Water seepage through leaky pipes is common.
Cracks in the pipe have made it even easier for water seepage to enter the basement.
Water intrusion also occurred from the floor joists, which is another common entry point.
As shown, repeated water intrusion has caused damaged to walls causing the drywall and paint to break away.
The icky discoloration in the corner is one of the many signs of a basement that has been repeatedly saturated with water and dampness.
The basement before waterproofing was a real pain for Rachel and she wanted a change!
The sump pump before was not sufficient in keeping water and water vapor out of the basement.
While waterproofing the perimeter, the team takes special care work around the very pipes that would leak water into the basement.
Another leaky pipe that was waterproofed.
WaterGuard comes with WaterGuard ports which allow easy access to the system.
The team installs WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to drain wall leaks and ground water seepage.
The perimeter is waterproofed with a system designed not to clog.
TripleSafe sump pump is a 3in1 pump system that is structured to keep the basement dry with an airtight lid, WaterWatch alarm system, battery back-up pump and so much more.
The installation of TripleSafe and WaterGuard are ideal waterproofing solutions for wet basements!
