Water seeping through the cracks is one of the many factors that made this basement wet.
Because of water intrusion, the basement was beginning to rot and smell bad.
Water intrusion from the foundation and around the perimeter was a big concern for Olga.
Waterproofing the perimeter is key to ensuring ground water seepage and wall leaks are directed to the local sump pump.
WaterGuard is designed not to clog and to keep it flowing smoothly, the team installs WaterGuard above the foundation footing.
Laterals help to relieve hydrostatic pressure and allows water to drain to the local sump pump.
CleanSpace liner is 20 mil thick liner with an antimicrobial additive that resists mold growth.
WaterGuard port is installed with WaterGuard for easy inspection.
The team customizes discharge lines to efficiently exit water from the basement.
TripleSafe is considered the cadillac of sump pumps and for good reason as it comes with a 3 in 1 pump, WaterWatch alarm system and other patented features.
Project Info

Olga H. is the homeowner of this Carbon Cliff home and noticed that water was seeping up from the foundation. Wanting to correct the issue permanently, they called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. The team waterproofed the basement by constructing laterals, installing WaterGuard subfloor drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump system. Olga's basement is now dry and seepage proofed!
