Photo Album: Wet Basement Problem Solved in Roswell, GA

While this Roswell, GA homeowner had only lived in their home for 1 year, it had been a struggle to keep their basement dry every time it rained. Water was seeping through cracks on foundation wall in different areas of the basement. Concerned that mold growth would soon happen if left untreated, they searched the internet for a professional basement waterproofing company that could provide the solution they needed to have a dry basement. After reading positive reviews and customer testimonials, they decided to contact our office to schedule a no-cost obligation inspection of their basement. After speaking with the homeowner to learn more about what happens to their basement each time it rained, basement waterproofing inspector, Taylor B. thoroughly inspected both inside and outside of the home. It was discussed that water was seeping through multiple cracks on the foundation wall and into their basement, causing personal belongings to become water damaged and no longer of value. It was a goal of the homeowners to eventually refinish their basement for additional living space, so it was important that their wet basement problem be solved. Upon completing the inspection, Taylor decided to ensure the basement always stays dry, the installation of an interior drainage system, wall vapor barrier, and a sump pump system is the permanent solution for the problem. Once Taylor explained our installation process, the homeowner was very pleased with how the installation process works and was eager to have a dry basement for good! To waterproof the basement, our high-trained production crew jackhammered the perimeter of the basement floor and removed the concrete debris before the WaterGuard Drainage System could be installed. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that collects water that comes through the foundation wall. A hole for the sump pump was made and the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. The TripleSafe provides 3 levels of ultimate protection for your basement while pumping our high volumes of water! To protect the basement from high moisture levels, CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System was installed along the basement walls. CleanSpace can hold back water vapor from passing through your foundation walls. That water will drain on the back side and into the drainage system, directing it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. With anti-microbial additive built in, no mold or mildew can grow on the CleanSpace! An Exterior Discharge Line is connected to the sump pump system and directed to the outside of the home. The line will carry the water away from their home at a safe distance. This will ensure that no backflow of the drained water will re-enter the basement. A LawnScape Outlet is secured to the end of the line that allows for the water to exit through the openings it has on top. To install the line, our crew digs a trench to place the line and backfills the trench while covering the pipe. The LawnScape Outlet is is made flush with the ground so there is no worry for tripping hazards or getting caught on the mower! By combining these Basement Systems' products, this homeowner will not have to worry about a flooded basement again!

Basement Waterproofing

WaterGuard Drainage and half-wall Clean Space Vapor barrier

Weep Holes

Weep holes are drilled through the foundation wall allowing for water to pass through. This will give the water an exit instead of soaking into the foundation wall causing additional issues. A vapor barrier will be permanently fastened to the wall that prevents water intrusion into the basement. That water will then drain down the backside of the barrier and into the drainage system.
