Basement Before Installation
Unfortunately there were not too many pictures taken before the work was done, but this one shows part of the basement and what it looked like before our crew came in. Some of the effects of the water intrusion can be seen in the along the seam between the floor and wall. The water was getting into the basement and just sitting around these areas.
Installed BrightWall Paneling
This photo shows off part of the basement with its new BrightWall Paneling covering the old wall. The panels are large plastic panels (you can see the seems to get the idea of how big) that are fastened to the wall, and help to dress up a basement, without having to go through the process of hanging drywall, painting, etc.
Another Photo of the Installed BrightWall
Here is another photo of the installed BrightWall. Not only is it an easy way to make a basement look better and cleaner, it also serves a drainage purpose. BrightWall helps any water than comes through the walls to make it to the WaterGuard easier. The water will run down the inside part of the BrightWall and drain right into the WaterGuard.
BrightWall Panels and WaterGuard
Here is another photo that shows off the BrightWall, but also the WaterGuard. WaterGuard is hard to see because it is in the floor, mostly covered by concrete. When the WaterGuard is installed, there is a small gap between the floor and wall. This gap is a lip on the WaterGuard, the water that comes off of the wall and collects in the drain. After the water is in the WaterGuard, it gets drained to the sump pump.
Installed SuperSump Sump Pump
This photo shows the last piece of the puzzle; the SuperSump pump system. This is where all of the WaterGuard drains to. The water that comes into the basement needs somewhere to go, so that it doesn't continue to cause problems in the basement. That is where the sump pump comes into play, it pumps the water outside and away from the home, so that it doesn't come right back and cause the same issues.
