Barhamsville, VA Basement Waterproofing

Challenge

This homeowner contacted us about the basement in their childhood home. They mentioned issues, even from childhood, occasional water entering the basement, through wasn't entirely sure of the history of the basement's waterproofing. They mentioned issues with water entering during heavy rains or when the water table would get higher. A french drain has been installed 25+ years ago but didn't solve the issue. They are noticing water entering the basement frequently. The basement had been mostly finished, but with frequent water infiltration, the homeowner has to gut about 90% of it due to water and mold damage. They even had a dehumidifier running 24/7. 

The homeowner wanted to solve this water infiltration problem in their basement and keep it dry all the time. 

Solution

The solution to this homeowner's wet basement was the WaterGuard System, a Sump System, and the Sanidry Sedona Dehumidification System. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement, and CleanSpace is installed on the basement walls to direct any water down into the drainage system. The system then directs the water to the sump pump which pumps the water out of the basement and away from the home. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidification System. This will keep the basement dry and allow the homeowner to re-finish the basement, without the worry of having to gut it again.
