This basement was cold and damp before we came in and installed the Thermaldry Wall system and a Waterguard Basement Waterproofing system. Now, it will be dry and comfortable for years to come.
When water began intruding on this basement, the homeowners were concerned. Their basement had been finished a few years prior, and they didn't think they had any water issues, but the wet spots on the carpet near exterior walls, was showing that water was getting in. To fix the issue, they called up John's Waterproofing. Our crew was able to go in and removed the damaged portions of the space. We installed WaterGuard along the interior parameter, diverting water to a new TripleSafe sump pump, and water was sent out, safely from the home. We then installed ThermalDry radiant barriers along the walls to insulate the space, and our finishing crew came in to re-finish the space. The home will now remain dry and healthy.
With water creeping through the foundation and into the basement, the owners of this home had concerns. They didn't know what this could do to their health, but they could determine that is smelled damp and musty. Knowing they wanted to do something about this before it caused issues, the owners contacted John's Waterproofing for a free inspection. We did a full walk-through the basement with the owners and than worked on a solution. To begin we would dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the room. We than lay down gravel and WaterGuard. This system will collect water and allow it safe travels to the lowest point. From here the water enters a TripleSafe sump pump and is directed away from the homes foundation. Along the walls we than installed our BrightWall paneling. This is a rigid plastic material that will not mold or mildew, and acts as a safe vapor barrier for moisture to travel behind and down into the drain system. We than finished this job by installing a SaniDry dehumidifier which will address any excess moisture in the space. Now the owners can rest easy knowing their home is healthier from the foundation up.
This homeowner had a basement apartment that had water intrusion constantly and it needed to be addressed. Our inspector went out and detected where the water was coming in and suggested to put in a drainage system. Our crews installed our WaterGuard system along the perimeter walls. It will drain unseen down to a sump pump where the water will be pumped out and away from the home. Our crew also installed BrightWall Paneling that is made specifically for basements. It is waterproof and easy to clean. The BrightWall also works in conjunction with the WaterGuard system; it works as an effective vapor barrier on cement basement walls. The customer loved how much brighter the basement was, it gave it a clean fresh look.
This wet basement needed two sump pumps installed along with the WaterGuard system and ThermalDry Basement Walls. The two SuperSumps will work together to pump out the water channeled to them from the WaterGuard system. The ThermalDry wall system helps protect against water vapors and channels any high wall water leaks or seepage into the WaterGuard system, it also reflects heat back into the basement and makes it more comfortable. With this system, this homeowner's basement will stay dry for years to come.
