Photo Album: Waterproofing in Hendersonville, NC

Water, water, water: the main thing we always talk about on this website. Well, without water our company wouldn’t have a purpose, would it? Every time I get a call to schedule a free estimate appointment, the customer typically starts with the phrase, “well I got a water problem”. Thankfully, I always have the response, “well we have a solution”.             Basements are bound to take in water, this we know for a fact here at All-Dry of the Carolinas. We specialize in a permanent, interior method of waterproofing that has a lifetime warranty called WaterGuard. This waterproofing method is placed around the perimeter of the basement above the footer to catch water. It works as a drainage system to move any water into a sump pump where it can be flushed from the basement.             This basement in Hendersonville, NC was having water seep into it where the wall and the floor met. In the pictures that were taken during the free estimate by our design specialist, David Listovitch, you can see where the floor and bottom of the wall has water stains and dirt. This water was coming down the hill through the flower bed and against the exterior basement wall. The homeowners placed a fan in this section of the basement as an attempt to keep it dry to avoid high moisture levels and humidity.             Our crew led by crew foreman Jose Najera, installed 62 units of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is equipped with an inspection port that allows the drainage system to be flushed and checked annually. Water was getting into the basement the worst under the stairs at the front of the house, since this was also the lowest point of the basement that is where our crew installed our SuperSump Pump. Our SuperSump pump is designed for the convenience of basements, with a bigger liner, airtight lid, and the WaterWatch Alarm System. The WaterWatch Alarm system alerts the homeowner if water reaches the top of the pump. The SuperSump flushes water from the basement through the drainage line and through the LawnScape outlet that is in the yard. Since this home is in Hendersonville, NC, which is a city that experiences freezing temperatures, IceGuard was added to the basement discharge line. This product is place at the top of the discharge line right outside of the home. In the case of an frozen water or snow clogging the line, water will back up and go out of the holes in the IceGuard, instead of backing up into the pump where it could flood the basement and damage the pump.             This project took three days to install due to the amount of WaterGuard that was bought. It took our crew one whole day to jackhammer the trenches around the perimeter of the basement that the WaterGuard would be placed in. The homeowners were very impressed with the job and their basement hasn’t had any water issues since!
