Radon Mitigation preformed in a home in Plano, Tx.
This customer was wanting something to resolve the water issues that they were having in their basement. They always had standing water on the floor of the basement. The walls had moisture and condensation, all the time, enough that there would be water running down the walls. If the walls did dry up some, there were water marks left that stained the walls. They had a sump pump in their basement, but they felt that was ineffective for anything, except for draining, once there was enough water to be pumped out. If they left anything on the floor, there was so much moisture, that there were rust rings left on the floor. They had their home heating/air system, and their water heater in the basement, and there was rust beginning to appear on the systems. They had them sitting on elevated wooden platforms. The wooden platforms had water damage to them. There was also a very musty odor in the basement.
Olympic Restoration Systems was contacted for an assessment of their basement. We visited the property and proposed a quote to the customer. They proceeded with basement waterproofing and a sump pump for their home.
This customer wanted to know if there was anything that could be done to prevent their basement from having water and moisture in it all the time. They had cracks in the cement in their basement, on the floor and on the walls. Along the cracks, moisture was coming in, sometimes so much that they had pools of water on the floor. The walls of their basement also seemed to always have moisture on them. They also noticed that they holes and cracks along the perimeter wall in the basement. They had a full bathroom in the basement and were having the same moisture issues in that room as well. They wanted to salvage the shower and commode during the process of fixing and waterproofing their basement, if that was possible.

This homeowner had a basement that leaked when it rained. She was preventing mold growth by using fans and "squeegees" every time it rained, but she was ready for a more permanent solution. We sent one of our System Designs Specialists, Darrin, to the property for a free basement waterproofing estimate. He inspected the property and presented the homeowner with a solution for her wet basement. The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and proceeded with basement waterproofing from Olympic Restoration Systems.
