Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Robbinsville, NC Basement

This photo album will show a few photos from a job that we completed in Robbinsville, NC. This basement/kitchen area was having problems with water intrusion through the bottom of the wall. In order to help out with their problem, we installed CleanSpace Wall, WaterGuard, and a SuperSump Pump system.

Beginning of Installation

Here was one of the first parts of the installation of our system, because of the location of the sump pump and the WaterGuard, part of the stairs needed to be disassembled. This was necessary because the WaterGuard was being installed along the wall under the stairs and couldn't be seperated, because of drainage.

Behind Stairs--Future WaterGuard Location

Here is the area that is behind the stairs that were shown in the last picture. In this photo, our crew has already cut the drywall out, so that they could install the CleanSpace Wall. The CleanSpace Wall helps to direct any water that comes through the basement wall to the WaterGuard, which can be seen in future pictures.

Future Sump Pump Location

Here is another view of the area behind the stairs in the first picture. This is where the sump pump will be installed in this basement. The sump pump is where all of the water drains off to when it is collected in the WaterGuard. The sump pump is then pumped out of the basement and outside, where it cannot make its way back to the home and basement.

Crew Working on Installation

Here is a picture of the crew working on preparing the floor for the WaterGuard installation. They are working on taking up the tile that was closest to the wall, since they were going to have to dig out the concrete against the wall, so that the WaterGuard could be installed. We try our very best to take up as little as we have to and keep the area as clean as we can.

Another Photo of Crew Preparing for Installation

Here is another view of the crew working on preparing the floor for the installation of the WaterGuard system. As mentioned before, the crew had to take up the first row of tiles, so that they would have enough room to install the WaterGuard drain. Part of the drywall has also been removed in this basement, because we were installing our CleanSpace wall, which is usually installed a few feet up the wall.

Installed WaterGuard and Sump Pump

This picture shows the installed WaterGuard that was installed under the stairs, as well as the sump pump in the very back of this area. The WaterGuard is a drain that collects water from the wall, which then drains to the sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water outside the home.

Wider View of the Installed WaterGuard

This picture shows how the WaterGuard that was installed in the basement. While the actual WaterGuard cannot be seen, the area in which it was installed can be. In this photo, the WaterGuard has already been put it, covered with gravel, and covered again with concrete.

CleanSpace Wall and WaterGuard

Here is the CleanSpace Wall that keeps getting mentioned. It is extremely helpful in collecting and forcing the water to run down to the WaterGuard. This is especially important to have in more finished basements, because it helps to prevent the water from getting to the drywall and completely ruin the wall.

Installed SuperSump Pump

This is what put the final touches on this system for the owner. While the WaterGuard and CleanSpace Wall do a great job of collect and funneling the water, the water doesn't have anywhere to go without the sump pump. The discharge can be seen going out the right-hand wall, going outside to take the water far enough away from the building that it can't find its way back.
