The renovators for this newly purchased home knew that the epoxy sealant applied to the foundation walls was not going to help this basement stay dry. You see, epoxy sealants and other sealants of the same nature don't fix the root cause of basement leaking issues. The real problem is all the water pressure sitting on the outside of the foundation walls, and the best way to relieve that pressure is an interior perimeter waterproofing system. We installed our system equipped with subfloor drains, a sump pump, and a vapor barrier. This system invites the built up water through weeping holes near the bottom of the foundation, (as seen in the before photo) and discharges all the water far away from the base of the home. After the system was installed, the renovators were ready to finish the basement however they like.
Before waterproofing, this Harrodsburg, KY basement was plagued by persistent dampness and musty odors. After our intervention, the space is now dry, bright, and protected. We installed BrightWall® panels, which not only enhance the basement's appearance but also direct wall seepage into the drainage system, preventing moisture intrusion. The WaterGuard® subfloor drainage system was added to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint, ensuring efficient water management. To handle water removal, we implemented the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, featuring three pumps that provide continuous operation even during power outages, offering unparalleled protection against flooding.
This basement was in need of a waterproofing job and we were ready to help. We installed Waterguard around the perimeter of the basement, and a SuperSump sump pump to complete the job.
A homeowner in Louisville, Kentucky wanted to have Sunhouse Window Enclosures installed to the basement windows.
When installing a full interior perimeter waterproofing system, it's important to have a trench drain near doors leading outside. Stairs outside these doors are prone to ushering water towards your basement floor, and so its important to capture this water with a trench drain before it reaches the basement. This trench drain is connected to WaterGuard drains, which go beneath the floor and up against the basement walls. The drainage system as a whole then leads all the water to a SuperSump sump pump.
