It used our TripleSafe twin line basin with a single cast iron 1/3 horsepower Zoller pump. This reliable sump pump can handle 2,650 gallons per hour smoothly and quietly. It uses a mechanical float switch and will resist clogging more efficiently than the old sump. The basin contains a WaterWatch Alarm system, a battery backup pack,  and an airtight lid. Any water collected in the WaterGuard XL system will be directed straight to the SuperSump Plus, then it will be distributed out of the home via hose line to a determined location away from the home's foundation. The homeowners can feel at ease knowing that this sump pump system will help to keep their basement dry and clean for years to come.

This basement had an existing sump pump that wasn't keeping it dry. The pump and basin sat in an open pit of water, that would back up into the basement. To help alleviate this, we installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. We cleaned the pit out and filled it with stone to keep mud away from the basin and pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System contains 3 pumps, a 1/3 HP pump, a 1/2 hp sump, and the UltraSump Battery Back-up. Together these pumps keep your basement dry. 

This basement has some concerns with water infiltration. In addition to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, on the opposite side of the basement, we installed with SuperSump Pump System next to the water heater. The SuperSump Pump System which contains a 1/2 hp pump on a pump stand to keep it from clogging if any silt or sediment finds it's way into the pump basin.
