To prevent the water intrusion from worsening, the Design Specialist recommended securing several waterproofing products. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with the Design Specialist to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kevin, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Kevin and his crew started by securing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew can shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the TripleSafe to the new WaterGuard. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that prevents humidity and mold growth. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching it to the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the work completed by the crew.

To fix this issue, Chuck recommended WaterGuard, our below-the-floor perimeter drain system that collects water and safely sends it to the sump pump, SuperSump+, our elite sump pump system that is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls and sends water leads to the drain system. The homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Chris N., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by installing CleanSpace. These are installed using drilled in fasteners and attaching them to the walls. Then, the crew began installed the SuperSump+ and WaterGuard. The SuperSump+ is installed by excavating a sump pump pit where the liner would be placed. After the liner is placed and the pump is set up the crew jackhammers the permeter of the basement to install WaterGuard. Clean rocks are then placed in the holes and the WaterGuard rest on top and is backfilled with more rocks. WaterGuard is then connected to the sump pump and the flooring is restored. After they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
