Before: Foundation Cracks
Cracks in the foundation are a common sign of bowing walls.
Before: Moisture Problem Out of Control
The homeowners had lined the basement with towels to collect the moisture that was pouring into the space.
Installing the WaterGuard
After using a jackhammer to remove concrete from the perimeter of the basement, the crew installed the WaterGuard waterproofing system and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, all of which tied into the sump pump.
Installing CleanSpace
The crew installed CleanSpace wall vapor barrier along the interior of the home. This will work to prevent any moisture from entering the home through the walls.
The Power of PowerBraces
After installing the PowerBraces, it was easy to see just how much the walls had bowed. The PowerBrace system works to realign the foundation over time for a solid solution that is the least intrusive to the home.
Tying the System Together
Once the crew installed the WaterGuard waterproofing system, CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, and PowerBraces, they tied it all into the SuperSump sump pump, which will remove all moisture from the home.
Ready for Finishing
The last step of the project was to pour fresh concrete over the waterproofing system. The space is now ready to be used for storage, or for additional living space!
