Damp Basement in Maggie Valley, NC Gets WaterGuard and BrightWall

This basement was having some problems with water intrusion around the floor/wall joints. This is a pretty common issue in basements, because it is a "weak" spot in the construction of the home. As you can see, this basement was not in the best shape, which was something that the homeowner also wanted to take care of, while we were fixing the water intrusion issue.

To help this homeowner out and solve both of their problems simultaneously, we used three products; WaterGuard Drain, BrightWall Paneling, and a SuperSump pump. These three products together provide a very good defense against water intrusion in the home. They work hand-in-hand to prevent the water from staying in the basement, by pumping it out as quickly as possible.

The crew started this project by excavating the area around the perimeter of the basement, as well as an area for the SuperSump. Once a trench was dug out around the basement, the crew began installing the WaterGuard drain, which is one of the main parts of the system. The WaterGuard is what actually catches the water and drains it to the sump pump, where it can be pumped out and away from the home. Last, but not least the BrightWall panels were installed. This not only helps to keep the water in and drained to the WaterGuard, but also makes the walls of the basement look better. They help to give the basement a more "finished" look, without the price tag of finishing a basement.
