This basement in Kings Mountain, KY, was struggling to keep water off of the floor. The soil outside this basement had a naturally high water table due to the grade of their land. This was causing water to rise up through the coves in the basement, right around the perimeter of the basement. We ended up installing our interior perimeter waterproofing system, which will guarantee this basement will stay dry. The homeowner liked this solution, as it didn't require and regrading around their home, any excavating around their foundation, or any other major disturbance. All we had to do was move the furnace unit, jackhammer the floor around the perimeter of the basement, fit our WaterGuard subfloor drains in the floor, install our SuperSump sump pump, and recovering the drains with a fresh layer of concrete. The homeowner was happy that they were able to achieve a dry basement without any disruption to their yard.
At this Lexington, KY, home, water was seeping through the stone foundation, leaving damp spots and musty odors in the basement. We waterproofed the basement by installing a WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to capture water, remove it reliably, and control humidity. Stone foundations are tricky because water can sneak through even tiny gaps between the stones, but by combining drainage, pumping, and dehumidification, the basement is now dry, healthy, and fully protected, turning a potentially high-maintenance historic feature into a worry-free space.
As a result from all the hydrostatic pressure this basement foundation was receiving, the walls were bowing in and leaking water. In the before picture you can see the chipped paint, cracks, bowing, and the pool of water on the floor. In the after picture you can see PowerBraces holding the bowing walls up, CleanSpace walls covering the once dirty wall, fresh concrete over the hidden WaterGuard drains all around the perimeter of the basement, and a TripleSafe sump pump all the way in the corner.
The existing front porch for this home in Cynthiana was all bent out of shape. Large gaps revealed themselves throughout the driveway and front porch, which is a cause for concern. Large gaps not only look bad, they can decrease the lifetime of your slabs. That's why we leveled these slabs out with our PolyLevel foam, and then sealed them with our sealant. The result was a happy homeowner!
This home was leaking water into the basement, which was frustrating for the owner. We were able to help by installing CleanSpace, WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. This interior perimeter waterproofing system will keep this basement dry and clean for a long, long time.
