How do I prevent my basement from getting wet?

Protecting your basement from water leaks or flooding starts with identifying water intrusion sources and installing a high-quality basement waterproofing system. Your system should be tailored to your home's individual needs and may include waterproofing products such as an interior drainage system and sump pump. Learn more about how you can prevent water in your basement.

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. Learn more about how to make a damp basement dry.

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. Working with a reputable waterproofing company is the best way to ensure the basement waterproofing systems that best suit your specific needs are installed. Learn more about how to fix a leaky basement foundation.

How do I get rid of mold and musty odors in my basement?

Mold and mildew thrive in dark, moist environments where organic materials are present, such as a basement or crawl space. Fixing water leaks and protecting against future moisture intrusion with a reliable waterproofing system, as well as keeping the air dry with a dehumidifier, prevents mold growth and odors in your basement.

Sealing Off Moisture from a Colonial Beach, VA Basement

Moisture was seeping through the porous foundation walls of this basement in Colonial Beach. We installed a durable 20-mil CleanSpace vapor barrier over these basement walls, which will help to collect any moisture seeping through the walls and direct it to the Water Guard XL drainage system. The CleanSpace vapor barrier acts as a barrier between the usable basement space and the outside influences.

Installing a SuperSump Plus in a Colonial Beach, VA Basement

This basement in Colonial Beach was having issues with infiltrating water. We created a hole to fit our SuperSump Plus system in connection with the WaterGuard drainage system. This efficient sump pump basin contains a cast iron 1/3 horsepower Zoller pump, a WaterWatch alarm system, a CleanPump sump pump stand, and an airtight lid. Any water directed to this sump system is then drained out of the home via hose line and LawnScape to a predetermined area on the property away from the foundation.
