Waterproofing a Wet Basement in Bear, DE
A homeowner in Bear, DE faced a persistent challenge with moisture accumulation and water puddling in their basement, especially following heavy rains. Despite having a sump pump, water infiltration continued to worry them, prompting them to seek a more efficient, long-lasting solution. Our experienced production team set to work installing several key elements to eliminate the basement's wet conditions. First, we put in a WaterGuard system: a discreet and durable drainage solution designed to capture water seepage and channel it away efficiently. This non-clogging drainage system works alongside the aptly placed CleanSpace liner along the walls of the basement for optimal moisture management. For enhanced protection, we installed the TripleSafe sump pump system, renowned for its reliability in handling high volumes of water and its ability to operate during power outages. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was set up to sharply reduce humidity levels, thus preventing mold and improving air quality throughout the home.

CleanSpace in Hockessin, DE
In this basement, water was intruding through the drywall and a moldy smell started to occur in the area. Our team went out to cut back the wall, removed and hauled away damaged insulation in order for us to install our sub-floor drainage system with a vapor barrier. This drain system will capture any water that seeps in through the foundation, which gets carried down safely through our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that connects to the WaterGuard. This surface barrier eliminates vapor, moisture and by keeping this area dry, will prevent mold growth.
