Solution

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan P., arrived at the home for the inspection. Ryan noticed that water was seeping through the joints between the wall and floor. He explained to the homeowner that a failed footing drain is the likely reason why the homeowner is experiencing a damp cubby beneath the stairs. For this reason, Ryan recommended WaterGuard, our below-the-floor drainage system that collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it to the sump pump, Foamax, our foam insulation panel that helps control the humidity level, SuperSump+, our elite sump pump system capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water in an hour, IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze, and Aprilaire Dehumidifier, to control the humidity levels and prevent mold growth. After looking over Ryan's recommendations, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Victor S., and his crew arrived at the home to carry out the installation. The crew installed 12ft of WaterGuard and Foamax, 1 SuperSump+, 1 IceGuard, and 1 Aprilaire Dehumidifer. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
