Waterproofing Basement in Orange, CT

Tuesday, July 18th, 2017 by Danielle Lariviere

Challenge

This homeowner in Orange, CT had a basement that was suffering from some pretty nasty water damage. The paint was chipping and peeling away, and mold was infesting the cement walls and floors. The space was being wasted because the family wasn't able to use it to their advantage. By not utilizing their whole basement, this homeowner was essentially wasting half of their footage. They were ready for a change and gave us a call to have these problems fixed!

Solution

First, our waterproofing professional Rick Raucci came into the family's home, and advised them on how to tackle their water and mold problems. Then, it was time to get the ball rolling!

For the water seeping into the home through the walls, we installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain. This is our most widely used drain system. The water is channeled to the sump basin and out of your house through the drainage system. The WaterGuard is a popular drain system because of how effective and reliable it is. It is a minimally invasive installation and comes with a written lifetime warranty.

Next, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump. An industry leading sump pump, exclusive to Basement System dealers, this model has power, reliability, and resistance to clogging! It works relentlessly, and gives customer a peace of mind knowing it keeps their home dry.

For the door leading out of the basement, we installed our TrenchDrain Grated Drainage Pipe. This will prevent ground and rain water from entering your basement, and damaging your property. Now that their space has been waterproofed, this family has the relief of knowing they can do what they want with their space, without the risk of water.

The mold and water damage was pretty severe in this area of the basement. The paint was chipping off of the concrete which made for a really unappealing room.

You can see how bad the mold and water damage was showing through the walls and floor. A problem like this will only get worse over time.

The whole floor and all of the walls were suffering from an inflow of unwanted water. Mold was growing which is dangerous to your health and the structural integrity of your home.

The edges along the wall of this room were allowing water to leak into the home and seep underneath the floor.

We installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain along the perimeter of the walls in the basement. It isn't visible because it is installed below the footing of the floor. This collects any water that leaks from the walls or up from the ground.

Our TripleSafe Sump Pump works relentlessly to make sure your home stays dry. It is a industry leading sump pump and channels the leaking water out of your home.

Our TrenchDrain Grated Floor Drain collects any ground water or rain water that might leak into the home. This is flowed through the WaterGuard and into the sump pump and out of the home!

Our WaterGuard is installed out of the "mud zone". It has an anti-clog design that makes it our most widely used drainage systems. Plus it comes with a written lifetime warranty!
