Signs water was present
In this photo, you can see the lines that have been left on the walls from where water has set. Efflorescence is the name for the residue that is left behind after water has been present in the space. It is the salt deposits from the water. This is one of the first signs you can notice when looking to see if water has infiltrated the basement.
WaterGuard
WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement, and collects the water that is draining behind the CleanSpace wall system. It is installed under the original concrete in a hole, and covered with gravel and a thin layer of concrete. The gravel acts as a filter toe ensure that only water can enter the WaterGuard, ensuring no blockages from sediment or dirt.
EZ-Flow
EZ-Flow is designed to allow water to flow better, and also helps to prevent blockages. It does not use gravel, and comes pre-assembled, allowing for less invasive work to de done in the home. This was installed in the crawl space of the home.
SuperSump
The SuperSump sump pump was installed in this home. This sump pump was installed in the crawl space of this home, and it can equipped with battery back-up. Between the sump pump draining the water out and away from the home, and the batter back up installed along side the sump pump, this crawl space is ensured to stay dry all of the time.
