Bowing Walls
The walls are visible coming inward most likely due to hydrostatic pressure.
Bowing Walls Continued
There was more than one wall that was bowing. The walls needed stabilization, quick.
Prepping WaterGuard
To waterproof the basement, the team installed WaterGuard as the perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard is installed on top of the foundation footing to prevent clogging. It has a built in gap between the floor and wall to drain wall leaks to the local sump pump
CleanSpace Installation
After the perimeter is prepped for the WaterGuard but before WaterGuard is installed, the team further waterproofs the basement by fitting the walls with CleanSpace.
CleanSpace & WaterGuard Installation
When the WaterGuard is installed, CleanSpace is tucked securely into the WaterGuard providing excellent perimeter waterproofing.
PowerBrace Installation
to stabilize the walls and make the space safer, the team installed the Powerbrace system. PowerBrace is another patented product that stands out from the competition. These zinc plated I-Beams are resistant to rust, making it long lasting. Besides the sheer strength and durability of the PowerBrace system, the part that Cory is most excited about is PowerBraces tightening quality. The PowerBrace immediately stabilizes, but the system can be tightened, potentially improving the overall condition of the wall.
Complete
The team replaces the old sump pump system that was inadequate, with the King (And Queen) of sump pumps called TripleSafe. TripleSafe is the ultimate sump pump that is designed to keep basements dry all the time. The homeowner can now enjoy his new home with a dry, usable, and safe space.
That's a Wrap
