WaterGuard in Bear, DE
This homeowner reached out to Basement Systems regarding leaky walls and water coming through cracks into the basement after any type of rainstorm they would have. Our team went out to the property to drill a trench all alongside the foundation wall in order to install our sub-floor drainage system, WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard system collects water from the wall and floor and redirects it to flow into the sump pump. The sub-floor drain sits above the footer so it can capture all the water that comes through and safely channel it away rather than leaking through the wall and into the home, which would cause flooding over time.
Moisture Issues in Bear, DE
This homeowner in Bear, DE was experiencing water intrusion in their basement. Water seeps in during the heavy rain and creates a damp environment in the basement, creating mold. The homeowner knew they needed true professionals to waterproof their basement. They called Quality 1st Basements and System Design Specialist, Nick Pechickjian did a full inspection. He suggested WaterGuard to drain the water in the walls and drain it away from the foundation. Then he suggested a SuperSump Plus due to the severity of the water seepage. The Quality 1st Team also installed CleanSpace Walling to protect the basement from the moisture on the walls filtering into the air and creating more conditions for mold. Finally, they installed IceGuard on the exterior of the house to prevent the discharge line from freezing. The homeowner could fully relax now that their basement was safeguarded against moisture.
