How do I prevent my basement from getting wet?

How can I make a damp basement dry?

When it comes to keeping your damp basement dry, installing a dependable basement waterproofing system is key. An interior drainage system and sump pump work in tandem to keep water out of the basement and away from your foundation while a dehumidifier keeps the air dry and prevents condensation from forming on walls, ceilings, and windows.

How do I fix a leaky basement foundation?

There are many foundation waterproofing methods and products available to prevent water intrusion. However, most water problems can't be solved with a single product or treatment.

Stabilizing and Waterproofing a Basement in Mason, IL

Basement walls were failing in Mason, IL, and water was actively entering it, causing more problems. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and requires no invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to support the joints and protect the floor system's durability. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls, and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it from the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out, and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for many years to come!
